LANGAVAT, CONALL
(b. 1650, Outer Hebrides, Scotland; d. 1864, Island of Benbecula, Langavat Manor; werewolf). He and his family were noble lords who, after attempting to steal the bride of a powerful Druid, were killed and cursed so that if their graves were ever disturbed, they would rise again as werewolves. Once this happened (1864), the Langavats began stealing children from local villages with the hopes of sacrificing them to Pagan gods in order to regain their humanity. Local occult hunter Fergus Duff and acquaintance Francis Wakefield discovered the plot and destroyed the Langavat clan, breaking their curse and giving them peace. |

HOLLANDER
(b. 1852, Jackson, Michigan, USA; given name unknown; occult hunter, adventurer). Raised by his father, a lumberman and retired trick shooter/performer, he first discovered what could be considered “occult happenings” passing through Sauk Indian territory in Eastern Michigan (1864). He left home when he was 17 (1869), traveling via steam ship to Casablanca, Morocco. Hiring himself out as an adventurer, he found himself on the run from local gangsters, ultimately running into and rescued by Francis Wakefield (1871), who was impressed with his character. He was soon after taken under Wakefield’s tutelage. |

(b. 1821 Selkirk, Scotland, UK; occult/treasure hunter, adventurer, privateer). Born into affluence, he was educated at Cambridge until abruptly dropping out to join the Royal Navy (1839). Fought in the Opium Wars where he was wounded in battle and honorably discharged (1842). After returning home for a stint, he traveled extensively throughout Asia and Africa before joining the East India Company as a financed privateer (1852), where he eventually participated in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. After the death of his family that same year, he began traveling as a fortune hunter/occultist, determined to find the source of archaic knowledge by immersing himself in lands, peoples, and histories. |
