John Elwar is a writer/seaman hailing from San Francisco. Elwar started in the game at 08/1931 in San Francisco. He was working the docks in San Francisco and had published a short story in Weird Tales titled the Thing from the Tundra. At that time another dockworker and friend of Elwar’s by the name of Jock Mahoney disappeared. Jock had been involved in liquor smuggling and at first Elwar thought that Jock may have run afoul of the mob. In searching for Jock, Elwar went to the boarding house where Jock resided. The woman who ran the house also noticed that Jock had not been around for several days. Elwar gained access to Jock’s room and found it empty and apparently had never been occupied. There were no furnishings or personal effect belonging to Jock. In addition, all of the surfaces had a thin layer of dust seeming to confirm a lack of occupancy. A search of the room did turn up a locket containing some strands of red hair. Did it belong to Jock? Where did he live and why use the room in such a way? There is no way of knowing, but Elwar found that the locket was made by Tiffany Company probably around 1890 to 1892. Elwar went about his business, but with a slowly rising sense of dread. | John Elwar is a writer/seaman hailing from San Francisco. Elwar started in the game at 08/1931 in San Francisco.

Ellis requested the assistance of Elwar and Redland in a rite meant to stop the “Lady” from continuing to feed on the unnatural energy. Elwar gave his consent while Redland gave something that could be construed as consent if interpreted in such a way. Ellis also provided them with an elixir he dubbed the “aqua vita”, which seemed to provide power and vitality. In providing their assistance Elwar and Redland learned to harness an inner power and transfer that power to another (in this case Ellis). This process left them weak and struck with a feeling of diminishment. Ellis instructed those present to adopt false names and summoned forth Andrew again to assist if required. Elwar chose the name Silverthorne after his sister’s cat that ran away for no apparent reason last winter, but was still close to his heart. Conducting the rite Ellis intoned eldritch phrases and alluded to blasphemous powers, which again caused the rise of preternatural energies culminating with the planting of a branch in the dark soil. The rite was completed in a noticeable lack of effect, but Ellis deemed it successful and the group retired to the town of Fieth, England tired and in need of rest. | Ellis requested the assistance of Elwar and Redland in a rite meant to stop the “Lady” from continuing to feed on the unnatural energy.
