Devlin Macky

Devlin Macky is a fictional character created by American author Brandon Berntson for his Lovecraft Mysteries trilogy of Cthulhu Mythos novels, for which he is the series protagonist. He made his debut appearance in the first book in the series, The Night of Dagon.
==Description==
A private investigator in the East Coast city of Innsport, Macky is used to taking on any kind of job just to pay the bills, usually missing persons cases, or looking into spouses suspected of cheating. He operates a small office for his business in one of the more nondescript areas of the city, and drives a somewhat beaten-up, but still perfectly serviceable, coupe. He has an aversion to fire, deep water, heights, guns, and dogs, although none of these are crippling fears. Macky also drinks and smokes too much, character flaws which he freely admits to.
===Relationships===
====Veronica Macky====
Macky was married in the past, to a woman named Veronica, who he nicknamed Posh-posh. Sadly, Veronica was diagnosed with cancer a month after their first meeting; she died two years later, after losing her battle against the disease. 
====Millie Von Clydesburgh====
Macky and his secretary Millie Von Clydesburgh have something of a complicated relationship: despite having shared a few kisses, Macky seems reluctant to commit, despite Millie having been quite blunt about her feelings for him.
====Newt Bardhoff====
Macky is also good friends with Innsport Police Department Lieutenant Newt Bardhoff, having saved his life at least once, and even introduced Bardhoff to his future wife, Amelia.
====Bradley "Boom-boom" Denton====
A contact of Macky's from years ago, Boom-boom is a good-natured criminal with an unhealthy obsession with explosives. He is one of the few people in the series to have met Macky's deceased wife.
==History==
After stealing an artefact from the Innsport Natural History Museum, Macky found himself embroiled in a plot to raise the monstrous Dagon. Despite opposition from deranged cultists, undead chauffeurs, and an angry Great Old One, and with more than a little help from Millie and Boom-boom, he was able to thwart the scheme and save the world (: The Night of Dagon).
