Clithanus

Clithanus, sometimes Clithanus the Mad Monk, is a character created by the late American author August Derleth. 
== Description ==
Little is known about Clithanus other than that he was a holy man in what would become England around 400AD. He is known in the modern day through his writings the Confessions of Clithanus. 
== History ==
In the Confessions Clithanus describes how he delved into hidden catacombs beneath Hydestall and unwittingly awakened a dark entity by removing the star-stone which held it dormant. Bringing his findings to the visiting Saint Augustine, the two were able to seal the evil away, but in the aftermath Augustine sent Clithanus to live out his days in Rome. There, he wrote the work by which he is known today.
