Hsieh Ho

Hsieh Ho is a character created by Frank Belknap Long for his Cthulhu Mythos novel The Horror from the Hills.
==Biography==
Hsieh Ho is a Chinese laundry shop owner living in Manhattan. Like Roger Little, he is an individual of above-average psychic sensitivity, which led him to experience a dream about the incoming return of the monstrous Chaugnar Faugn.
In his dream, Hsieh Ho saw "big green animals" descending from mountains and devouring people, and was ordered by Gautama Siddhartha to head to the Manhattan Museum of Fine Arts, where Chaugnar himself would be waiting. He also saw the museum's curator of archaeology, Algernon Harris, and despite not knowing his identity, somehow also knew that that man would help him.
Following his prophetic dream, Hsieh Ho visited the museum, where he remained hidden after closing hours. When Chaugnar awakened, it didn't go after Ho, but preferred to feed on the museum's night guard, Cinney, whose corpse was found horribly mutilated and exsanguinated. Having witnessed the death of Cinney, Hsieh Ho hid himself behind a large statue of Venus Erycine.
The next day, the police found and arrested Hsieh Ho, believing him to be the murderer, but Algernon Harris (who was aware of Chaugnar Faugn's nature) intervened on his behalf. Seeing that the officers were planning to use force to interrogate Ho until he confessed, Harris threatened to take legal action. The police sergeant reluctantly agreed to treat Ho only as a witness for the moment. (: The Horror from the Hills)
