Newt Bardhoff

Lieutenant Newt Bardhoff is a character created by American author Brandon Berntson for his Lovecraft Mysteries trilogy of Cthulhu Mythos novels. He made his debut appearance in 2018's The Night of Dagon.
==Description==
Bardhoff is a thin man who is usually clean-shaven, who is described as being "pleasant, easy to talk to". A lieutenant in the Innsport Police Department, he is married to a shy bookstore owner named Amelia, and is good friends with the protagonist of The Lovecraft Mysteries, private investigator Devlin Macky. Prior to his marriage, Bardhoff had a "harmless, innocent crush" on Macky's secretary Millie Von Clydesburgh.
==History==
After being assigned the case of an artefact stolen from the Innsport Natural History Museum, Bardhoff and his partner Inspector Duke Givens found themselves investigating a missing persons case on the estate of cultist Mordred Haddonfield. Captured by Haddonfield and his undead servant Borgas, they were destined to be sacrificed to the recently-awoken Dagon: the timely intervention of Macky and Millie Von Clydesburgh saved them from this fate, and the pair returned to Innsport to begin an evacuation ahead of Dagon's murderous rampage (: The Night of Dagon).
