Duke Givens

Inspector Duke Givens 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 ==
A "portly man with jowls", Givens prefers to dress in suits which are always clean and neatly pressed. An inspector in the Innsport Police Department, he is married to an unnamed woman, and has a love/hate relationship with the protagonist of The Lovecraft Mysteries, private investigator Devlin Macky.
== History ==
After being assigned the case of an artefact stolen from the Innsport Natural History Museum, Givens and his partner Lieutenant Newt Bardhoff 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).
