Basil Elton

Basil Elton is the narrator and protagonist of H. P. Lovecraft's Dunsanian story "The White Ship". He is the keeper of the North Point lighthouse, and once a regular visitor to the Dreamlands. His visits to the Dreamlands ended when he was killed in a shipwreck there, leaving him stranded in the Waking World. (: "The White Ship")
The Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game, in which Elton appears as a non-player character, locates the North Point in Kingsport, Massachusetts. (: The Complete Dreamlands) This is likely a reference to The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, in which Randolph Carter mentions "a lighthouse-keeper in ancient Kingsport" heavily implied to be Basil Elton.
