Charles Dexter Armitage

Charles Dexter Armitage (October 12, 1883 - ? ) was an American sorcerer, writer, and terrorist who led The Worm Cult, an infamous esoteric religious group with followers that sought to revive a monstrous cosmic entity known as The Worm from its slumber deep inside the Earth. His wife Ethyl Butcher Armitage acted, allegedly, as the medium or channel from whose dark mutterings he wrote The Mysteries of The Worm. Armitage and his apprentice, Dr. Herman William "Big Bill" Jennings, sought to use the Congo River Dam to cause enough destruction to summon their dark god and begin the Age of Aquarius. He also was in league with ORRA Supreme Chief George Patton, who was also involved in the plot for his own gain. Following the failure of his plans in Mittelafrika, he was taken into custody by special forces and shipped back to the Republican Union to stand trial for his heresies and crimes against the state.
