Mr. Arkham

Mr. Arkham is a character created by American comic book creator Michael Alan Nelson for the Boom! Studios Mythos series Fall of Cthulhu. He made his debut appearance in the very first issue in March 2007.
==Description==
Manifesting as a well-spoken, distinguished gentleman in his late middle age, Mr. Arkham hides a dark secret: he is in fact an avatar of the Outer God Nyarlathotep. To maintain a cover while he enacts his schemes, he operates the Arkham Boarding House, an antiquated, and somewhat dilapidated, establishment which charges high prices for maintaining its residents' privacy.
Mr. Arkham is served by a human man named Connor, and a creature resembling a common housecat named Nemesis, who is in fact a former Atlantean sorcerer.
==History==
Mr. Arkham was responsible for unearthing the corpse of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, whom he subsequently reanimated as part of his scheme to initiate a cosmic war. He then befriended first Walt McKinley, and later his nephew Cy Morgan, in his schemes to retrieve a mystical dagger, before driving the latter insane with the revelation of who he really was (: Fall of Cthulhu Volume 1: The Fugue).
Following these events, Mr. Arkham went on to recruit four monstrous beings for his war, the entities known as the Horsemen of Nyarlathotep (: Fall of Cthulhu Volume 2: The Gathering).
Once his plans began to come into effect, Mr. Arkham captured Lucifer, Cy Morgan, and Raymond Dirk, using Sysyphyx to bewitch Morgan into helping him and torturing Dirk and Lucifer for a time. Once he landed on the newly-risen R'lyeh, his captives in tow, he threw off the guise of Mr. Arkham and manifested fully as Nyarlathotep (: Fall of Cthulhu Volume 4: Godwar).
