John O'Donnel

John O'Donnel is a character created by Robert E. Howard for his Conrad & Kirowan series of Mythos-related stories.
==History==
A sometime-companion of occultist John Kirowan, John O'Donnel lacks the esoteric learning of his friend.
==="The Children of the Night"===
O'Donnel is revealed to possess knowledge of a past life, one in which he was a Pictish warrior in the tribe of the Aryara, or Sword People. He had fallen asleep whilst on watch, causing the slaughter of his tribe; this disgrace prompted him to exile himself and dedicate the rest of his life to tracking down and killing the perpetrators, the Children of the Night.
==="The Haunter of the Ring"===
O’Donnel acted as the narrator, and witnessed the downfall of malicious occultist Josef Vrolok at the hands of dead sorcerer Thoth-amon, although he played no appreciable role in the actual events which transpire.
==Trivia==
*Although his first name is given as John, one of the secondary characters in "The Haunter of the Ring", Evelyn Gordon, refers to him as Michael- the only time in the story his first name is mentioned.
