== Biography ==
=== 1860 Greenland and Iceland expedition ===
Webb embarked on an expedition of exploration in Greenland and Iceland in search of Runic inscriptions. While far north on the western coast of Greenland, he found an isolated cult of Inuit whose religion was believed by the neighbouring Inuit to be older than the planet Earth itself.

=== 1908 American Archeological Society meeting ===
Professor Webb met with the other members of the society at the regular meeting place in St Louis. While there, he compared his notes with those taken by New Orleans Inspector John Raymond Legrasse. The pair of them came to the conclusion that despite the vast distance between the cults they had both investigated, they both worshipped the same entity. (PROSE: The Call of Cthulhu)
