Roger Little

Roger Little is a character created by Frank Belknap Long for his novel The Horror from the Hills.
==Biography==
Roger Little is an occult detective and inventor known for having investigated various cases of supernatural phenomena. He has an interest in criminal psychology and a reputation as something of an eccentric.
At some point in his life, Little worked as a criminal investigator and psychologist who dealt in cases involving Fortean phenomena, including several cases of men and women abducted in broad daylight by the Fishers from Outside. Little has documented, as he puts it, "dozens of instances of possession, of return, of immolation, of divination, and of transformation", proved the existence of vampires, succubi and lamias, and "slipped not too unwillingly, into the warm and clinging arms of women five centuries dead". His research into the occult has led him to witness instances of other worlds impinging on ours, and to establish contact with noncorporeal entities "in the void a thousand billion light years beyond the remotest of the spiral nebulae". Little has had such experiences in both dreams and waking ours, the latter which he claims requires "infinite patience and self-discipline, and years of study".
While he eventually retired as a detective and became known as a recluse, Little continued to use his knowledge to fight abnormal threats, and to invent fantastic devices, chief of which is the entropy-reversing machine. He has also authored several books about the supernatural and expressed an interest in writing fiction.
Like Hsieh Ho, Little is an individual of above-average psychic sensitivity and had a dream prophesying the return of Chaugnar Faugn and its brothers from a long period of isolation. Archaeologist Clark Ulman had brought what was initially assumed to be a stone idol of Chaugnar Faugn to the Manhattan Museum of Fine Arts, and the idol emerged from stasis, revealing itself as the actual living god and brutally killing the museum's watchman to feed on his blood. At roughly the same time in the Pyrenees, the Brothers of Chaugnar Faugn descended from the mountains and killed fourteen people. The museum's Curator of Archaeology Algernon Harris and ethnologist Henry C. Imbert sought Little's assistance, which the retired recluse was at first reluctant to provide until Harris mentioned the name Chaugnar Faugn, leading Little to realize the real meaning of the dream he'd had earlier.
While Chaugnar Faugn massacred men, women and children and headed to the Jersey coast, Harris, Imbert and Little tried to formulate a plan. After a demonstration of Little's entropy-reversing machine convinced Harris and even skeptical Imbert that they had a chance, the three mounted the machine on Little's car and followed Chaugnar to the coast, where after hours of pursuit they managed to destroy the monster's physical form and banish it back to the extradimensional spaces it came from originally. The destruction of Chaugnar is accompanied by that of its Brothers in Europe, as the Brothers are dimensionally linked to Chaugnar as part of the same superorganism. (: The Horror from the Hills)
