Henry C. Imbert

Henry C. Imbert is a character created by Frank Belknap Long for his Cthulhu Mythos novel The Horror from the Hills.
==Biography==
Dr. Henry C. Imbert, F.R.S., F. A. G. S., is a renowned American ethnologist, introduced as one of the foremost authorities in his field. His appearance isn't described in detail, save for the fact that he wears spectacles.
About two years prior to the events of the novel, Imbert helped the police to identify the toxin in a poisoned arrow used to kill an old woman, recognizing it as the same one traditionally used by a certain African culture.
When the supposed "statue" of Chaugnar Faugn revealed itself as the actual living god and killed a watchman in the Manhattan Museum of Fine Arts, the museum's curator Algernon Harris sought help from his friend, Dr. Imbert, who in spite of his knowledge was unable to offer any clue about the ancient god's nature. Instead, Imbert advised Harris to seek help from a retired occult detective named Roger Little.
Little showed Harris and Imbert the entropy-reversing machine he had invented, prompting Imbert to react with skepticism, believing that the fourth-dimensional image produced by the machine proved only that Little had hypnotized them. However, he was convinced after Harris used the machine to pulverize a wall. Together the three men mounted the machine on Little's car and followed Chaugnar Faugn to the Jersey coast, where the exposure to the machine's entropy-reversing beam sent the primal being back to the higher dimensions it had originally come from.
