Soomus

Soomus the Seventh of the Seventh was a great sorcerer. His nickname hints that he is the seventh son of the seventh son of the Dreamlands' very first wizard. Soomus was mightier in magic than all other men. He was a good man, as have been all of his descendants with very few exceptions, one of them being Thinistor Udd. One of Soomus' descendants, Nyrass, lives in his family castle in Theelys to this day.
Soomus kept in the castle's apartments some of Dreamland's most ancient and esoteric writings, "direful tomes whose very titles may not be spoken by sane or human tongues". 
Klarek-Yam had heard of Soomus and knew him for a mighty magician. He determined to seek him out and ask his aid in the performance of the blackest rite of all: he wished to free Cthulhu and the Great Old Ones from their prisons. He came to Soomus with his wand and his blasphemous proposition. In the wand he already controlled the power to seek out and find Cthulhu and his ilk, so that all he needed from Soomus was a key to their prisons (of course, Soomus and Klarek-Yam themselves would not be harmed, for they would be first-loved amongst all Cthulhu's human priests and acolytes). In reply, Soomus shrank him down, and prisoned him in a glass sphere.
