Kate Winthrop

Kate Winthrop, also referred to as the Scientist, is a character created by Fantasy Flight Games for the second edition of Cthulhu Mythos board game Arkham Horror, released in 2005.
==History==
A researcher in the physics department at Miskatonic University during the late 1920s, Kate's life changed when an experiment ripped a hole in reality, allowing a terrifying abomination through which consumed her partner, the unfortunate Professor Young. Since then she has devoted her time to creating a weapon with which to combat the creatures she now know knows lurk just out of sight.
In Graham McNeill's novel Ghouls of the Miskatonic, Kate appears as a minor character who conducts research on a mysterious artefact uncovered by the investigators, but achieves little other than destroying her laboratory.
