Spencer

Cursed 3

**Dr. Spencer M. Carrington** is a main character in the Cursed series and the protagonist of Cursed.

## History

Not much of Spencer is known before the events of April 16th, 2008. His title and interest in Lunars however do imply he was presumably an archaeologist, and also a personal friend of Tim Lloyd, a town tavernkeep.

Spencer made a number of major discoveries in the estate of his personal friend Tim' ancestors, Jack and Marilyn Lloyd after having unearthed many artifacts. Against the opposition of his family and for purposes of convenience, he purchased it from Tim, moved them to the house, and had it renovated. His most recent notable discoveries include fragments of the Faith Crystal and a large chamber beneath the estate grounds.

Spencer also (correctly) believes an off-limits mine located in Tim's town is connected to the Lunar civilization and wanted to investigate, but never had the chance to get a closer look.

## Cursed

When Jennifer was goaded into the crypt by Holly and Tim realized she went missing, he decided to contact Spencer, who is undaunted by superstitions and is well-versed in such realms. Spencer decides to make full use of this opportunity to document whatever that's within the crypt for use in further research, fighting or avoiding whoever that gets in his way. He eventually succeeds in defeating Malus after besting the Knight Captain, but he was too late in stopping Jennifer's possession, and he was attacked, leaving his fate ambiguous.

## Cursed 2

Spencer does not appear in Cursed 2 and is presumed dead by Holly as well as Randall. No further references to him exist in the game.

## Cursed 3

Spencer indeed manage to survive, but was afflicted by Malus' influence and as a result turned into a monster. The Crystal Fragments he found earlier indirectly drove his family to destruction, leaving nothing behind. Nevertheless, Spencer hoped to draw someone to discover his research and help him.

At the beginning of the game, Spencer, in his possessed and monstrous state, was briefly seen blowing up Jennifer's car before vanishing. Both Jennifer and Charon were drawn to the destruction, but neither could figure out who's behind it.

After casting the spell SPIRITUS EXILIUM found much later in the game, Jennifer manages to free Spencer, who gratefully thanks her for the rescue and offers to answer whatever questions she had in mind, as well as how to defeat the evils that have plagued the town. He can be optionally talked to for additional information.

Spencer later joins Randall and Jennifer and casts the summoning ritual to fight and hopefully defeat Malus. They prevail, and Malus is forced to retreat. Spencer then reveals the user of the summoning magic forfeits their life. He has nothing to lose with all of his family gone and so didn't want the two to talk him out of it. He wishes them luck before disappearing.

As history was reset with the removal of Malus and Luna, it can be assumed that Spencer and his family survives in the new timeline.
