Mother Rosemary

Mother Rosemary (Born Jezabelle Smithe) was the protégé of Father Thomas Senior, and believed it was the duty of the Faithful to banish and remove agents of the Devil (Which Father Thomas Senior had convinced her the creatures of the Mythos are). She was easily swayed by Senior's passionate talk about defeating the forces of evil, and sought to do his work in the field now he is unable to, seeing him as an example to be followed. Rosemary worked as an investigator at The Mystery Shack, and was given a position in the Investigation branch of the Pontifical Swiss Guard by Pope Pius XI. She was known among the investigators to carry a 20 gauge single barrel shotgun called Holy Persuasion.

## Mother Rosemary

### Affiliation

The Sisters of Saint Raphael, The Mystery Shack

## Phobias and Manias

**Musophobia** - Fear of rodents, developed at a young age due to being able to hear them crawling and scratching in the walls of her childhood home

**Hieromania** - Belief she is a prophet of Saint Michael, developed after reading The Shard of Leviathan Tome III

**Ablutomania** - Compulsion to clean oneself, developed after witnessing the Avatar of Nyarlathotep in Peru

## Initial exposure to the Eldritch

While in her years as a Sister, she learned of the 'Forces of Satan' from Father Thomas, though in no extreme detail, it wasn't until she was asked to look into the missing Mr Kimble did she come face to face with them. Mr Kimble had willingly become a Ghoul, and left his house to Rosemary and Doctor Davy, who since made it into The Mystery Shack - a hub of sorts for their investigative crew.

## Relationships

Clifford Underwood - Associates at The Mystery Shack, Rosemary found Cliff absolutely fascinating, and was delighted when he finished with the renovation of the Ross's Corners Farmhouse and returned to active investigation. She found his company refreshing.

Doctor Cillian Davy - Associates at the Mystery Shack, Rosemary and Cillian were hardened together through their trials over the time Cillian was in active investigation. While Rosemary is glad he's safe at Miskatonic, she misses working with him and his scientific approach.

Elliot Rodger Samuel - Rosemary was present when Samuel died, and she takes his passing as a driving force for her determination to expel the forces of Satan. She misses his youthful optimism.

Rabbi Adam Ben Hesed - Associates at the Mystery Shack, Rosemary was the one to explain the Eldritch investigations she has been on, able to make it more manageable for him to process through a religious stand point

Dennis Merkel - Associates at the Mystery Shack, Rosemary was untrusting of Merkel at first, but since found the only bad thought she can find of him is exasperation at his penchant for suggesting explosives.

Emmie - Rosemary was suspicious of the mobster, unsure of his intentions, and didn't trust him to be willing to keep the whole group's best interests a priority

Yaroslav - Rosemary was unsure about Yaroslav, but as he was introduced as a friend of Father Thomas Senior, she was more willing to trust him than she would have should they have met in the field.

Father Marcus Gavin Thomas (Senior) - Rosemary studied under Father Thomas Senior, and found him to be an absolute model for what she wished to become as a member of the faith. She believed most of his word to be gospel, after having seen him perform what she believes to be a miracle of faith.

Father Thomas Thomas (Junior) - Rosemary underhandedly studied Occultism with Father Thomas Junior, and found herself warming to his sweet, albeit sometimes arrogant, charm. After a heart to heart in Darkwater, Rosemary found herself worrying for his well-being, and frequented trips to Salem to see him.

Jackson Elias - Rosemary met Jackson in Peru, and helped break the news to him that the Eldritch are real, he repeatedly saving her from monsters and illness on their journey. They had since kept in contact, and had met occasionally when he passed through Arkham. Jackson confused Rosemary in her perception of him, due to her naivety at his flirting.

Xavier Reed - Reed initially antagonised Rosemary through the Shard of Leviathan, threatening to convert her to his lord Leviathan, and is only willing to speak to her when her sanity wavers,

Algernon Drake - While they only briefly met during the investigator's trip to Darkwater, Algernon helped seal the Shard of Leviathan Tomes away, and has since inspired her to pursue the creation of Elder Signs - specifically with carving one into her chest in mind to protect her soul.

## End of Days

While seeking out the stone of the Being in the Void, the investigators ended up in the Mansion of Madness, in which they found a woman being eaten alive from the inside by insect like creatures. The sheer sight of it sent Cousin Vinny straight outside, where she was attacked and killed by a larger form of the creatures.

Mother Rosemary ran to help Vinny, and was attacked and killed by a similar creature, the rest of the group unable to save her, Vinny, or Emmie who tried to help in time.

Her body was burned up in the destruction of the Mansion.

On her person at the time were they key to the safe containing the Shard of Leviathan in The Mystery Shack, her notebook holding all her notes on their various missions (and a charming telegram from Jackson Elias), and the sealed cigar case given to her by Father Thomas Junior - which she had been told to open when all hope seemed lost.

However, even at that point, Rosemary hadn't lost faith in her companions, and her hope was still burning strong.
