Ian Pembley

Bio
Ian Pembley is a cowardly and intelligent tomb robber as well as a close friend of Quincy Ferrymore and Valda LeBeau. His greed is incomparable and motivates him to seek out treasure despite mounting dangers.

1852 (The Eldritch Continent)
Pembley accompanied his friends Quincy and Valda to French Guinea in search of the tombs of Necropolis. While in the village of Bayla, he managed to speak with the locals and learned that they feared a "white devil" who resembled Quincy and served creatures called the gula. Pembley suggested laying out a trap for the gula, who were stealing bodies from the local graves. The trap worked and the group discovered the white devil to be Quentin, Quincy's long-lost brother, along with several jackal-like humanoids (the gula). Pembley was injured in the fight and had a vision of a large ruby while unconscious.

After recovering and helping to kill Quentin, Pembley became obsessed with finding the ruby from his vision. As the group traversed the tombs of Necropolis, he successfully found the Eye of Mordiggian which gave him the power of foresight and saved him from an untimely death. Once the group escaped the tomb, he agreed with Valda to abandon a transforming Quincy.

1863 (First General Meeting)
Pembley made a brief appearance to ask the Society for funding so his group could further explore the tombs of Necropolis. It appeared that he had regrouped with Quincy.

1866 (The Earth is a Box of Bees)
Pembley became addicted to the visions, constantly using the Eye as the group further explored the depths of the ancient temple. He also became a target of Helen Klein's ire as he repeatedly interfered with her attempts to become possessed by Nitocris. Klein cast a spell to summon Nitocris, attempting to target Pembley, but instead summoning Mordiggian through the hold the god had on Pembley through the use of the Eye. The elder god pulled itself into existence through Pembley's body and destroyed Pembley afterwards.
