Edgar Morgan Portwright

Dr. Portwright was a recently bereaved man trying to understand a rather peculiar corpse that had a mess of mechanical parts and fungus within it. Upon meeting members of the Neptune Society, he joined their investigation out of concern the corpse could have held disease. During the investigation he managed to distill the fungus in Ludlow's body into an unknown substance. Dr. Portwright was also the one to discover an ancient tome, The Book of Eibon, in the toy shop and spent much time reading it and learning of the great horrors beyond our world.
