1. #1Robert Olmstead

   Keys: Olmstead, Robert Olmstead's, Robert's, Robert Olmstead, Olmstead's, Robert

   Robert Martin Olmstead is a seemingly perfectly normal human man, though his eyes have the same strange quality seen in all descendants of Obed Marsh. Growing up in Toledo, he journeys to Massachusetts and stops at Innsmouth almost by chance, as it is on the way from Newburyport to Arkham, while on a journey to discover more of his family roots. While there, he learns he himself is the great-great-grandson of Obed Marsh and a Deep One, and in time will become one of the amphibious monsters he witnessed in Innsmouth. Though he initially leaves, he tells no one what he has seen, and eventually returns to Innsmouth as the psychological effects of his heritage take effect, disappearing in a way that worries his close friends.

2. #2Joe Sargent

   Keys: Joe's, Joe Sargent, Joe, Joe Sargent's

   Origin: Innsmouth Occupation: Bus Driver Affiliation(s): Deep Ones

   In 1927 Robert Olmstead rode Joe Sargent's bus and described him thus: "a thin, stoop-shouldered man not much under six feet tall, dressed in shabby blue civilian clothes and wearing a frayed grey golf cap. His age was perhaps thirty-five, but the odd, deep creases in the sides of his neck made him seem older when one did not study his dull, expressionless face. He had a narrow head, bulging, watery blue eyes that seemed never to wink, a flat nose, a receding forehead and chin, and singularly underdeveloped ears. His long, thick lip and coarse-pored, greyish cheeks seemed almost beardless except for some sparse yellow hairs that straggled and curled in irregular patches; and in places the surface seemed queerly irregular, as if peeling from some cutaneous disease. His hands were large and heavily veined, and had a very unusual greyish-blue tinge. The fingers were strikingly short in proportion to the rest of the structure, and seemed to have a tendency to curl closely into the huge palm. [He walked with a] peculiarly shambling gait and . . . his feet were inordinately immense"

   Although he did not know what it was at the time, Olmstead was looking at a case of the Innsmouth Look, although not one so far advanced as to be obviously identifiable as non-human. He immediately disliked Sargent, further stating: "He was evidently given to working or lounging around the fish docks, and carried with them much of their characteristic smell. Just what foreign blood was in him I could not even guess . . . I myself would have thought of biological degeneration rather than alienage"

   Bus route Sargent drove the only bus which ran between Newburyport and Arkham, via Innsmouth. The coach itself is a decrepit grey rattletrap and cost 60¢ to ride. Hammond’s Drug Store Stop, Newburyport (10 AM / 7 PM)

   • Past Plum Island on the main highway to Rowley and Ipswich.
   • Down a narrow road very near the beach.
   • A steeper incline with the Atlantic to the left.
   • Down into the valley of the Manuxet with a view of the long line of cliffs that culminate in Kingsport Head and veer off toward Cape Ann.
   • Past a series of ruined farms.
   • Through the outer layers of Innsmouth on Federal Street.
   • Past the New Church Green and the Esoteric Order of Dagon Hall.
   • Across the Federal Street Bridge into the Town Square. Gilman House Stop, Innsmouth (11 AM / 8 PM)

3. #3Y'ha-nthlei

   Keys: Y'ha-nthlei's, Y'ha-nthlei

   Location: Beneath the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Innsmouth, Massachusetts Inhabitants: Deep Ones

   Y'ha-nthlei is one of the undersea cities populated by the Deep Ones. The hybrid denizens of Innsmouth are known to migrate there after their transformation is complete.

   The city is a cyclopean hub of unearthly and terrible beauty, with many columns and palaces with hundreds of terraces filled with corals and phosphorescent brachiates. The city is located near Devil Reef, off the coast of Innsmouth, Massachusetts.

4. #4Father Dagon

   Keys: Father Dagon's, Dagon's, Dagon, Father Dagon

   Also known as: Father Dagon Offspring: Deep Ones Mate: Mother Hydra

   Dagon presides over the Deep Ones, a hidden amphibious humanoid race that resides in the Earth's oceans, and is worshipped by the Esoteric Order of Dagon, a secret cult based in Innsmouth. He is the consort of Mother Hydra. Dagon looks like an immense Deep One, roughly the size of blue whale.

5. #5Mother Hydra

   Keys: Mother Hydra's, Mother Hydra

   Offspring: Deep Ones Mate: Father Dagon (consort)

   Mother Hydra is a creature who, alongside her consort Father Dagon, is said to rule over the race known as the Deep Ones. There is debate as to whether or not they are lesser Great Old Ones or mere grotesquely mutated Deep Ones - though the latter seems more likely as they do not seem to show much in the way of supernatural power outside of their gigantic size and unnaturally long life span.

   Though she has a set of two arms with webbed hands, and her heads look like those of the Deep Ones, Mother Hydra has a thick, snake-like body, with six breasts, and an uncountable multitude of heads.
