CharactersFrancis Wayland Thurston
Francis Wayland Thurston is the Boston narrator who assembles the evidence in The Call of Cthulhu. His investigation begins with the papers of his grand-uncle George Gammell Angell and expands through interviews, travel and Johansen’s maritime manuscript. He does not directly see Cthulhu. His terror comes from recognizing that independent records appear to describe different parts of the same event.
