Casper Trenchton

Casper Trenchton is a troubled, melancholic young man, whose mind was badly scarred by an event in his youth. He is tall and powerfully built, resembling a rugby player. Following the death of his father he finds himself a resident of Wendlelow’s haunted streets, in the employment of the enigmatic Doctor Mogfadian.   

Julie MogFadian

Julie is the niece of Doctor Mogfadian. She likes to wear a Bretton Fiddlers Cap - as she thinks it irks her somewhat stifling uncle – and has many boyish affectations. She is intelligent, if not a little naïve and helps the Doctor with some of his more esoteric tasks, as well as running a small antiques shop close to Wendlelow’s market. She is a member of a local Folklore Society, run by the universities head librarian Nolan Perkins.

 With such a strange uncle, and living in a town plagued by sinister forces, it was only a matter of time before she was forced to confront the terrors that dwell in the darkness.

Doctor Benedict Mogfadian

Doctor Benedict Mogfadian is a somewhat mysterious individual. A self-styled magician, he is the employer of the main protagonist, Casper Trenchton. Though he currently spends most of his time at his house in Wendlelow, he also owns a rather grand home in the Cotswolds called Puddlebury Hall.

A somewhat eccentric individual, the doctor likes to wear a top hat, dark clothing, and a short cape. He always carries a mysterious blackthorn cane with him when he is out and about.

He lives with his niece, Julie, who assists him in his laboratory, where he brews concoctions that he refers to as “potions.”
