Deidrich Eldritch

As a child Deidrich was always intersted in creepy things such as cryptids and unsolved mysteries; never being scared of much. So when he learned of the Magnus Institute he decided he wanted to become a librarian. Almost immediately after he finished his Library Science degree, James Wright, the current head of the Magnus Institute, offered him a job as a librarian. He worked as a simple librarian until Wright's death in 1996. He then took a higher position as Elias Bouchard's head librarian and assistant.

It wasn't long after Elias took over the institute that Deidrich was then chosen by the Dark to become one of it's avatars. It simply thought that it would be fun to steal a potential avatar from the Eye as Deidrich became closer to one of the Eye's already known avatars. So one night while Deidrich was out swimming after work, he was dragged under by some unseen force and nearly drowned. He does not remember how he managed to escape; only remembering sinking into the dark and then awakening on the shore. He didn't realize what was happening to him until he started feeling stange pulls to the darkest parts of the library and even swimming late at night. He knew vaguely what the Entities were and began to do more research on the Dark, discovering that his new found affinities were due to it trying to manifest in him. After this it began to manifest more evidently via tentacle appendages that he could use at will and a third eye beneth his left; something he could only assume was another jab at the Eye that had a heavy presence in the insitute.

However, the Dark's plan to corrupt Deidrich against the Institute and use him as a sort of spy for it backfired. Despite being a newfound avatar of the Dark he felt absolutely no loyalty to it and wanted nothing to do with it's other followers.

When the Change happend, he stuck around in his own Dark domain close to the institute for a while. However he heard rumors of other avatars being hunted down and killed, and with Elias now all but gone to him, he decided to use his connection to the Dark and slide into a new dimension. He now lives in an alternate version of London, where he founded an alternate version of the Magnus Institute; the Bouchard Institute.
