Miskatonic University has never been known for its team athletics, that is until recently. This year began differently, as 7’4” Seth Whateley strolled onto the campus and was almost immediately given a full basketball scholarship.
There was initially some trouble with Seth because he couldn’t produce any health or school records and he refused to submit to a physical. Miskatonic U’s basketball coach soon cleared these obstacles with some help from some basketball-loving administrators. Seth was able to pass the universities most stringent entrance exams and his refusal to take a physical was waived on religious grounds.
Since then Seth (#44) has broken nearly every single season scoring and defensive record in Cephalopod and conference history. As the big college championship tournament approaches, many people have lots of questions about Seth and several interested parties are willing to find out more about this strange giant out of Dunwich County. Seth refuses to be interviewed and has no friends on campus. Anyone who has tried to find out more about him has come up against strong resistance from family and university officials alike. That’s where the investigators come in – they’ve been asked or hired to find out what exactly Seth Whateley has to hide.
Possibilities
1 Seth is kin to Wilbur Whateley who tried to steal the Necronomicon for his own evil purposes. Seth, like Wilbur, is not totally human. He plans to continue his cousin Wilbur’s work by becoming a college athletic superstar. With free reign as far as the universities restricted books shelves are concerned, he plans to steal the Necronomicon and free the Great Old Ones from their exile.
2 Abraham, Seth’s father came upon an old Whateley grimoire and with a little study he came up with an arcane method to grow his young son Seth to his current size. Money, not the Necronomicon, is the motivation for Seth’s fathers plans. He will do anything to protect his son and his secret, even murder. Abraham has some grasp of what the Whateley grimoire contains, so investigators should beware of spells and other mythos horrors if they should dig too deep or pry to hard.
3 Seth is totally free of any evil ulterior motives. He just wants to get an education and leave the backwoods of Dunwich behind. He is deeply religious and wants to be left alone.
