Bio

A man of great wealth, Anthony Dunwich founded the Dunwich Borers mining company in the mid-1800s. In reality, the company was a front for Dunwich’s obsession with finding relics related to the ancient god, Ug-Qualtoth. Dunwich believed that the secret to resurrecting him was hidden somewhere in the Eastern United States. Dunwich’s theories proved to be correct with both the Dunwich Building in D.C. and the Dunwich Borers Quarry in Boston finding alters to Ug-Qualtoth. Dunwich’s interactions with the ancient god have granted him eternal life but have also driven him to the edge of madness.

                Dunwich sounds and behaves like a pantomime villain. He relishes in giving lengthy monologues and taunting his enemies. Ultimately he suffers from the classic fatal flaw: arrogance. His belief in the superiority of Ug-Qualtoth and the inevitability of his return means that he often gives he enemies the means of his own destruction.

Dunwich has around 100 lines.

Voice

There's some room to ham up Dunwich's lines. He's almost a pantomime villain in his eccentricity. He loves the sound of his own voice and getting one over on his enemies so his tone is often mocking.
