Roger Vane Worthington Carlyle

Born 1895
No police record; no military service.
Leader of the lost Carlyle Expedition.
He was rumored to be a dissolute
playboy and was a favorite topic of the
New York gossip columns. He had a
checkered academic record with
gentleman's resignations from Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, Miskatonic, Cornell
and USC, before finally earning a
degree from Groton. He is said to have
pulled himself together after his
parents died in an automobile accident.
It also said however that he relied heavily on the assistance
of his more capable sister, Erica Carlyle, and his bodyguard,
Jack "Brass" Brady.
The Carlyle Expedition, announced in Spring of 1919 was an
abrupt and unexpected chapter in his escapades.
