@ilinx:~$ Peter Vysparov
Peter Vysparov was a Russian émigré, whose family had fled to the USA during the Revolution. The Vysparovs were a reclusive family, shrouded in rumour. Serf legend had it that they had acquired their wealth through ‘abominable magical pacts’. And, sure enough, rumours of occultism followed Peter Vysparov into World War II. Coincidentally, Vysparov had been posted to the same theatre where Stillwell had done much of her fieldwork. He worked with the Dibboma, the degraded rump of the Dib N'Ma, who were one of the three original N’Ma tribes. It was said that Vysparov had employed ‘unorthodox’ means in his war against the Japanese, using Dibboma sorcerers in a ‘magical war’. Since Vysparov's methods were highly successful, military High Command was not overly concerned to investigate them. Vysparov is also known as the initiator of the Cthulhu Club and it is only with the recent release of correspondence between Vysparov and Stillwell that the events of the war – which throw a great deal of light on the subsequent development of Virtual Ethnology and the MVU – have become clearer.
