@ilinx:~$ Randolph Edmund Templeton
The name of Profesor Randolph Edmund Templeton is inextricably tangled with the secret perplexities of time. It was he who, by way of a yet barely comprehended time-anomaly, provided the model for H. P. Lovecraft's Randolph Carter ... And yet it was this ‘same’ R. E. Templeton who – on March 21st 1999, whilst delivering a lecture at Miskatonic devoted to a rigorous critique of H. G.Wells – awoke suddenly as the Thing that lurks behind the mask of Immanuel Kant, coincidentally discoverering the transcendental time-machine.
