   * [[Doctor Frederick Bartlett|Dr Bartlett]] and Highsmith arranged for his release, a  hearing for which was scheduled for November 30th 1928. However, before he could be transferred to the Kent rest home chosen for him, he disappeared. At first, he was believed to be murdered, but the facially mutilated corpse was later identified as nurse [[Thomas Clarke]], and it was realised that Alexander had either absconded with, or been kidnapped by, Montague Edwards, who had been at the Asylum all along, posing as [[Nurse Evans|Nurse Mark Evans]].   * [[Doctor Frederick Bartlett|Dr Bartlett]] and Highsmith arranged for his release, a  hearing for which was scheduled for November 30th 1928.

   * Roby, it turns out, had been planning, with [[Montague Edwards|Edwards]], to summon the mystical city of [[Carcosa]] to Earth.

-  * Roby met with the investigators when they came to Carcosa and enlisted their aid in helping him to stop Edwards. The group was aided by [[Yolanda]] and were holed up in her room when Roby concluded that the only way to stop Edwards was to end his own life and thus the force that was holding Carcosa on Earth. [[Nathaniel Browne]] managed to convince him instead that he should attempt to use [[the Chime of Tezchaptl]] to absorb and turn back the energy of the ritual Edwards was using to summon The King in Yellow. +  * Roby met with the investigators when they came to Carcosa and enlisted their aid in helping him to stop Edwards.

   * Although Edwards was defeated, it is unclear whether it was by the action of the chime or by Roby's suicide, as the investigators were fleeing the city at the time, though the fact that the thousands of [[the Springer Mound Monsters|Byakhee]] perched on the palace walls swooped into the palace with a raucous cry just before the Investigators escaped points both to the fact that Roby successfully used the chime and that he is now dead.   * Although Edwards was defeated, it is unclear whether it was by the action of the chime or by Roby's suicide, as the investigators were fleeing the city at the time, though the fact that the thousands of [[the Springer Mound Monsters|Byakhee]] perched on the palace walls swooped into the palace with a raucous cry just before the Investigators escaped points both to the fact that Roby successfully used the chime and that he is now dead.
