A data analyst and father of two small (back then anyway!) eldritch things (aka children), Mark has been a resident of Auckland, New Zealand since 1994; when his wife, Sonja, brought him back as a souvenir of her travels. He continues to be English despite being told to stop on several occasions, and has been playing Call of Cthulhu since the Great Old Ones were merely the Great Middle-aged Ones.

Mark turned 40 during the running of this campaign (August 1st 2006), and had what he claims was “the greatest birthday weekend in the history of Western civilisation”.

Mark has run many Call of Cthulhu adventures over the years, including:

• Masks of Nyarlathotep two and a half times

• Horror's Heart and Horror on the Orient Express twice

• Beyond the Mountains of Madness, Uttati Asfet, Shadows of Yog-Sothoth, The Fungi From Yuggoth, Realm of Shadows, Spawn of Azathoth once

• and most recently the Sutra of Pale Leaves campaign,

He owns copy #127 of the leather-bound Miskatonic University Edition of the Call of Cthulhu rulebook, and 1/3 of the R'lyeh Disk.
