On January 15, 1925, Jackson Elias, son to Dr. Leonardo Elias and cousin to Rosalie Elias, was murdered in New York City by individuals with ostensible cult connections evidenced by their strange attire, primitive weaponry, and the symbol they carved on the victim's forehead.
Together, along with other cousins of the late Jackson Elias, Vincent Moretti and Walter Brandon and a very near cousin by marriage and long-time associate of the family, Stanley Bishop, the group looked into this group of cultists. They were joined by reporter Thomas Cotton as well as assistant Annabel Ashcroft, who since returned to New York. It was later discovered that these cultists perished in some manner of gang violence.
Among other things found on Jackson's person at the time of his death was a business card for Edward Gavigan of the Penhew Foundation, which lead the group of us here. Some investigation revealed that Gavigan was a member of a group of dangerous eccentrics related to the ones responsible for Jackson's murder, and that they had something most foul planned to occur at Gavigan's country estate. They informed the police of the incident and provided assistance in helping rescue captives from Gavigan before things went too far.
While in London, the group suffered the losses of Stanley Bishop, Vincent Moretti, and Walter Brandon. A miscellaneous list of other items discovered have pointed to other branches of this cult in Cairo, Kenya, Shanghai, and Australia.
