Fan Casting Henry Armitage in H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror

Armitage was the head librarian at Miskatonic University who retired around 1936 due to failing health. He became interested in the occult in 1882 after hearing of a strange meteorite that fell to Earth near Arkham, this event prompting him to read Miskatonic's copy of the Necronomicon. Years later, and with the help of professors Warren Rice and Francis Morgan, Armitage used this work to defeat the Dunwich Horror.
