Carter is a quiet and melancholy dreamer
with a sensitive disposition, prone to fainting during times of
emotional stress. But he can also be courageous, with enough strength of
mind and character to face and foil the horrific creatures of the
Dreamlands.
Randolph Carter is an antiquarian and one-time student of the Miskatonic
University. Based on clues from various stories, he was probably born
around 1874 and grew up in and around Boston. At the age of nine, he
underwent a mysterious experience at his great-uncle Christopher's farm
and thereafter exhibited a gift of prophecy.
He is the descendant of Sir Randolph Carter, who had studied magic
during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. Sir Randolph had then
emigrated to America and his son Edmund Carter later had to flee the
Salem witch-trials. Carter also had an ancestor involved in one of the
Crusades, who was captured by the Muslims and learned "wild secrets"
from them.
This volume contains all of H P Lovecraft’s stories about Randolph Carter.
