Dennis Merkel

Dennis Merkel was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1897. When the United States joined the Great War, Merkel joined up to train as a repairman and mechanic away from the front lines, right up until the war ended. When he returned home to America, he continued to work as a mechanic - and still does to the present.

Phobias and Manias
Phobia/Mania - Description

Initial exposure to the Eldritch
When Merkel decided to move out of New York, he settled in a small place in Arkham, Massachusetts, not too far away from the University. Nearly a week after he moved in, he stopped beside a broken-down car on the side of the road - a car containing a Nun named Mother Rosemary, and Chemist Dr Cillian Davies.

Merkel helped repair their car, and topped up the gas with a can he had in the trunk, and the three of them went up to visit the house they stopped at. As the events of the night unfolded, the Mechanic was exposed to the horrors of the Mythos irreversibly, facing the Hastur-Avatar Lester Goodman, and the Angelic Shapeless One.
