History
18th century[]
The Nameless One's name was swore upon in the contract in which John Grimlan sold his soul and body to Malik Tous in exchange for longevity or wealth, in the 18th century.[1]
Modern Age[]
He was seemingly worshiped on Yuggoth by the Fungi from Yuggoth, was invoked by the carved sign on an altar where humans (somehow stranded on Yuggoth) were sacrificed.[2]Notes
- The Nameless One was created by H.P. Lovecraft in Recognition (adapted in The Scar, Haunt of Horror: Lovecraft #1), from Fungi from Yuggoth (written between the 27 December 1929 and the 4 January 1930), and later mentioned in Robert E. Howard's Dig Me No Grave (written in 1937 and adapted in the eponymous story in Journey Into Mystery (Vol. 2) #1; October, 1972). In his Cthulhu Mythos short story "Jerusalem's Lot (Night Shift; 1978) Stephen King introduced The Worm, describing it as the "Servant of Yogsoggoth, the Nameless One!", seemingly tying Yog-Sothoth to this name.
