Pharos, the Egyptian
Authorship not stated
You play Cyril Forrester, a painter whose Egyptian canvas has just made his name. Months after an old stranger laughed while a drowning man went under near Cleopatra's Needle, you meet that same laugh again at a society evening, attached to a mesmerist named Pharos and his companion, the violinist Valerie de Vocxqal. That night Pharos talks his way into your studio to examine your father's mummy, fixes you with a stare that empties the room, and leaves you waking before dawn to a murdered dealer and an empty alcove.
