Robert Marsh is the main antagonist of the 2005 game Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

He is a member of the Marsh family and the leader of the Esoteric Order of Dagon, ruling the fishing town Innsmouth with an iron fist. Frequently sacrificing any outsiders lingering too long in the town and unruly members of the local population in his worship of Father Dagon and Mother Hydra, Robert seeks to bring about the end of the world by awakening Great Cthulhu.

Robert Marsh was originally a character in the scenario "The Raid on Innsmouth" from the Call of Cthulhu RPG game, where he has mostly the exact same role than in the game as leader of the Order of Dagon.

Biography[]

He is first mentioned when the Order decrees that private investigator Jack Walters must be killed in the Gilman Hotel before he finds out the truth about Innsmouth. Jack escapes and later, FBI agents enter the Marsh Refinery where they arrest Jacob Marsh (son of Sebastian Marsh) and find evidence that Sebastian works with enemies of the State.

Consequently, U.S. Marines launch an attack on the city of Innsmouth. Robert gathers the last surviving members of the Order as they hold their ground in the old Masonic Ha ll where the headquarters of Esoteric Order of Dagon are located. Via a ritual, the Order creates a magic barrier on the main doors so that the Marines cannot enter the building. Jack gets in through the secret doors that are near the Manuxet river and disrupts Robert's ceremony, allowing the barrier to fade out. Robert is forced to retreat through the old smuggling tunnels leading out to Devil's Reef.

Upon the arrival to Devil's Reef, Robert Marsh summons Dagon by casting discs into the ocean and performing a human sacrifice. Dagon attacks the US Marines' ship Cutter Urania, along with several Deep Ones with Jack on board. Walters defeats Dagon using the ship's cannon, but it sinks the ship in the process. Robert then goes to the temple of Hydra in Y'ha-nthlei where he, along with other priests and Mother Hydra herself, creates a huge magical barrier around the underwater city to protect it from being bombed by submarines.

The US Navy then launches a submarine attack on the city, but it fails to pass the magical shield. Sebastian, returning from a business trip, stumbles upon Jack sneaking inside the tunnels. He captures the detective and throws him in a cell, taking the Book of Dagon from him in the process. Later, Walters escapes from prison through the ventilation system, and finds Sebastian arguing with Robert on the city's defense. The argument soon becomes a fight; with Sebastian shooting Robert, injuring his left arm in the process, after which Robert kills his brother using magic. After a ventilation shaft that held Jack above falls, Jack finds himself forced to face Robert. During the fight Jack has no weapons and must flee and hide from Robert. He eventually finds a knife on the desk and stabs Robert to death with it.

Personality[]

Unlike his elder brother, the businessman Sebastian Marsh, Robert is an intensely religious person - to the point of fanaticism - obsessed with the Tablets of Dagon and the message they contain. He's also a fully transformed hybrid, the High Priest of the Order and a mage well-versed in witchcraft. After being enlightened by his faith in the Old Ones, he has also become somewhat of an anti-darwinist, pointing out to Darwin's lack of vision in his journal.
