H.G. Wells

Herbert George Wells is the famous author of "The Timemachine", one of the famous author guests of Edgar Allan Poe and Lenore's love interest. He dies in Chapter 8: The Cask of Amontillado but brings himself back (as a ghost) in the Epilogue.

Background
When H.G. was 9, he broke his leg and could do nothing but read. That's when he decided he should write and invent as well. He asked for a loan for his time-machine with Eduardo Dantes when he is invited to a dinner party/murder mystery game with Edgar Allan Poe.

In the series
H.G. is introduced as one of Edgar's guests, along with other famous authors and Annabel Lee and her plus-one...Eduardo Dantes who is quickly discovered dead in his soup bowl.

When Louisa May Alcott is killed too, H.G. discovers Mary Shelley is most likely the killer. When Mary is electrocuted to death, the group splits. H.G. and Lenore search the attic for clues, but H.G. places cameras (which he pronounces caméras) around the house and garden. He falls in love with Lenore.

After a few others are killed, H.G. dies in a poisonous smoke. His camera later shows the murder of Annabel Lee.

As a ghost, H.G. spends centuries in the afterlife designing a time-machine. When he does, he travels back to a month after his own death and stays with Lenore forever.
