Party Leadership
The Elder Party is guided by individuals of extraordinary tenure and commitment. Some have served in leadership for years. Others have served for eons. All share a vision for this nation that transcends the ordinary limits of political ambition.
Cthulhu R'lyeh
Founder & Party Leader
Eternal · Unknowable · Decisive
Has waited millennia to serve this great nation. Emerged from the Pacific with a vision for America's future that transcends the petty squabbles of mortal politics. Previous experience includes dreaming beneath the waves for eons, inspiring civilizations, and maintaining a consistent approval rating among coastal populations. Believes that true leadership means being willing to wait — and that the wait is over.
“Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. But not for much longer.”
Nyarlathotep Marsh
Campaign Chairman
Eternal · Unknowable · Decisive
A thousand faces, one message. Has run campaigns across dimensions and always delivers results. Voters describe him as 'impossible to forget,' which his team considers the highest compliment in politics. Joined the Elder Party at its founding — or possibly before its founding, depending on which timeline you reference. His smile has been described as 'photogenic' and 'containing too many teeth,' both of which he takes as compliments.
“I don't convince voters. I remind them of what they already know. Deep down, everyone knows.”
Dagon Whately
Policy Director
Eternal · Unknowable · Decisive
Third-generation Innsmouth resident. Georgetown Law (class of 1847). Authored the Deep Ones Job Creation Act and the Shoggoth Personhood Amendment. Breathes underwater, which he insists is not relevant to his qualifications but which has proven useful during coastal campaign events. His policy briefings are described as 'thorough, well-sourced, and occasionally damp.'
“Good policy is good policy, whether you're reading it above or below the waterline.”
Hastur Olmstead
Volunteer Coordinator & Field Director
Eternal · Unknowable · Decisive
Wherever two or more gather to canvass, he is there. Organizes rallies that attendees describe as 'life-changing' and 'impossible to leave.' His volunteer recruitment numbers consistently exceed projections by 300%, which he attributes to 'a personal connection with every volunteer' — a claim that is technically true, though the nature of that connection remains difficult to articulate. Do not ask about the Yellow Sign.
“Volunteering isn't something you do. It's something you become. The campaign doesn't need your time — it needs you.”
