Abdul Alhazred for VP?
and im starting to believe that the boy truly is Nyarlathotep...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyarlathotep
he is described as a tall, swarthy man who resembles an Egyptian pharaoh who wanders the earth, seemingly gathering legions of followers through his demonstrations of strange and seemingly magical instruments, the narrator of the story among them. These followers lose awareness of the world around them, and through the narrators increasingly unreliable accounts the reader gets a sense of the worlds utter collapse. The story ends with the narrator as part of an army of servants for Nyarlathotep.
