Description[]

He was a crew member on the marine vessel Emma of Auburn, although his role is uncertain. After Donovan was successful in opening the vault discovered by the crew in R'lyeh, Cthulhu emerged, killing Donovan, Guerrera and Angstrom. Second Mate Gustaf Johansen recounts that during the slaughter, Parker slipped and was "swallowed up by an angle of masonry which shouldn't have been there; an angle which was acute, but behaved as if it were obtuse."
