Joe Sargent

"'He was a thin, stoop-shouldered man not much under six feet tall, dressed in shabby blue civilian clothes and wearing a frayed grey golf cap. His age was perhaps thirty-five, but the odd, deep creases in the sides of his neck made him seem older when one did not study his dull expressionless face.'""- H. P. Lovecraft, 'The Shadow over Innsmouth'"Joe Sargent is half-breed citizen of Innsmouth and a local bus driver.

Role in the game
Sargent is the first character introduced in the town of Innsmouth. His guttering voice, deformed face, a hunch, large feet and unfriendly attitude are the first things one can notice about him. After talking the bus from Arkham, Jack travelled alone with Sargent towards Innsmouth. Sargent's bus is old and rusty so when later in the night he says that the engine is broken it doesn't seem all that far from the truth. This however is all a lie with to goal of luring Jack into the Gilman Hotel to be butchered by the locals. After that Sargent is never seen or heard from again.

Sargent can be heard having a conversation with another local, Charlie Gilman, who works in a nearby hotel. He also seems to be highly trusted by the local Esoteric Order since he was entrusted to give the massage from Robert Marsh to Gilman concerning Jack's fate.
