In 1893, Professor Van Helsing encountered s dread illithid scourge shortly after delivering a lecture in Boston. He met with his friend Dr. Myron DeLeo, who had been secretly transformed into an illithid thrall by an illithid leech. Although Van Helsing killed DeLeo and escaped, he was soon overwhelmed by more of DeLeo's kindred. Kidnapped and taken to their lair, Van Helsing used magic to escape his bonds and free another prisoner, Pierce Decker. Together they escaped the lair of the illithid along with a book that held their history. They returned to Hotel McCready and then chartered a merchant ship, whereon Van Helsing translated the tome and learned of the history of the Alhoon of Gothic Earth, how it had betrayed its kind, mastered magic, and had biomanced the creation of the Illithid Drone and Illithid Leech.

As Van Helsing came out of his trance, he found that Pierce Dekker had changed into an Illithid Drone and killed the sailors of the ship. After a harrowing encounter, Van Helsing killed Pierce and escaped, spreading the lore to monster hunters all over Gothic Earth.
