In short, an old New England inbred family (and sharing blood with the Mythos monsters, too

, hence physical disfigurations of a smaller or "what is that!?!" nature) serving their dark masters, appearing in Lovecraft's
The Dunwich Horror.
And a family of the exact same description as a above for
Deadlands,
And, yes, the Gravenors are quite a bit Whateley-esque. Though, they aren't sorcerers or that dignified (in an off-putting way), the still fill the spot of 'inbred old family serving its monstrous masters' spot.
