Everett Judgment Pendergast, or "Uncle Everett" was a distant relative of Aloysius Pendergast. He was a descendant of Erasmus Pendergast, Aloysius's great-grand-uncle and second cousin to Pendergast's father Linnaeus. Everett went to Dufour's home and returned with Diogenes, but the elder Pendergast's face was pale and bloodied and his speech was slurred. He told the family in a letter that he had appeased Dufour, but he had to go back and rid the world of his abomination. Taking a revolver, he left the house and was never seen again.
