Rosemary is a woman who was stopped by John Dee when he demanded a lift to Mayhew.

History[]

Around April 1st, 1989, Rosemary was driving past the Arkham Asylum. She was stopped by a naked escaped prisoner who demanded she drive him to Mayhew, where he wanted to retrieve his Materioptikon. He threatened her with a gun, and although Rosemary tried snapping back, lying that her husband was a mafia hitman, she then recoiled and begged him not to kill her.

During the ride the two started talking, and Rosemary - be it out of kindness, fear, or Stockholm syndrome, seemed to develop some sympathy with Dee. She gave him her husband's coat, offered him a sandwich, and started asking about his ordeals. Dee spoke of the inhumane conditions at the asylum, the rejection that he experienced from the society, his mother in particular, and a newly-found freedom that he experienced after her death, and his experiments with the power of the Materioptikon.

She in turn confided that she had two little daughters, whom she would probably chastise, too, if they decided to choose a criminal career, and even admitted that she had lied about her husband. who was actually a school teacher.

After arriving at a warehouse in Mayhew, the two seemed to part on good terms, with Dee thanking Rosemary for the ride. Then he shot her in cold blood, and went on to retrieve the ruby.[1]
