👉 Mentor Macabre is an enigmatic and sinister figure who serves as a guide for the young characters of Edgar Allan Poe's stories, particularly in "The Gold Bug" and "The Purge," often providing cryptic advice that adds to their sense of dread and guides them towards unsettling conclusions. His presence exudes a haunting authority that blurs the line between mentor and manipulator, making him both an indispensable figure and a malevolent one.
