Hastur, also known as the Yellow King, is a fictional cosmic entity that first appeared in Ambrose Bierce's short story Haïta the Shepherd (1893) and was later expanded on by Robert W. Chambers, H.P. Lovecraft and August Derleth. He could be considered as the unseen antagonist of Season 1.

"Have you seen the Yellow Sign?"

Royal cypher of Hildred Castaigne, King and Emperor of America. Designed by me, and inspired by Robert W. Chambers’ “The King in Yellow.” I recommend a dark black or gray background for this art.

"...the King in Yellow had opened his tattered mantle and there was only God to cry to now."

"...my mind will bear for ever the memory of the Pallid Mask."

He has many reasons to be very confident. He is Hastur!

The Yellow Sign is a symbol first mentioned in Robert W. Chambers' book of horror short stories The King in Yellow (1895). The stories mention the play The King in Yellow, a forbidden work which induces despair and madness in those who read it.. H. P. Lovecraft and many of his imitators were great admirers of Chambers' book and incorporated many of his characters and symbols into their own works. In the latter-day Cthulhu Mythos, the Yellow Sign is the sign of The Great Old One, Hastur, and is used by members of his cult to identify one another.

"Songs that the Hyades shall sing/Where flap the tatters of the King/Must die unheard in/Dim Carcosa." To know his is to go mad, and Mr. Chambers' macabre creation had admirers as grand as Lovecraft, who wrote what might be termed fan references into his stories. Here is the King in all his turn-of-the-century glory. Modified from a public domain original in the NYPL.

Whatever, king. Hastur's gonna hast.

"I pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth—a world which now trembles before the King in Yellow." Chambers, Robert W.. The King in Yellow

My interpretation of Robert W. Chambers' "Yellow Sign," as if rendered in black onyx and gold: "...inside lay a clasp of black onyx, on which was inlaid a curious symbol or letter in gold. It was neither Arabic nor Chinese, nor, as I found afterwards, did it belong to any human script."
