Carl Lynwood Sargent (1952-2018) was the real-life 1970s-era Doctor Peter Venkman, complete with the "parapsychology" Ph.D., except British. Like Venkman he got BTFOed from that profession; unlike Venkman, he tried his hand at real fantasy instead. Sargent did better at that.
Credits include co-writing Gazetteer 13, The Shadow Elves; Iuz the METALEvil for Greyhawk; Night Below for Greyhawk but barely abstracted away. He was going to do a supplement for The Great Kingdom in Greyhawk too but TSR slipped on a pile of Lorraine Williams' own turds before that could happen. This material ended up in Dragon #204, 206, 208.
Sargent then disappeared for the next two decades, apparently into Nottinghamshire in the UK. He died 12 September 2018.
Sargent's D&D work features psionics, madness, and underworld elves what ain't drow. In the annals of D&D skub, Carl Sargent's greatest effect - we cannot quite say "contribution" - was upon Second-Edition Greyhawk in From The Ashes.
