The squire of Cloots Coombe was an agent of Rechauffe. He was working for Mr Harris and had the Reverend Gosforth in his confidence. He was working on a project that was ostensibly to clone the sterile residents of the village, but was in actuality an attempt to create an army of super soldiers. The experiments failed, but they accidentally created a creature living under the town well that fed on life energy. He used the creature to kill people who got in the way of his plans, like the protester Jenny. When Josh Townsend lit the Rechauffe building on fire, the underground tunnel connecting it to the well was filled with fire, killing both the creature and the squire. (AUDIO: Comeback)
