Magnificent Horatio

Magnificent Horatio is a quest in .

Journal
"A wandering magician called Magnificent Horatio was one of Wilkins' chief suspects. He is known for his grudge against the Mob and owns a pair of swords that he uses in his performances. I'm told he can be found in the room numbered 203 at the Essex Hotel.

Horatio seems like he is hiding something... I better investigate his room for a potential clue.

Horatio denies that he is the Stabber of Arkham, and claims his grudge is not against Waxface's brigand, but against the mob boss himself because of the brutal killing of Horatio's assistant. Interestingly, he also claims to know something about Julian's murder and offered to share information with me if I can find a way inside the Clubhouse. I can check the perimeter of the Mob's fortress to find an alternate entrance...

I discovered a potential entrance to the Blackened Club. The boiler room. As expected it is heavily guarded by the Mob. Time to inform Horatio."
