Casey was an Irish doorman at the Palace Theatre in London under Henry Gordon Jago.
Biography[]
In 1889, Jago referred to Casey as being his "factotum".
While in the basement one night, Casey saw a skull-like apparition. He reported this to Jago and the two went looking for the cause, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
When Teresa Hart was found on the premises, Casey tried to make her leave, but she left of her own accord, prompted through fear of Li H'sen Chang, whose face she saw on a poster. Jago explained to Casey that the recent strange goings- on were being investigated by him and an amateur detective.
Casey died of fright after seeing Magnus Greel's face. While performing on stage, Chang opened his Cabinet of Death and Casey's body fell out onto the stage — causing the audience to scream in horror.
Jago described him as "a good fellow" but "about as sharp as the corners of a round table". (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang)
A showgirl named Matilda Vane had a brief sexual relationship with Casey, the latter Jago described as being "as ancient as Methuselah." (AUDIO: The Night of 1000 Stars)
