Good deal! This will definitely assist my project to create "Ghouls of the Miskatonic" encounter cards.

So Oliver Grayson was +1 Luck, +1 Speed, and he upset the delicate ally-stat balance. Now that there's a second ally in the second book of three, I almost guarantee that there will be three allies, and they will cover the six stats.

Since I've already developed auxiliary ally cards in preparation for the other books, I'm interested to see who the official ones will be.

"Ashcan" Pete will take that off your hands when you're done with it.
Charlie Kane would befriend a strangled cat if given the chance.
Finn Edwards has very deep pockets.
Hank Samson does not care that you've mastered time travel.
Lily Chen can punch a hue.
Lola Hayes is the world's best Egyptologist.
Mark Harrigan is very good at hedge mazes.
Michael McGlen has never experienced an earthquake.
Minh Thi Phan makes group hugs empowering.
Patrice Hathaway plays songs you can't get out of your head.
Tommy Muldoon is most qualified to be deputy, yet for some reason nobody want him to be.
Tony Morgan sells meat out of the back of his van.
Ursula Downs can shop at an empty store.
Wendy Adams always wins at hide and seek.
William Yorick has a Bachelor's in Cryptozoology—no wonder he can't find work.
Wilson Richards will paint over anything for a dollar.
Zoey Samaras can torch a fire vampire.

Good call about the different stats.  My guess for stats/allies would be:

Book 2- Alexander Templeton +1 Will +1 Lore

Book 3- Gabriel Stone +1 Sneak +1 Fight

Judging from the description, I'm feeling pretty strongly that Templeton is going to be the book 2 ally.  Minnie Klein and Blind Rufus might make interesting allies, as well, but come on, Stone had like 30 toughness of monster trophies at the end of book one.

I came up with the following:

Minnie Klien
+1 Movement, +1 Will
Put three tokens on Minnie. Whenever another investigator gains one or more clues, you may remove a token from Minnie. That investigator receives an extra clue.

Gabriel Stone
+1 Fight +1 Sneak
Search the Common Item deck for Food, Whisky, and Research Materials and take those cards.

Alexander Templeton
+1 Focus +1 Lore
Search the Common and Unique Item decks for the first Tomes you find. Keep one and discard the other. (or something like this)

 

Picked out great images for Klien and Stone, but have about 15 options for Templeton.
