Ooooh, these are rather fiendish! I've got about half of them (though one of them was a commonly mis-spelled variant of the researcher in question...but that just might be deliberate to stop it being too easy...
)

Hmmm - drop me an e-mail, Bea and I'll confirm here if there's a spelling mistake in one of them.

I wondered about that, too. The only one I seem to recall who's commonly misspelled is Ictoan, and he's definitely not misspelled in here. (And I'm not saying whether or not he's in here. 
)

Interesting!
That WAS the mis-spelled researcher I had in mind, but maybe he's not that particular clue...
More pondering required.

Just to confirm, I've double-checked the answers and the spelling looks OK. There is one duplicate answer reported.

Sorry, Xarin! This may just not be your sort of puzzle!
I've sent the answers to the Post Editor, so I imagine they'll get published soon
