Archive 81's Kaelego, Baldung & Comet Connection Explained
Netflix’s sci-fi horror series Archive 81 has plenty of twists and turns, including a complex connection between the ancient entity Kaelego, the Baldung coven of witches, and the comet known as Kharon. The story is loosely based on the horror podcast of the same name and portrayed with Archive 81's excellent cast of characters.
