Radial quantization of stationary, spherically symmetric black holes in four dimensional N = 2 supergravity yields supersymmetric spinning particle models in quaternionic Kaehler manifolds via the c-map. This talk will present the BRST detour quantization of such models. The result is gauge invariant field theories of special quaternionic vector bundles which underly and generalize the quaternionic version of Dolbeault cohomology discovered by Baston.
