Rasputin

Rasputin, the hedonistic and near-immortal master manipulator of pre-revolution Russia, is in fact immortal. After faking his death in 1916 after a series of attacks, he spent his time subtly influencing the forces that controlled Russia. This century, he works with the super-rich oligarchs of the new Russian capitalism, steering the nation toward … a goal known only to Rasputin. Only a few even suspect his existence, and none know his true identity.
Rasputin is a Rakshasas, a demon of Indian legend who came to Russia during the 16th century. Unlike others of his kind, he isn’t completely evil. Everything he has done in Russia, including murders and manipulation, he has done to build a society capable of resisting his brethren to the south. His plans have not panned out as well as he had hoped, due in large part to the fact that he overestimated the predictability of the Russian people. He remains optimistic that his plans will succeed and continues his campaign against his evil kinsmen.
