It came to my thinking that Rasputin is a rather wanked figure in popular history: he's portrayed as some nearly-invincible titan, a dark monk and magician with mind-control and healing powers or something.
However, even if inaccurate, this depiction is pretty damn awesome.
So, you challenge, fellow AHers, is to make Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin as powerful and legendary as the very limits of plausibility will allow. Maybe make him the new leader of Russia when the Czar abdicates! Conqueror of the Far East! Survivor of as many assassination attempts as you can think of! Martial artist extraordinaire!
Whatever. The intent is to go wild with what is possibly recent history's most romantic and wild character.
Ra-ra-Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on...
