Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin (Russian: Григорий Ефимович Распутин) (22 January 1869 - 29 December 1916) was a Russian mystic living during the rule of Tsar Nicholas II, and a member of the Templar Order.[1]
Biography
Becoming close to the Royal house
After Nicholas' son Alexei became sick, he was advised by a family friend to ask for the help of Rasputin. Rasputin agreed to do so, knowing that Nicholas had a Piece of Eden, the Staff. After successfully 'healing' Alexei, he became a trusted friend, even giving advice on the decisions the royal family made.
Eventually, Rasputin came into possession of the Staff and took it to Tunguska for the Templars to experiment with.[1]
After the Assassin Nikolai Orelov and Nikola Tesla caused the Tunguska explosion and destroyed the Staff, Rasputin was able to get a hold of a splinter from the Staff, which he would from then on wear as a necklace.[2]
Death
Rasputin was assassinated by Assassins on 29 December 1916.[1]
In 1917, Rasputin was dug up by Nikolai Orelov and two accomplices after the former found out about the splinter from the Staff being in Rasputin's possession. Orelov ripped the necklace from the corpse and told his accomplices to burn the body.[2]
