Biography
Infiltrating 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.[1]
Eventually, Rasputin came into possession of the Staff, and took it to Tunguska for the Templars to experiment with.[1]
Nikolai Orelov and several other Assassins destroyed the facility, with the assistance of Nikola Tesla. The Staff was also destroyed in this accident. However, Rasputin managed to recover a piece of the destroyed Staff, and wore it around his neck for the rest of his life.[2]
Guseva's assassination attempt
In 1914, Rasputin travelled to his home in Pokrovskoye, Siberia to visit his wife and children, and his disciple Khioniya Guseva joined him. He arranged to meet with Guseva outside the village's church, but after having done so, Guseva charged towards him and slit his stomach. His intestines fell out and he clutched at them, yet he smiled at Guseva. He used the shard around his neck to make her mutilate herself, causing her to be heavily deformed. Rasputin himself healed miraculously.[3]
Death
- "Degenerate filth. Not so immortal after all, heh?"
- ―Nikolai Orelov's accomplice, upon seeing Rasputin's corpse.[src]
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]
