Stepping out of the forrest around the New Guard's base one afternoon, Rasputan the Younger announced his presence with a complext light display. Then he asked to be admitted. Goriy was impressed by his ability and his bravado and invited the young man in. After a background check turned up less than nothing, the heroic wizard of Russia Gyeroy Vedun was asked to come and interview this Rasputan. The two wizards hit it off and after a few days of talk, Goriy welcomed Rasputan to the team. He has served them well ever since. He knows the mystic community pretty well these days and is open about his past, but few have pressed him for it. A man that could easily have ended up a travelling thief in another life, Rasputan is a bit of a flake, enjoys a good scrap and loves being mysterious and enigmatic. He's something of a carouser too. He and War Hammer get along fine. He has been flirting with Crimson Angel for the better part of a year now. He likes a good time and to him a good time includes battling supervillains. Underneath all this is a heroic man willing to die for his beliefs and his country. He gets along very well with the other famous magician in Russia, Gyeroy Vedun. Though he does find it hard to believe that he is considered the <i>second</i> most powerful wizard. "By the beards of my ancestors, you are a persistant little man. Begone." A mage of no small water and great versitility, he has a few minor artifacts that allow him to fly and protect him from harm. His staff is unbreakable. He has studied Bojutsu and is an accomplished street fighter aswell. If he's too tough, drop the spell pool to 50 or 60 points. If you want more power to him, then give him a few abilities outside the VPP that he can use anytime. A handsome, but roguish looking man seemingly in his youth (he admits to being older than he appears). He has dark, wavy brown hair and steely black eyes. He constantly wears robes and cloaks, acting the part. He carries a brass tipped staff. His attire changes colors and designs to suit his moods but are universally flamboyant.

No, not that Rasputan. Not really.
