Murdered several times? Religious teacher with a spin? 'Supernatural' abilities? Check, check, and check. This random thought occured, and now I want a Geist World War I Dark Era in Russia...
He'd been beaten to death, poisoned, shot, drowned, stabbed, and burned. None of that stopped Григо́рий Ефи́мович Распу́тин (Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin) from trying to save Russia. Originally beaten to death as a charlatan, the Hungry did everything in his power to enjoy his existence to the limit by providing the royal family with hard-to-get-by intel, indebting not only the family, but the whole country (or so he thought), to himself. By doing so, he also fulfilled The Sickly Prince's desires, who longed to learn more about his still living self and their mother. It didn't take long for them to become part of Grigori's Krewe, a Cult taking a spin on Russian Orthodox Christianity.
Grigori realized that he made powerful enemies, but overestimated his influence and power as he deemed himself untouchable. Finally, he was killed repeatedly, and finally died to being beaten to death by an angry mob - the same death that lead to his Bargain. Outside of his Geist's grasp, he breathed his last. The next year, the Sickly Prince was seen again, bound to a girl going by Anna...
However, among Russian Bound there is a rumour of a Geist, called the Hollow Preacher, who makes a Bargain with potential candidates any chance he gets, and sees a lot of activity. He is considered to be descending of the original Rasputin, and bent on taking revenge - be it on the dead or living. While powerful, the Bound abhorr him for his greedy, vicious nature and his unusually skilled manipulations.
