Grigori Rasputin (Hellboy)
Appearance
Grigori Rasputin is the main villain in the comic book series Hellboy, appearing often as a spirit that takes human form. Karel Roden plays the main 'evil' character Grigori Rasputin in the 2004 film version. He's seen working with the Nazis in the film and demonstrates great occult abilities linked with the underworld. He is depicted as being in a sense immortal, as every time he dies, he ressurects with a part of his god within his body. The thematics of this are said to have originated upon stories of his numerous and evasive near-death experiences as a child preaching the word of god.
