It was a world full of myth, mystery, and mysticism at the turn of the century and into this world stepped a fascinating wizard, Rasputin.

Rasputin claimed to see the future and possess the power to heal. He was a god of hypnosis and mesmerism and a master of trickery and deception that caused fits of spiritual excitement among his followers, but was he a mystic or a con man?

Rasputin's eyes stare at us across the generations in this expose of a complex man. He held a god-like power over his female followers and mesmerized Tsar Nicholas II, the last monarch of Russia which many say eventually led to the downfall of the last Russian dynasty.

Was he ultimately assassinated for knowing too much?

This is the story of the man, his magical ability to control others, and his deviant nature.
