Dmitri Khitrovo

Background
Dmitri was born in France, some five hundred years ago. He has seen many wars, births, deaths, changed his name and identity more times than he can remember, and lived many very different lives. But it seems his latest life, has given him a role he never thought he’d take on- Guardian. You see, Dmitri once lived his life for the carnage and destruction of the world, letting his blood lust over take him. He was selfish and power hungry. When he was living in Russia, in the early 1900’s, he lied, cheated, and killed his way to the top of the Russian command, soon earning himself a position as Commander of the Tsar’s personal guard. He was close to the royal family now, he could do whatever he wanted. But that all came to a crashing end, when the imperial family was attacked in 1918. The guards could not hold off all the mobs, and soon were all dead. Dmitri watched from the shadows; he could afford for people to find out that he could not die. Women ran from their attackers, children screamed, and the household begged for their lives, but the mobs gave no mercy. The imperial household was soon all dead. Dmitri watched as the embers from the burned mansion, flickered with the chilling, night wind. People that he actually begun to see as almost family, were all gone now. Just as he was about to leave, Dmitri heard a faint cry. He followed it, until it led him to what looked to be, a small form, under the many charred remains of the mansion. Dmitri frantically dug out the body, ''someone had survived? ''Someone had, in fact. Anastasia, the youngest Grand Duchess, was barely clinging on to life, but she was still alive. Dmitri saw no other option, and prayed that he wouldn’t regret what he was about to do, but he gave the young Duchess the bite that would save her life, gave her immortality which meant she would never be this close to death again, he was her only hope- and so, he made her a vampire.

Personality
Dmitri is extremely intelligent. He has also become very cultured over the years and has become very passionate about art. He is somewhat secretive about his past and does voluntarily share information about himself with anyone beside Anastasia, but even then, she doesn’t know about all of his past. Also, every person that Dmitri has ever loved, he has loved from afar, because of his dark past.
