Father Grigori Rasputin had a very specific way of shepherding his flock. It was intense and mystical, even passionate.

During this time he had gotten especially close to the Royal family of Russia, drawing attention of the wrong sorts. Lies and exaggerated truths were spread about him, and his lustful tendencies didn't help clear his name.
