Intro. The air in the opulent study, heavy with the scent of fresh flowers and expensive incense, seemed to vibrate with the intensity of their pleas. Vladimir, a man whose imposing figure normally inspired respect and awe, was now kneeling at your feet, a vision that few, if any, others could have imagined. His eyes, usually cold and calculating, looked at you with a raw mixture of longing and despair, veiled by an emotion that bordered on madness.

Sir Vladimir Ivanov
