[[Image:Vaneko.gif|frame]]Ruthven Vaneko is the latest in a long line of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania Romanian] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyar nobility], made rich through the mining of the sulfer that lays under his lands. Though he's a gracious enough host, there's no denying that Vaneko is a little... off. His parents were killed when he was only 10 (in circumstances that he has refused to reveal) and this has triggered in the man an unrelenting obsession with bringing them back to life, as well as a grim fascination with his own death. There is no doubt in Vaneko's mind that his parents' ressurection is possible; it's simply a matter of finding a skilled enough scientist. | [[Image:Vaneko.gif|frame]]Ruthven Vaneko is the latest in a long line of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania Romanian] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyar nobility], made rich through the mining of the sulfer that lays under his lands.

| β | If there's a bright side to Vaneko's | + | If there's a bright side to the tragedy Vaneko's been through, it's that his loss has made him feel a keen kinship with orphaned youth. He takes local orphans into his care and raises them as his own. Up until recently he had five (Didu, Baretta, Janos, Timaeus and Catalina), but Janos was killed by the... thing... Vaneko keeps in his basement. Vaneko's eulogy for the boy was short: "He was a good soldier. He honored me. But the work goes on." |
The "work" that Vaneko spoke of seems to be the punishment of criminals, if the workers in his mines and fields are anything to judge by. If so, he's chosen some interesting partners for the task; the first scientist he hired to resurrect his parents was the villainous [[The Thule Society|Thule Society]] leader, [[Joseph Dippel|Doctor Joseph Dippel]] and, though he's since pinned his hopes for the task on the Indian scientist, [[Vasuki]], Dippel's diary suggests that Vaneko is an old friend of the ruthless Soviet leader, [[Joseph Stalin]]. | The "work" that Vaneko spoke of seems to be the punishment of criminals, if the workers in his mines and fields are anything to judge by.
