Rasputin is a character in the Devil Summoner series.

Profile

Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin is based off of the real-life mystic of the same name who held immense influence over the Russian Empress Alexandra, as he claimed to be able to soothe her son Alexei's hemophilia. In December 1916, Rasputin was killed by a group of nobles who opposed his influence over the Russian crown.

Despite Rasputin's death, a man using Rasputin's identity is working for Munakata at the time of Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army's events.[2]

Manual Descriptions
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army

A charismatic priest thought dead after multiple assassination attempts in 1916, the Mad Monk has surfaced alive and well in the Capital. His services as a Dark Summoner are available to the highest bidder; question is, who's he really working for? Rather than using tubes like Raidou, Rasputin's method of summoning involves conjuring demons from his collection of matryoshkas, or Russian nesting dolls.

He worked as a spy for Munakata, doing surveillance and the occasional assassination. He seems unpredictable, but there's a definite method to his madness.
