Personality: Though formally titled as "Master Vladimir Dmitrievich Alexandrov, first heir of Baron Alexandrov", he prefers his identity of "The Great Bazhooli", Russian Impalement Artist and legendary performer of the Russian Imperial Circus, chief member of the Bazhooli Sem'ya.
What can be said about The Great Bazhooli that his name cannot tell you? He is vivacious, full of vigor, and histrionic to the extreme. He exists seemingly to suck every last drop out of life with keen but not foolish optimism. Everything he cares about, he sees to with the passion of an artist. It doesn't help that he is a shameless showoff with great pride in himself, his family, and his circus. His persona as a showman isn't really a persona - this is who he is. Though outside of performing, he is a little quieter. A little. This goes both ways. He feels most everything as strongly as one can, be it joy or sorrow. He feels deeply and completely, but can recover from this quickly when needed. While this can be mercurial at times, he does not forget a slight (even if it appears that he does), nor fail to remember a favor given.
Of course, his life isn't all fried borscht and hurled knives. His people are the keepers of many Old Russian arts, the Training that sits as the regional equivalent to that supported by the Graveolase. He is often called upon to look into Soulless threats along the Russian Steppes, great cities, vast forests and mountains of the Empire. It is something he takes seriously. Vladimir has a stopping point to his revelry. When the worst of events threaten to happen, it reveals a man driven to do whatever is necessary to protect that which he holds dear. The skills learned over a lifetime of Impalement Arts and Rusyn Training assist greatly with this endeavor.
