Think Russian mafioso, but vampiric. General head of all underworld underground activity in Russia and Scandinavia. Ancient, violent, but overall, an alright sort of chap.
Rothen is required to maintain a cold and aloof manner in order to project the authority that his position demands. His principles on loyalty and morality are unshakable, however warped his take on these qualities may be. His has a small and tight knit group of friends and co-workers, the majority of whom he has known for half a millennia. Mr.Ryzhkov is the sort of person one tends to fear, respect and hate all in one go upon the moment of meeting him. He is ruthless and dangerous to his numerous enemies, but a loving and valued companion to his few friends.
Rothen never travels unarmed, and rarely ventures out in his hometown alone, despite his reputation. Aside from his ever changing and well stocked arsenal, his vampiric powers range from heightened senses, strength and speed to the weak ability to read other's minds and guard his own. Although a formidable enemy, he is far from undefeated.
Very few people know Rothen's exact age, but it is general knowledge that he was born human into this world around 700 years ago. He claims to have always lived in Russia, and it is rumored that the city of Moscow, which he still inhabits today, was where he was originally born. Coming from a poor and unknown family, Rothen was swept into the human blood trade as a young boy, serving a life of servitude and humility to ancient and powerful vampires until his twenty third year. It is not known how Rothen was brought into the blood, but many say he killed his former master for it. Rothen gradually worked his way up the ranks of vampiric society to the rank and level he hold now, and which he will defend at all costs.
