feel it crawl
through your belly
feel it devour
as it fades
your stomach lining
Run while you can

Valentin Danilenko


From an early age, Valentin felt neglect, neglect from a mother among the Russian party who sold her son, out of wedlock, to people who dealt with problems like that.

From there he was bought by a member of the Politburo for perverse sexual and physical acts. Locked in a basement for three years, Valentin finally escaped at eight, fleeing his ‘protector’. Chased by men he wound deeper into the city trying to evade them. He managed to elude them, seeking refuge in the house that would become the Izbushka.

He and others met with the strange mystic, Sergei there and learnt the mysteries

Valentin’s determination to stay with his new family drove him to bring other forlorn children to the fold, saving those from the street offering food and shelter to the needy. Sergei neglected Valentin when it came time for him to send his enlightened children to the Kotelnicheskaya, something Valentin wanted to be part of so badly, but he was excluded. Then Sergei hid himself, and Valentin’s family failed once more. Desperate for money with the increase of children in the Izbushka he sought government aid, found it and continued working the Izbushka, also trying to gain Sergei’s attention, much for himself as well as for the need of his benefactor, but to no avail.

Valentin grew callous and fanatical, bending those in the Izbushka to his rigid doctrine taken from Sergei, a doctrine heavily against Western influence. As his anger and frustration grew he beat those wastrels of the new Russia into submission and death, to appease that hatred.

A dangerous man who uses children to carry out his will and to vent his frustration upon. Valentin is a driven organiser whose newly found aggression has led to an inspiration of those attracted to him. Strong to the idea of family, he will murder any who get in the way of his children carrying his message.

Dressed in a white-sleeved black robe whilst at the Izbushka… a heavy trenchcoat, shirt and jeans whilst in any other place. His youthful face belies his true age, and though attractive, he constantly sneers.

GAMEMASTERING HINTS: Sneer at everyone you meet. You are the only saviour for the youth, and no one can tell you how to do it. Speak little to those who are not your children but when you do chide them.
