Rasputin (Don Bluth)

Rasputin is the main villain of the animated film Anastasia and is based loosely on the real-life psychic Rasputin: however in the film he is depicted as a far more malevolent being of black magic than the real-life Rasputin, though the two share the common title of "Mad Monk". Rasputin plans on destroying the Russian royalty and sparks a revolution in which many of the royal house are killed yet falls victim to his own madness when he falls through some thin ice in an attempt to murder the tsar's youngest daughter - seemingly drowning himself.

However years later Rasputin revives, having made a pact with demonic forces and now existing as a Lich (a type of undead creature with magical powers). Driven by a desire for revenge, he wishes to finish off what he started before he rests in peace by killing Anastasia. Putting his demonic minions to work on finding and destroying her but failing, he is accompanied throughout the film by his reluctant minion Bartok - who is an albino bat who constantly tries to sway Rasputin away from his obsession but is largely ignored until Bartok eventually gives up.

Rasputin finally grows tired of his magic constantly failing and uses his power to confront Anastasia personally - only to be killed in the resulting battle when he loses his amulet and Anastasia shatters it underfoot, which in turn destroys the magic keeping Rasputin alive and his body is reduced to dust while his soul is, presumably, dragged back to Hell by demons.thumb|500px|right
