Enter...the Bogatyr!
Kirbetei Groshenko was the youngest son of a Russian noble family, and stood to inherit little. He chose to take up the path of the Bogatyr, a wandering knight errant and righter of wrongs. His journeys took him all over Europe, where he battled evil both natural and supernatural.
He eventually reached America and became friends with the philanthropist/adventurer Nick Steele. Under the codename Bogatyr, Kirbetei served as a member of Team Steele and had even more amazing adventures during and after WWII.
But as rumblings of a "red menace" began to infiltrate Amaerican society, the American government demanded that the Bogatyr be removed from Team Steele. Nick refused, but found that Kirbetei had left rather than cause his friend any further trouble.
The Bogatyr had vanished without a trace. Some said he had gone to the Thrice-Tenth Kingdom, the mystical realm that only the greatest of heroes can find their way to.
Shortly after the Rikti Invasion, an aging Russian with a stout axe began hunting the monsters and mystical malcontents of Paragon City. He says he is the Bogatyr, and that he has left his "retirement" in the Thrice-Tenth Kingdom to find a successor.
But if he truly was Kirbetei Groshenko, he would have to be over a hundred years old. And the heroes who reach the Thrice-Tenth Kingdom have to stay there and train until the appointed time when they fight in the battle that heralds the end of the world, according to the old legends.
The question is not, "Is he truly the Bogatyr?"
The question is, "Do we really want him to be?"
