Description
Mikhail, nicknamed Misha, entered the world as the son of a human prostitute, enduring abuse under her care and compelled to don girls’ attire for client entertainment. His mother’s murder by a vampire he once believed had granted her happiness cemented his reverence for vampires. After her death, he found refuge with the Catholic Church, crossing paths with Roland Fortis, a Chasseur whose unexpected kindness offered fleeting solace. His fragile stability shattered when associates of Doctor Moreau—a scientist experimenting on humans to create vampires—abducted him. Designated test subject No. 71, he suffered torturous procedures alongside Vanitas (No. 69), forging a brotherly bond despite their lack of blood ties.
During captivity, injections of the Vampire of the Blue Moon’s blood granted the boys enhanced abilities at the cost of bodily decay. Liberated by the Vampire himself, Mikhail clung to their savior, dubbing him “Father.” The trio journeyed together, absorbing lessons on malnomen, astermite, and the Book of Vanitas. As their bodies deteriorated, the Vampire proposed stabilizing them through Marks of Possession, binding them as Kin. Mikhail eagerly accepted; Vanitas’s rejection ignited hostilities, culminating in the Vampire’s death at Vanitas’s hand—a tragedy Mikhail survived due to the Teacher’s intervention.
Mikhail’s pale complexion and round blue eyes mirror Vanitas’s gaze, while a prosthetic left arm from the Teacher replaces his lost limb. The Mark of Possession lingers on his shoulder. His demeanor exudes youthful exuberance laced with calculated cunning, prioritizing ambitions over others’ well-being. Though he abhors suffering and chill, craving warmth and compassion, trauma-twisted ethics drive his actions. Fixated on reuniting with Vanitas and resurrecting the Vampire, he believes their fractured kinship can be mended.
He wields a second Book of Vanitas to manipulate formulas and commands automatons through unexplained means. These powers fuel schemes like brainwashing Dominique de Sade to force Noé Archiviste into drinking Vanitas’s blood—a ploy to expose buried truths and provoke confrontation. His machinations stem from nostalgia for the fleeting harmony shared with Vanitas and the Vampire, justifying peril to allies and enemies alike.
Guided by the Teacher’s assurance of resurrection, Mikhail disrupts Vanitas’s life, severing bonds like that with Jeanne. Fleeting empathy surfaces, such as comforting Dominique during captivity, yet these glimpses pale against his relentless pursuit of reconstructing his shattered family.
