Rasputon descends from the Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin, inheriting his ancestor’s mysticism and talent for manipulation. He wields telepathic powers to influence world leaders and orchestrate events toward his singular objective: claiming the lost Romanov gold concealed within Texas’s Bank of Liberty.

To secure the treasure, Rasputon exploits the discipline of Goemon Ishikawa XIII, manipulating him through direct physical control—often symbolized by inserting fingers into Goemon’s facial orifices. This quest pits him against Lupin III’s crew and the New York Mafia, both rival claimants to the gold.

Rasputon demonstrates strategic resourcefulness by seizing the gold from Lupin using a massive aircraft for transport to Siberia, where he eliminates pursuing Mafia forces. His confrontation with Lupin concludes briefly without significant escalation, though Lupin ultimately reclaims the prize. Rasputon’s methods include a distinct tactic of inserting fingers into adversaries' mouths or nostrils for physical domination or assault.
