Your first mission in The Thaumaturge has you traveling to a remote village to find a healer who can help you with your ailment. When you do find him, it's the famous Russian holy man himself, so should you trust Rasputin in The Thaumaturge?

Grigori Rasputin is a divisive figure in Russian history, seen by some as a sinister and scandalous charlatan, but by others as a mystical holy man and gifted lay healer. In The Thaumaturge you play as a character who dabbles in magic, seemingly taming demons to do his bidding. This puts any dealings with Rasputin on a seemingly uneasy footing. Can Rasputin be trusted?

You first meet Rasputin in the village inn. You tell him that you are a thaumaturge and after some verbal sparring he will ask you to prove it. Once you do so, you will be given a dialogue stating that Rasputin will remember this. But you don’t have to worry about that. No matter how your relationship with Rasputin develops, he will be there to help you when needed.
