| Vladimir, known as Vlad to his
friends, is one of the more renowned conmen in the streets of St. Petersburg,
alongside Dimitri. As a former member of the Russian Imperial Court, cast
off during the Russian Revolution, he longs to return to a life of wealth
and dignity. Vlad’s dream is no longer so distant when he hears about the
rumor that the Empress would pay a large sum of money to those who could
find Anastasia - the last remaining survivor of the Romanov family. With
the arrival of Anya seeking a trip to Paris to find her family, he sees
this as the perfect opportunity to finally escape from his role as a conman
- by training her in the royal ways of a princess in attempt to deceive
the Empress into thinking they have found her grand-daughter.
Vlad’s his charming manners, and good-natured personality make him the
father-figure of the parents the Anya and Dimitri were deprived of during
their childhood. A romantic at heart, he is the first to acknowledge the
attraction between Anya and Dimitri. |
