Grigori Rasputin

Father Grigori Rasputin (1869-1916) is a religious figure who claims to have powers from God himself. He treated Tsarevich Alexei. He is heavily favored by Czar Nicholas II and Alexandra of Hesse so much that even his most influential advisors such as Peter Stolypin could not convince the Czar to have him removed. In 1914, a woman named Khionya Guseva made an attempt on his life, but failed. Later that year, another attempt is made on him, but that also fails. It's not until 1916, that an attempt is successful. At first it seems to go wrong as a bottle of wine that has been poisoned by Felix Yusupov does not work. Felix leaves Rasputin and comes back with a gun and shoots him. That also fails and Rasputin gets back up and attempts to escape. He makes it outside followed by all the assassins. Rasputin makes one final stand, but is finally killed when he is shot in the head.
