Allegro Rasputin

From MIwiki

Allegro Rasputin or Reverend Rasputin is an undead priest at the First Church of LeChuck. His first name, Allegro, is the Italian for cheerful. It is also used in music to refer to a quick and lively tempo. Rasputin was a Russian monk who was renowned for his mystic and occult practices.

While alive, Allegro was a sailor on a ship called The Weeping Iguana. While out on sea, his ship was attacked by LeChuck's ghost ship and Allegro was murdered by LeChuck and his flaming ghost sword. Although, at first, Allegro was bitter about becoming a ghost he later began to admire LeChuck for his powers and skills. He eventually ended up worshipping LeChuck as a god and this inspired him to build the First Church of LeChuck.

Allegro considers his religion similar to most others, except with more fire, screaming and pointy sticks. He also says that the evil of his religion is the 'Anti-LeChuck' or He-Whose-Name-Must-Not-Be-Spoken (Guybrush Threepwood) who has the number 1138 tattooed on his head. This is a reference to George Lucas' first movie THX 1138.

He is voiced by Keith Szarabajka.
