The Russian Nobleman

• An older man of rank, some kind of Russian noble, travelling in the salon car on the night of 4 January 1893
• Speaks Russian and upper-class French. Travels with a young wife and a small entourage
• The party floated a theory that the cult’s stolen book might tie back to “the Russians,” but this is pure speculation at the table, not evidence
• No name, no confirmed connection to Menkaph or the veil yet. A loose thread on the train
