Gender: Male
Apparent Age: Vague 20s.
Personality
Harewell has been isolated for a long span of time and as a result, is poorly socialized even for a vampire. He's spent the past sixty odd years using his telepathy to spy on the townspeople (and inciting them into spates of unwholesome activity), so he's been able to keep up with the current trends well enough, but he's unhappy about missing out on the hands-on part of spreading chaos and horror. He was a pretty sick person even before his transformation, and the solitary confinement hasn't helped.
All those years of spying have given him a keen insight into the human mind, and he loves manipulating people into performing dreadful acts (mostly murder, god does he fucking love murder) upon each other almost as much as he loves to commit said acts himself.
He's far too confident in his powers, and tends to ignore the possibility of any danger that he can't see coming. This is probably going to get him killed one day. He'll claim that his fear of further boredom outweighs his fear of dying, but that's a lie. When the chips are down, he'll do anything to avoid a true death.
Family: While he is from a magus line, it's not particularly top quality and he didn't inherit the crest before dying. A great niece or nephew likely has it by now.
Skillz yo: He has a limited mind reading/suggestion ability that works by oozing into the subconscious and enhancing or suppressing existing impulses. It's easier to ignore if a target knows that their reactions are unnatural, so he tries to keep it subtle.
Aside from that, he's way more physically capable than a regular human, and he can boost that with Reinforcement.
Backstory: A vampire created just before fourth grail war. Harwell was meant to be a minion of his master, but murdered him during a distracting battle and swiped his Servant, Nimue. When Hamlin started clearing the field, he commanded Nimue to seal him underground to avoid the extermination that took down most of his compatriots. He's survived in her prison by using his powers to lure hapless vagrants through the one way seal, and at last managed to store up enough power to slip through it last year.

Personality The fairy tales that Koschei appeared in always concluded with his inevitable defeat. Beyond love, he lusted after women and whenever he kidnapped them, a hero would come to his doorstep, lose, find the trick behind his immortality, and return to finally defeat him. This has been a near constant pattern in Koschei's life and oddly enough, he enjoys the struggle. So much that he continued it over and over again over the course of his life. Of course, the trick for him was to find a way to keep his life without permanently dying, but once he secured it, he could indulge as long as he wanted.
Admittedly, for someone like Koschei who has lived forever, he lusts after women, but he easily grows tired of him. The act of kidnapping them didn't have much value, but being able to create larger-than-life tasks and plan out scenarios revolving around the sole purpose of dicking around with as many people as he possibly can is a lasting entertainment. There are times where he wants to win, of course, and his mission for all these years has simply been to win. This goal is always hindered once someone spills the beans about Koschei's secret for immortality, but nevertheless, the fun has never quite ended.
Koschei is completely void of empathy towards anybody. He lives to fulfill his own goals and own desires and how that may conflict with others doesn't even enter his mind. However, while generally good-spirited, lewd, and certainly overbearing, he can grow serious when someone is genuinely close to truly ending his life. He sees that level of persistence almost as a personal attack to him for trying to end his great fun. While it never has happened before since a hero hasn't pursued him after reuniting with his wife/lover, Koschei can become more vicious and brutal with his tactics to somebody that hounds him down. Conversely, though, he will show rare moments of pity when someone performs a good deed towards him. Not that he wouldn't still be willing to steal the guy's wife.
Class Caster
Fighting Style Koschei, despite being a Caster, doesn't mind fighting people directly. Back when he was alive, Koschei mostly fought through physical means with a sword and steed than he did purely with magic. He doesn't mind doing the same here, but at the same time, he's aware of his weaknesses against the other classes as a Caster. His tactics will mostly be limited to hit and run. When ordered not to fight directly, though, Koschei employs crystal golems or uses his magic to manipulate weather. The theme of most of his magic seems to center around crystals.
Attitude towards the Holy Grail War He would like to enjoy it as long as he can and come out on top. Once he obtains the Holy Grail War, though, he would simply wish to remain immortal to continue his old life in the 1930's.
Status Strength: C
Endurance: D+
Agility: C
Mana: A
Luck: D
Noble Phantasm:
Treasure of Buyan, A+: The secret to Koschei's immortality is inside this iron chest. It contains his soul which is held inside a needle that is inside an egg. The egg is inside a duck which is inside a hare that the chest hides. When found, they will all try to escape as quickly as possible. When the needle is destroyed, Koschei's life is also extinguished.
Class Skills

Territory Creation: A
Personal Skills
The Deathless, A: Koschei will not be killed by conventional means. Attacking him directly or sealing him may stop him, but he will not die. As long as his Noble Phantasm, Treasure of Buyan, is still active, Koschei remains immortal. In addition, he can regenerate any fatal wounds or lost limbs.
Witchcraft: B
