A prayer-rope once belonging to Grigori Rasputin is currently kept at Warehouse 13. It was won by Artie in an auction. Several attempts were made on Rasputins life, but all were unsuccessful. It was believed Rasputin cheated death each time, but really he was killed by the very first assassin. Every time Rasputin was killed, his followers would use this prayer rope to resurrect him in order to make their enemies believe he was immortal.
