Pyotr Verkhovensky, return from St. Petersburg. Stavrogin is repeatedly<br />
found at the centre of sc<strong>and</strong>als, brawling <strong>and</strong> duelling. A h<strong>and</strong>some young<br />
man <strong>and</strong> a sex addict, he ruins those who fall in love with him. Verkhovensky,<br />
