Pathologic Character Analysis: Vlad the Younger

The benevolent CEO. The good tsar. The one who ostracizes himself from his own family to dig in the muck and the blood beneath the Town. The one who pursues the mysteries beneath a town he'd happily flatten. A man who seems torn between Kin and money, the past and the promise of Utopia. A bundle of contradictions, perhaps - but that's what we're here to talk about today. If you enjoyed, please share it around with other Pathologic fans! Goodness knows YouTube doesn't do me any favours sometimes. Let me know which characters you'd like to see next! I'm also working on a video on the Town's spaces and buildings, which hopefully I can finish sometime this year :) Chapters: 0:00:00 Spoiler Warning 0:00:05 "Greed" by Pamela Cochran 0:01:24 Pathologic Design Document Description 0:02:00 Introduction 0:04:04 Vlad the Younger and the Kin 0:19:28 Vlad the Younger and Utopianism 0:28:33 Vlad the Younger and the Earth 0:35:20 Conclusion 0:37:16 Post-Script Reference List Bukhovets, O.
