Dmitry might very well be one of the last surviving Samurai.
Born in a tiny village in Eastern Europe, he quickly escaped captivity, opting instead to be raised by wolves on the left side of the Atlantic. After encountering a fallen star, celestial forces brought him to Cortiva Massage School — a profoundly magical place where Dmitry met and was inspired by wise ones who had been successful in their search for truth.
His apprenticeship completed, Dmitry was blessed (with a diploma) by Karis-San and Coffey-San, and has been shaping the lives and minds — not to mention the muscles and fascias — of countless patients ever since.
