 Rasputin is actually the assumed identity of a Starlord who was banished to Earth millennia ago who has been shaping human development enough that their technology could help him get revenge on his fellows.He misleads Inaho about how he can use the Oopart to help her get home so that he can turn the life energy of the planet into a weapon against his homeworld.When Inaho tries to stop him it is revealed that much of his body is now mechanical, and he mockingly grants her the immortality she sought so that she can preside over the dead planet for eternity.
