Brief backstory: Dimitri was born and raised in a small Russian circus until the age of 15. His mother, a shifter in the circus, tried to escape with him in the middle of the night after she heard of the circus wanting to sell him to the Cirque du Magie. They were caught by the men who ran the Russian circus, beaten, and separated. Dimitri was sold the next month to Magie and never saw his mother again. He has been performing in the Cirque du Magie every day since then as their wild animal acts, especially their "tamed" tiger doing tricks and selling exorbitantly priced tickets to pet and interact with him as a tiger.
