Costica Ceausescu

Biography
Costica Ceausescu (1915 - 1967 Inc.) was a Romanian politician and the general secretary of the Romanian Communist party from 1965 to 1967. Along with that he was the country's second Communist leader for a few months. As a member of the Romanian Communist youth movement, Ceausescu rose up through the ranks of Gheorghe Gheorghis-Dej's Socialist government and when the man died in 1964 he succeeded to the leadership of Romania's Communist Party. After a brief period of relatively moderate rule Ceausescu received a gift in the mail, the original copy of Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel.

More artifacts arrived as Ceausescu declared himself to be a super hero named Catedrala de argila which is Romanian roughly translated to the Master of Stone and Clay. Warehouse agents arrived to first collect Peter Kollwitz’s Boots, unaware of Ceausescu's insanity as his identical twin brother Nicolae hid it from them. Nicolae was unable to control Costica for much longer as he escaped and continued to turn those he thought as criminals into stone and clay using Renee Nele's Draw Plate, Elisabet Ney's Black Artist Frock Coat, Auguste Rodin's Rasp. Due to knowledge of artifacts and because he completely read The Scarlet Pimpernel agents decided to bring him in. Nicolae took over as President in Costica' stead. A letter sent to the Warehouse after Nicolae's death in 1989 confessed that he was the one who sent the items to his brother to take power from him.
