The Batlord

And just because, my mom had an Azerbaijani friend with a brother who'd been violently assaulted to the point that he couldn't walk, had trouble speaking, and need assistance to use the bathroom, and there was a small period between when his insurance kicked in to give him a live-in nurse and so I helped out and his mother who was staying with him tried to adopt me. She didn't speak much English but very much wanted to teach me Russian and fed me Russian food for lunch and was just the nicest lady I ever met.

He seemed like a cool dude too but it was kinda hard to tell with his disabilities. But we watched Princess Mononoke cause he had it in his DVD collection and his library introduced me to Kurt Vonnegut. He was actually a professor of Azerbaijani history so I'm sure at his peak he would have been a fascinating dude to talk to and I'm kinda sad I never kept in touch.
