On significance of the nickname
OK. You love the Master, I love the Master. I think it’s kind of granted. And we all like reading fics about out favorite megalomaniac with auditory hallucinations. The Master also sometimes knows as Koschei. And that what I’m writing here about. Because I got a feeling that most people think it’s something fluffy or childish or insignificant. Hell it is. (And here i'm just too tired of all pet-nicknames that people invented, all very silly in context to tell you the truth :)). So, moving on... Koschei. That name is taken from Russian mythology and, basically, it’s the name of personification of Death. Usually he could be found in fairy-tales. The iconic image of this character is a bloody skeleton or very skinny old man. He is some type of warlock, obsessed with immortality, which is what he is most famous for. See he is really really hard to kill. He hid his death. He usually shames against protagonist, making hero’s life very interesting and very difficult.
He is a destructive by his nature, but also able to create.
The name itself means either “bone” or “prisoner” or “cat”. Lots of variants here, really.
In some aspects that character is very much alike Voldemort or say Nazgul, if you want example from contemporary literature.
I’m not sure if anybody is interesting in something less generic. But if you are, I could write something about it. So should I?
