General Zaroff is a Cossack expatriate (the story is set in 1924) who left Russia when the Tsar fell. He has been a soldier and a hunter, and has built a palatial retreat on a remote Caribbean Island, occupied only by him, his hounds, and a huge deaf-mute servant named Ivan. His only passion in life now is hunting, and he has begun to waylay unfortunate sailors to become his prey.
