Vselov

Prince of Polotsk region in Kiev.

Treated the Byzantine Envoys with courtesy, allowed them free reign in his library and loaned them the use of sleighs and drivers to speed them through Polotsk into Novgorod.

Demonstrated the power of the Spear of Alexander the Great by temporarily turning Ivan's armor into paper when the Spear pierced it.

Not trusted by Prince Vladimir, reciprocates the feeling.

Suspicious activities in towns may possibly be indicators of rebellion. Byzantine Envoys hurried through region to avoid getting embroiled in local politics.
