This is the life of several different characters that live and die in Mother Russia. This is their story and how it all ends and begins at the same time. The Majestic Man is the magical spark that joins them all, together as one, separated as none. The story of the great, anti-hero and how it all began in The Motherland. In a basement, Mr. Pickles is struggling, his friends are slowly fading away into oblivion. Rufus the Thug is driving a black Mercedes, he's driving Construct Karl to the airport. Lian the village girl is on a journey, she's travelling on a train escaping from her past and from herself. Dima the monster is in a cell, he's in isolation eating watery porridge for breakfast. Natasha is a waitress, she works in a posh cafe in the center of the city. Mr. M.M. and Dmitry are watching her, they are all lost without direction. Project unification is the only thing that can join them all.

It's him, The Majestic Man. He's searching for fate, yet he can't find it just yet. This is the life of an outcast, an anti-hero that wants to be free. He lives not in reality but somewhere else, where dark dreams might come true. His past chases him endlessly in hope of retribution. One day it might just catch up, and then destiny unfolds. This is his life, one mistake at a time. One bad choice after the other.

This is me in all my glorious and pathetic splendor, I'm the result of treacherous fate. This life is something that I could have never guessed. A choice that I would have never made, a shotgun-suicide that I would have never committed. Who would ever choose to become a brainless zombie begging for brains? No one in their right mind would do such a despicable thing. Boring sheep! All of them, I say Quite unfortunately for me I'm not just anyone. Most certainly I'm not a conformist and not the average Joe. When it comes to life, I like it hard and sexy all the way to hell even if it's for my own misfortune. Mother didn't raise no losers, if failure is my destiny then I shall majestically fail in such an epic way that no one will ever be able to forget my tragic ending. Not even me... For this is my righteous destiny and my glorious descent to the fiery pits of hellish damnation. This most precarious choice has a name. Her name is Julia, the reason for all my predicaments and failures. No, I'm not even selling it short. Everything happened because of her! The SheDevil! But what if life could be different? Could it all be something else? The what if and the maybe not, the unsolved enigma of my sweet life. This is the relentless question that I cannot answer. Just yet...

This book promises to become the standard work of the history of the slaves, slaveholders, and the free black population of Antebellum Baltimore. For five years, Mr. Clayton has collected, transcribed, and cross-indexed a great variety of documents: applications for certificates of freedom, slave schedules, field assessor work books, census schedules, mortality schedules, general property tax records, city directories, newspaper advertisements and articles, the Schomburg collection at the Pratt Library in Baltimore, original letter manuscripts, and acts of the General Assembly of Maryland. The growth of Baltimore's black community, free and slave, was supported by two geographical factors of Baltimore. The city's thriving harbor offered a large employment market that attracted free blacks and offered slaveholders the opportunity to hire out their slaves. And Baltimore's position between the North and the South made it a logical station for escaped slaves either trying to reach the North or hoping to blend in with Baltimore's large free black population. The result of Mr. Clayton's labors is a comprehensive, fascinating, and sometimes painful view of an important period in the history of Charm City for which researchers everywhere will thank him.
