Dodging bullets and flying wine bottles, leaving a trail of broken hearts and bodies throughout Europe and Middle Asia, Mustafio is the raconteur's raconteur. Coming from a long, twisted line of Bulgarian nobility, Mustafio has amassed and squandered fortunes faster than Earl Jones changes his socks. When he stops moving, we get him into the studio to talk about his exploits. We have no idea where he is at present, but we know he'll show up when we least expect it - usually when he needs money.
