Suggested by resonlinklater1

Kingo began his film career in the early days of silent films in the early 20th Century, billing himself as "The Great Kingo". He starred in Saraush Ke Putra. Once having settled into India in the 1930s[4], Kingo made a name for himself in the Bollywood film industry. To hide his immortality, he claimed through the years that he belonged to a single lineage of acclaimed actors. As the "son" of The Great Kingo, "Raj Kingo Deva", he starred in Yuva Prem. As his "grandson", "Kingo the Third", he starred in Galikota, ; as his "great-grandson", "Sri Kingo", he starred in Khel, and as his "great-great-grandson", he starred in Phantom Gun, The Shadow Warrior 2: Voyage of Time and Shadow Warrior 3, as well as directing some internet content. During this time, in the 1970s, he met Karun Patel, who was shocked upon learning of his agelessness and attempted to stake Kingo through the heart, believing he was a vampire. The two eventually reconciled, with Patel becoming Kingo's loyal assistant and friend.
