So I've been into Shadowrun for a while now, and it's been an on and off hobby of mine to make Rasputin. So far I've made him a Mystic Adept with all of his attributes, positive qualities, adept powers, and spells, and skills focusing toward staying alive and persuasion. Just wanted to get some insight from more experienced runners than I.

Assuming you're not talking about a PC, then Rasputin is definitely a Street Legend tier character. Aim for something like 400BP plus about 2000 Karma as a guidline.
As for the build itself... Horned Man for a Mentor Spirit definitely fits his attitude. Be sure to throw on Exceptional Attribute (Charisma) and Aptitude (Con) or (Negotiation). He'll have plenty of room for some offensive spells, so be sure to throw in a couple, including an appropriately themed Elemental spells.

I'm more partial to the cover by Turisas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdkBs0VCSX0 Don't ask me why they decided to make a cver of a 70s disco song but it's pretty great. Thank you all, though! I'll work on him tonight and post what I've got later on.

Don't forget the very high ratings in the various mental/personality disorders. He was known as the Mad Monk for a reason.
Seriously, according to history, he was a selfish, self-centered brute who new less about healing people than he did table manners. His remarkable strength of personality and ability to lie to desperate parents put him at the czar's side, and gave him power over Russia. Yes, he was all the rage with the ladies, but dirty, ravenous clergy was very different than anything anyone in that high society had ever seen, and for those jaded fops, he was something else.
Only his death was of anything of note, and that might have just been his killers wanting to be through. After what he did to Russia, maybe killing him once wasn't enough.
...all in my opinion, of course.
