A relatively new recruit to the Dastavka, Ivan was a mercenary for hire after leaving the Russian Spetznaz. His reputation as a dropship pilot is somewhat overshadowed by his cold bloodthirsty manner in which he has executed enemies in the past, making many political figures avoid hiring him. Despite the bad press the journalist give him, he is one of the best shots in a beam turret you will ever find, and in a firefight you definitely want him on your side.

Ivan usually controls one of the triple beam turrets on Dastavka.
