Ivan Mendeleev
Ivan is a gangly young man 5'2" and weighing 60lb, who's appearance is somewhat mixed matched, as demonstrated by the variety of clothes he wears. Heavily patched trousers, shirt and jacket, not even his shoes aren't the same. It's like he's wearing whatever he found in a Clowns jumble.

Over two year Ivanovic had a series of clashed with a group of thugs calling themselves Ridge Runners. The last clash took place in an construction site with Dimetry the Fang, ending with both himself and the Fang falling through the shutters and landing on the Forrester Domanivict Checov. In the darkness Ivanovic heard the Fang stumbling away, leaving him the choice of helping the Forester or being hunted down by the Boyer's
