Born in 1995 in the Ukrainian city of Odessa, Ivan was usually the quiet type in his early days and would often help his mother with everything as his father was a scientist that would often take trips to the Chernobyl and Pripyat zones for radiation testing. Ivan wanted to be like his father when he grew up but the ever growing threat with Russia seemed to be forcing his options in another route. Ivan seemed to take every opportunity he could to make money in the long run so he could support his mother while his father was away. Years and years later as he grew older, he found his money making scheme to have taken him to the front lines of the war in Ukraine, fighting for both sides. Whichever seemed to pay better in that month.

The money he was making from the war was going back to his mother along with notes telling her of the fake places that he was and how he was making his money legitimately through other means than mercenary work. Both of his parents hated the war, the wanted nothing to do with it and therefore found a hatred for both sides fighting in it when they saw bigger pictures. A year into Ivan doing work the he found himself meeting other people such as him and making good friends of them, they all seemed like, strays. However, finding comradery within the pack. These are the people he would end up following for the years to come and make names for themselves as they continue to do their work.
