Background / History

Ivan was formerly a detective in the detective bureau and worked alongside Glenn Michael as one half of the Teddy Duo. Despite their strong records, both were transferred to Ace Base rather than directly placed in the new department. Their former superiors reportedly considered the pair dangerous to provoke: highly capable in combat, but prone to acting without regard for consequences. 20 44

He became part of Susan Adams's Sixth Reserve Team alongside Brian Lee, Glenn, and Old Harden. Ivan introduced himself as a fugitive-hunting specialist, emphasizing his background in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and boxing. 20

Appearance

Ivan is a large, powerfully built white man whose appearance projects a strong, traditionally masculine presence. 20

• Nearly 6 ft 3 in tall. 20
• Bulging musculature. 20
• Long blond hair and messy stubble. 20
• Later appeared in a flashy pink suit, an eccentric contrast to his intimidating physique. 36

Personality

Ivan is protective of his colleagues and quick to act when they are endangered. After the food-truck bombing, he remained with the injured Brian, assessed his condition, and ensured he received care before returning to the investigation. 20

He is also blunt and uninhibited. His teasing of Brian in the hospital and his exuberant celebration after Sixth Squad's assessment reflect an energetic, boisterous temperament. 20 33

Although he and Glenn have a reputation for reckless conduct, Ivan demonstrated professional investigative judgment during the bombing case. He was willing to challenge Susan's initial assumptions and explain the physical evidence behind his conclusions. 21 44

Investigation and Crime-Scene Analysis

As a former detective, Ivan is experienced at interpreting physical evidence and developing suspects. 20 21

• Determined that the food-truck blast was a deliberate explosive attack rather than a gas-cylinder accident by examining the direction of the vehicle frame's deformation. 21
• Collected physical evidence from the blast scene, including the scorched takeout-box lid that became a key lead. 21
• Investigated victim Kenneth's personal connections with Glenn, identifying Audrin and Li Sen as major suspects. 23 24
• Inferred Audrin's likely anesthetic death from the expression left on his face. 28
• Recognized Mad Dog Ike's history of explosive-related crimes and identified him as a credible bombing suspect. 30

Medical Knowledge

Ivan demonstrated enough medical knowledge to evaluate Brian's blast injury immediately after the food-truck explosion. 20

• Diagnosed Brian with a mild concussion caused by the shock wave. 20
• Determined that Brian likely had no internal bleeding because he had avoided the explosion's direct force. 20
• Explained Brian's temporary memory loss and poor coordination as common concussion aftereffects. 20
