Name:Ivan Braginski
Country of Origin: Russia
Age: 26
Affiliation: Leader of the Russian Mafia
Expertise: Strategist
Being the leader of the Russian mafia, he has the responsibility to plan all the actions and moves of the New York City branch. Ivan tends to be extremely sharp and perfectionist whenever a new move is being planned. He does stop to reach his goals and has firmly decided to make the Russian mafia the supreme ruler of the New York City underground organizations. As he sees it, all the mafias will fall under his dominion and be absorbed by the Russian house.
Façade Job: Ivan is currently a medicine student. He is doing his residency at a public hospital in New York City. During the day, Ivan takes care of patients and learns how to preserve their lives. At night, he is the one in charge to take life away from people who oppose his plans.
Furthermore, due to his abilities, Ivan is normally the one to attend the wounds of the members in the Russian mafia. Also, in a darker setting, Ivan can also use his abilities to inflict pain in enemies –or prisoners- and obtain information through torture.
Personality:
Ivan is full of contradictions. He normally possesses a calm personality that can be described as sweet in many aspects. He is rarely seen without a smile on his face and has a low, pleasant tone of voice. He considers the members of the mafia as his ‘family’ since he never had one of his own. He can also be described as very childish in occasions, whether he does this on purpose to amuse himself or due to a severe case of split personality, it’s unknown.
Due to his troubled past, he sometimes will enter in rage fits or panic attacks that will affect his personality greatly, making him a ruthless person that cares for no one but himself. These episodes can be triggered by major disobedience or betrayal and will lead to physical violence on his part. He will not falter on applying ‘necessary punishment’ to those members of the family that have not followed orders or played up to the part as he “does not want disobedient children.”
Even using his childish façade, Ivan is extremely observant and often spends time evaluating the characteristics in each of the members of the mafia. He is a good judge of character and easily learns how to use each ability, strength and weakness of the people around him for the common good of the organization. He is an innate manipulator.
On a relationship level, Ivan rarely gets close to other members at a personal level, but has identified some of which he calls “his favorites.” Whether this is good or bad for the person in question, is up to debate.
Appearance:
The most prominent characteristic in Ivan is his height. He gets easily noticed by those around him since he is taller than the average man. He has pale blonde hair and deep amethyst eyes, a feature particularly rare and that has brought him a lot of pain and misfortune in the past.
Ivan always is seen wearing a scarf even during the summer. The scarf has two significances as it reminds him of his natal land and at the same time, it is used to cover scars that disfigure part of his neck and back. The Russian normally wear heavy boots and dark colored clothes. He tends to wear long coats and gloves at all times. Ivan is also well built, behind all those layers of clothing, he has a fairly muscular body.
Strengths:
- Due to his size and body type, Ivan has considerable physical strength. Even if he prefers fire arms instead of direct combat, he can put up a good fight.
- Ivan’s mind his sharp. He can observe the people’s weaknesses and strengths and use them for his advantage. He is a manipulator.
- He has a good memory. Due to his profession, he is used to memorize material and that becomes useful for his job in the underworld.
- Even if he can lose control of his temper in occasions, Ivan is charismatic. This is helpful when trying to manage (or intimidate) people.
Weaknesses:

History:
Ivan was born in Moscow, Russia. He was abandoned soon after he was born in front of an orphanage along with a small card that had his name written on it. He was found in a snowy night the night before New Year ’s Eve. Since then, the little Russian grew up in the modest place that he shared with other 15 children. During his infancy, Ivan was prone to fall sick. As soon as the cold Russian winter started, the child started showing symptoms of asthma and high fevers.
However, during the summer, the blonde seemed to bloom into a bundle of happiness and often was seen playing in the flower fields next to the property. In general, Ivan grew up to be somewhat scrawny little kid until the age of 5 when he was taken out of the orphanage.
Little did he know that he was not going to the loving home that he had been promised. After being adopted, his supposed parents took him to a warehouse where he was sold to the underworld due to his delicate physique and rare amethyst eyes. Ivan was shipped to the States and sold as a child prostitute in the darkest places of the underworld.
Ivan was often beaten up and abused because of the smallest mistakes or simply because he was not in shape to ‘perform his duties’ The harsh treatment left him with a trail of scars on his neck and down his back. However, Ivan’s mental health had taken even more damage than his body and it deteriorated with the years. He started talking to himself and blocking the outside world by developing a sweeter personality.
However, when his world seemed to crumble, his attitude changed, becoming extremely aggressive and lashing out on everybody. It was one of those nights that he attacked the particular ‘client’ he was going to service. The client had a gun that the child did not falter to use, killing every human being in the establishment and then falling down onto his knees in the middle of a pool of blood.
It was there when one of the members of the Russian mafia found him and realized all the potential that the blonde had. Ivan was taken into the Russian family and trained as a very unlike killing machine. Who would suspect of an innocent looking child?
Throughout the years, Ivan escalated positions easily due to his disposition and his abilities. He was groomed to become a possible leader, something that he achieved at the early age of 20 years old.
He also developed a fascination with the medicine and the fine threat between life and death, therefore, enrolled himself in one of the universities in the area. He graduated with a degree in Biology and decided to pursue medicine. Furthermore, his position in the hospital serves him as an excellent cover up and at the same time, as a source of information about the whereabouts of other mafia members.
Sample/Character Introduction:
The Russian men left the hospital as he tugged in his scarf. His hands found their way to the pockets in the dark coat that he was wearing as he felt the icy wind of New York City hit his face. Winter was fast approaching and he pursed his lips with some disapproval. Maybe a walk around the park would appease his mood and relax him after a long day at work… A walk would also prepare him for the night that was starting for him.
He walked in the busy street as he observed how the people seemed rushed to go back to their homes, to their families. A cold smile appeared on his lips and he signed softly, guiding his steps towards the park. Oh, that subject again…A family. A family was everything he had wished for when he was a child: the dreams of loving parents that would lift him up from the ground every time he fell and scratched his knees… maybe a dog that he could play with and a soft, warm bed that would scare away all the specters that haunted his dreams and yet… a family was something that he had found in the most unexpected of places.
He had found a family in the deepest recesses of the city. He had been given the choice of join them in the middle of a pool of blood and in the warmth of bodies that would soon turn cold. He had been the child, taken under the wings of not angels but demons. Ivan himself had become one of those specters that haunted him… A specter that had been taught of a thousandth different ways to heal and kill a human at the same time… He had been raised to be a murderer, executioner, a leader and now he would become a father for all those souls in despair, looking for help.
Ivan stopped his pace as the wind blew against his face, his scarf moving in a soft motion. He now had the power to create a family as he wanted it to be and tonight everything would start. He would set his plans in motion.
“Ivan hopes he will recruit many good children” he talked to himself, a soft smile grazing his lips. Tonight would be the first night as the head of the Russian mafia and the start of his new kingdom, his new world.
Tonight he will be born again, not as a specter but a demon in his own right. Tonight, He will get his own dark wings.
