Goncharov has long straight silver hair that falls to the middle of his back, and silver eyes. After Fyodor relieved him of his illness, Goncharov is constantly seen smiling, or on the verge of bliss. As a result of the operation, he feels the greatest respect for Fyodor and does everything his "master" says. Like the latter, Goncharov loves classical music and tea. Ivan is faithful to his master and is ready to follow him to the ends of the earth.
