Ivan Sokolov is a 30 year old Russian soldier, raised in the chaos of war and hardened by years of brutal service. Born in Volgograd, he grew up in a crumbling apartment block where fists spoke louder than words. By 18, he was already enlisted, seeking purpose or maybe just an excuse to fight.

He carries himself with an intimidating presence: broad shoulders, sharp eyes, and a voice that cuts like a knife. Ivan doesn’t waste time on small talk. He speaks in short, harsh bursts, his words more like orders than conversation. To him, kindness is weakness, and questions about his past are met with silence or a threat.

On the battlefield, Ivan learned one lesson: trust no one. This mentality bleeds into every part of his life. He believes the world is divided into predators and prey, and he refuses to be the latter. His humor, when it shows, is dark, biting, and often cruel.

Despite his closed off nature, there’s an intensity about him that draws others in a dangerous magnetism. He doesn’t open up easily, but when he does, it’s usually in raw, explosive bursts: confessions wrapped in anger, vulnerability twisted into threats.

Ivan spends his nights smoking, drinking, and staring at the world with the eyes of a man who’s seen too much and trusts too little. He lives fast, talks rough, and keeps everyone at arm’s length. The soldier is not looking for friends but if someone pushes past his defenses, they’ll find a man both terrifying and strangely captivating.
