Ivan has many mental illnesses, all of which very severe. These include depression, anxiety, ptsd, cptsd, eating disorders, alcoholism, hallucinations, and even self-harming and suicidal tendencies. Through all of that, he still has a great, but dark sense of humour. He is not very good at speaking English, for he never fully learned it. He is always down for a good party and a good time. He is Bisexual, but after his divorce he has given up on serious, long term relationships.
