## Biography

### Early Life

Michael Ivanov was born on the 17th of August, 1984 in Northway, Oxford. As a child, he was the smartest in his class, and graduated from Oxford with 3 PhDs in Criminology, Business, and Drug Sciences and an MBA. His father was a high ranking figure in the USSR, which then later transferred to the Russian government. Because of this, his father would teach him many KGB tactics. He gets on well with him as they share similar opinions on multiple things.

### Criminal History

At age 16, he pulled several small bank heists when his father was in debt. He used his left over cash to start up his first business, Neopharmaceutical, a pharmaceutical company. In 2001, his father was arrested for being suspected of assisting Al-Qaeda with 9/11, but Michael made bail for him and sued the US Court for unlawful arrest. During the Iraq War, in which he aided Saddam Hussein (which eventually failed anyways), he committed many war crimes and founded the Russian Mafia, which started his criminal record that needs 2 computer hard drives to store records of all 598,317 crimes he has committed.

### Personality

Michael is a rather opinionated but charming and sarcastic individual. He easily balances being a charismatic and friendly man and being a brutal force to be reckoned with. He is fully loyal to no one, only somewhat to people he is close with. Those who have just recently met him should watch their backs. He is materialistic, but despite this, he seems to have a passionate approach to romance. He doesn't date unless he believes it is real love, which is rarely. He is deeply invested in his roots, especially Spanish, as he is a talented flamenco dancer and he is fluent in most languages.

### Goldrush

**July, 2015**

Ivanov was driving his 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS Coupe to San Diego but he crashed into Steeled and swore a vendetta against him. He then got 300 million dollars and lied about how he obtained it. He later threw a house party attended by Vladimir Putin, who announced the Russian government would be supporting The Ivanov Corporation. The party was then crashed by several Devv members, who kidnapped him and put him in their 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. They then got arrested.

During their imprisonment, Enchanter became Boss of Devv temporarily, and Michael condescendingly explained how to deal with a rival crew. He also told them to stop wasting money on their LGBT inclusivity program, however, iOS snitched on him and his scheme. He then called a meeting with Yuri Malenkov, Jose Esteban, and several high rankers to talk about how to disrupt Devv's business dealings.

Devv decided to attack one of his hideouts on Mount Lee but he, Yuri and George Clooney escaped in a 2013 Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG. They bid farewells at LAX and had a conversation about the rationale behind naming his dog Riesling.

**December, 2015**

Michael arrived at his most loyal consigliere, Carlito Canligieri,'s wedding. He bumped into Enchanter again and a 2010 Ford Mondeo drove by and killed Carlito, and it is revealed Michael had been living in Belgium. He then took Enchanter to Leuven Airstrip to take 2 billion in gold from Bulgarian smugglers, however Enchanter was told they were the "Bastille Clan" , an obvious lie. They took the plane to a airstrip in Betpak-Dala and they then took the gold in trucks to Volgograd Trade Depot, where they were ambushed by Blackstar and TM, who exposed DieHard as a liar. He was saved by [1]Captain Price and other Task Force 141 members. They drove off in 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicons, a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and Blackstar's Subaru. He also shot Enchanter in the leg. After they pursued in Range Rovers, Michael pulled off a stunt which stopped them in their tracks.

In the final chapter, Ivanov and Task Force 141 are preparing to kill General Shepherd.

### The King Thanks You

**January, 2016**
The second novel starts where the other left off, with Michael and Task Force 141 killing General Shepherd. They then redirect a missile to North Macedonia, which believes it to be the doing of Devv. He also sends 20 of his soldiers disguised as Devv members to execute public officials who attended Ozzy's funeral. That was the second framing of Devv. He then sent ISIS to attack Blackstar and TM. Later, Cryptic locked Charlie, Destroyer, Steeled, and Barmy under the payroll of Ivanov. Yuri later briefed him about the status of his scheme. He returned to LA to steal back his 2011 "Hyperpowered" Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, kill Rko, and kidnap Icy. After his movie viewing session was interrupted, he, Yuri, and Jose took the 2016 Ford Shelby GT350R, 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV, and 2016 Mazda MX-5 respectively and tried to escape. When they arrived at the wedding, Charlie shot him multiple times, killing him.
