## Personality

Ivan is a mysterious character who prefers to keep his identity a secret, trusting only fellow Blind Eye Society members. While Ivan claims the society does good, he demonstrates numerous less than ideal traits. For example, he is extremely overconfident, irritable; and cocky, which often backfires on him, and he is ruthless and cruel in protecting the Society's secrets. He prefers to ignore difficult thoughts, such as guilt, and erases such thoughts from his mind. It seems that his entire being revolves around the Society, to the point where he he would literally forget who he is if his memory of the Society was erased.

In truth, he is actually a fanatic and completely devoted to his master Bill Cipher, willing time use his own members to extend his immortal soul.

## Biography

### Early Life

Following Quentin Trembley's impeachment as President of the United States and disappearance from Gravity Falls, the government deemed "local nobody" Nathaniel Northwest as town founder and therefore instating him as the new mayor, a man who believed himself to be a powerful wizard and thus able to eat an entire oak tree. The Northwest Cover-up garnered him an illustrious wealth, prompting him to convince the townspeople to aid in the building of the Northwest Manor. Though many lives were lost during its construction, Nathaniel promised that the lavish parties hosted within the mansion would be welcome for all, but he quickly broke this promise following the manor's completion. Enraged with his deceit, a lumberjack swore vengeance on the Northwest family, vowing to return from the grave 150 years later to murder their descendants, should they fail to allow the commoners entry to their parties.

Despite his newly-acquired wealth, Nathaniel remained mentally unstable and erratic, eventually dying due to choking on oak bark in an attempt to prove himself a wizard. It was noted that all who knew him did not like him, and that he would not be missed. His legacy lived on through his successors, and the people of Gravity Falls memorialized him as the hero who erected their town. In the years following, relatives and descendants of the Northwest family committed numerous misdeeds and crimes under the protection of their wealth and reputation, including betraying Native tribes, embezzling from the town, and slaughtering dozens of animals.

Unknown to the public, Nathaniel made a deal with the dream demon Bill Cipher for an immortal life in exchange for complete devotion to the demon he referred to as his god, granting him incredible powers and able switch bodies upon death by attaching his soul to another host
