Boris Ivanski

Background
1981-1986

Boris spent considerable time reading the occult books in the mansion’s library and was able to garner a significant amount of information about the supernatural including vampires, Mages, Werewolf, Wraith/Spirits and the Fae.

Boris spent some time travelling to England (notably the most haunted land in the world) to explore and learn more about spirits. He also spent time in Transylvania speaking with some of the foremost scholars on vampire lore. He visited Scotland and Ireland learning about the Fae, and spent a stint of time in Deushtep learning the Hermetic Code and preparing to enter the ranks of a seventh degree adept major. He expects to be able to accomplish this by the end of 1986. He has been a guest lecturer on the occult at Straussen Academy and has begun writing a tome on the occult that he hopes will one day be recognized as a definitive educational work by the Hermetics. Due to the differences in time between the normal earth realm and the various horizon realms, he visited in his quest for knowledge, Boris actually aged 20 years in the 5 years that passed on the Island (he is actually 41 years old) but all his records show him as 26 years old.

Boris and Wendy got married in May 1981, only to get divorced shortly after that in June 1982. Irreconcilable differences were cited, but in actuality, Boris became obsessed with getting his business off the ground, training his apprentices and finding the answers to the “secret” of the occult. Boris was an inattentive father and did not sue for visitation rights to their daughter (now 5 years old). She is currently a sleeper. When Wendy died in a car crash, Boris recieved custody of the child (he is not sure what to do with her).
