His strength is also his greatest weakness. He is incredibly Stubborn, never giving up the opportunity to take a prize, no matter what the size. He is also exceedingly good at fighting in close, cramped environments, which is a surprise when looking at him.

PERSONALITY:
Ivan is stubbon, malicious, and angry. He gained the nickname 'Ivan the Red' because he drinks the blood of the vanquished with his meals. He is untrusting of people who haven't proven themselves to him, but he knows how to lead, and motivate his crew so that they achieve their full potential.

HISTORY:
Ivan Valtiere was the bastard son of the lord of the house on Commenor, and the new matron. By the time he was born, he also had two true sisters, and five half siblings. He and his sisters were reminded of their place, often brutally by the lord, lady and children of the house. He and his sisters were made to sleep in the kennels or barn,'like the common animals they were', and beaten when they did not do the housework. They grew to hate their 'masters'

He and his sisters were made to sleep in the kennels or barn,'like the common animals they were', and beaten when they did not do the housework. They grew to hate their 'masters'
This came to a point when the lord decided to sell his sisters to a noble family as servants. He never saw them again, but that had set of the spark to fuel the fire that was 'Ivan the Red'. He began to meticulously and maliciously plan the downfall of the family.
Many speculated about the dissapearence of Ivan, the death of the family, drained of blood, the red handprint emblem left at the scene, the destruction of the manor and the disapearence of the family yacht. Only Ivan knew. He laughed as he drank the thick red liquid. As he looked out into space, he saw a large freighter, far faster than his puny yacht. This was the moment Ivan became a Pirate.
He has been 'ship hopping' for years now, for a long time working with a ship size he could live with for a while, His corvette, the Aegis. He had been the first to unite the pirates into a single, deadly group, which he named 'the bloodied hand'. He had to kill other captains who didn't comply, and give examples to any possible dissenters. But he knows how to get the crewman working, without violence.
Recently, Ivan upgraded from the Aegis to the Aegis II, a frigate from the ARC company he stole in a daring raid. This raid sparked the interest of the shadowy Kitarra Larellan. Soon, the head of ARC, and his mercenary general, Jansen Freidh, were on the hunt for the pirate lord.
After numerous attempts to approach him, they decided to try another route. They set up a convoy, seemingly poorly defended, but in fact made entirely of warships. Ivan couldn't resist the apparent prize. Naturally, the Bloodied hand took them from hyperspace, warcries on their lips.
They did well, considering they were outgunned. The Aegis II and her fighters left the boarding parties, waiting in the safety of hyperspae. Ivan fought his way to the bridge, brutally killing those in his way. He eventually came up against Jansen Freidh. The silver-tongued and iron-fisted merc brokered deal: They stop attacking ARC ships, they could continue raiding other company's convoys, and ARC would even pay them. There would be no official ties. Ivan agreed, the fianances going through his new smuggler, Kamryn.
Eventually, however, Ivan grew bored. He could not take the larger prizes, due to a sever lack of crew. A ruthless band of upstarts had caught his attention: The Skeleton Guard. Ivan and his now wife, Kamryn Valtiere, met with the leader Venator. They merged the two groups to form the raiders coalition. They would all have equal say in the group.

A scouting team made up of Bloodied hand and Skeleton guard found a perfect new base: The Oort cloud around the Perave system, close to the trade routes of the Hydian way, and the Perlemian trade route.
The Raider's coalition had many sucesses, becoming a name used by parents to frighten their children (Go to bed, or the raiders will take you away!), foiling many attempts by the authorities to take them out, due to the shiftng maze of the Oort cloud. In these times, Ivan had three children with Kamryn, A son, Dagan, and twin daughters.
Ivan continues to take an active role, being barely a quarter through his long Sephi lifespan. Recently, his illegitimate Sephi son, Hasdrubal, has joined him, a lad more bloodthirsty than Ivan, the red baron. Now the galaxy need truly fear the Valtieres.
Hasdrubal opened Ivan's eyes to the way his human companions had changed him, softening him. The last straw was when Venator proposed using the raiders as a force for the Hutts. Ivan, along with his Hasdrubal, left. Kamryn, furious that he had left, followed, with a force to take Hasdrubal down, to win her husband back.
Ivan gutted her on a small moon, leaving her to bleed out and die on the cold earth. He had remembered himself. He returned to his home, Thustra, to marry his true love, Faeyna. He returned a hero, for deeds done long ago. His marriage to a royal, and tactical expertise won him the role of Lord-Marshall of the Thustran royal guard, the Sephi elite army.
