===Persona History:===
Ivan grew up in the 15th Century in the Illyrian Country in Dalmatia near modern day Senj, Croatia. His mother was a seamstress and his father a fishmonger. The mother moved him to the mountainside and shielded him from the outside world after his father didn't return home from the sea during Ottoman occupation. As a young adult, Ivan found a deep love for music and the arts and left home to entertain the masses, but returns home frequently to bring his mother stories of his adventures. He travels along the coastline through Italy for the most part.<BR>
