Description
Ivan is a tall, burly man with a thick black beard, bushy eyebrows and a scowl permanently on his face. He speaks in surly monosyllables and grunts, and walks with a painful limp. Through his puppets, however, he is a different man. Cheerful, loving, and vivacious, but only through the puppets can he release his true gentle nature. He is not aware of this split of his personality - but the puppets talk about “the boss” constantly, bemoaning his hard heart!
His young “daughter”, Nadia, a street waif the puppets adopted (and Ivan grudgingly allowed to stay) loves him dearly, recognizing him through the puppet’s voices.
There are around 2 or 3 apprentices in the shop that carve the puppets and work the props, etc. but apprentices rarely stay long with such a dark and moody master. Only one, Gepetto, has stayed longer than six months.
Ivan has a beautifully carved enchanted marionette that he uses to attract people to the chows. It is capable of independent movement, controlled magically from a distance (see Encounters, The South Corridor)
Puppet shows range from legendary epics to humorous; 1gp for a seat.
