"SPD Yellow!"

"A-Squad Yellow Ranger!"



Ivan is the Yellow Ranger of the A-Squad Rangers in Power Rangers: A-Squad.

Biography
Ivan had grown up in relative poverty on Mirinoi, which during this time has developed into something of a "second Earth." Having to steal and scrounge to get by, Ivan had developed an innate appreciation for the value of money and wealth. Upon reaching adolescence, Ivan had become quite the swindler, frequenting casinos and betting polls; Ivan had hoped to gather enough funds to leave Mirinoi and make something of himself. After being caught in an attempt to extort money out of an undercover Space Patrol Delta agent, Ivan's skills in evasion, agility, and improvisation were noted by SPD, resulting in an offer to join SPD in exchange for a pardon. Seeing no alternative, he accepted.

At an undisclosed point in time during his tenure on Earth, an old connection of Ivan's contacts him with an update on his family's situation on Mirinoi. Apparently a planet-wide crime-war had escalated between one of Ivan's old bosses and a rival one, with his hometown caught in the middle. Cruger sends Ivan to Mirinoi in order to catch both of the bosses in an undercover sting operation. He is torn between his loyalty to his old allies and SPD. However, with some encouragement from Beevor and Charlie, Ivan decides to execute the operation, whilst also secretly destroying the evidence in the process; thus pleasing everybody.

Ivan and the A-Squad were sent to the Helix Nebula to hold off a Troobian Invasion there. However, the Squad was overwhelmed, communication with them totally lost.....At least to SPD. In reality, Emperor Gruumm held great respect for the A-Squad's power, and made the plea for them to abandon their job and join his army. Ivan found himself hesitant, until Gruumm assured him that he would not only be paid double his SPD salary, but would also see his family safely transferred to an eventual Troobian City Colony.

Personality
Ivan is definitely a smooth-talker. With a suave, open, and genial way of carrying himself; Ivan can be the life of the party. He's also good at detecting when others are lying, and can be a good diplomat. He's also not above cheating, using shortcuts, or weaseling his way out of a situation; and is especially resourceful when he finds himself desperate. With his personality, he makes friends (and enemies) easily.

Ivan has a close friendship with Beevor due to their mutual financial backgrounds and their having similar personalities. The pair are practically inseparable, and can be an unstoppable duo on the battlefield.
