Ivan (2024)

Ivan is a character in Our Flag Means Death played by Guz Khan.

Physical Appearance[]

Ivan is a thirtysomething man. Since Guz Khan is of Pakistani descent, it may be assumed the character's origin is meant to be similar. He wears a beard and mustache and his hair is dreadlocked. His clothing consists of a striped black and white shirt and a vest. He often carries an axe with him.

Personality[]

Ivan doesn't like to be wasteful when looting ships and is quick to go through dead men's pockets and pull out their gold teeth.^[1]

History[]

Ivan is a member of Blackbeard's crew, usually seen alongside Fang. They accompany Izzy Hands to the Mabo Island in search of Stede Bonnet, whom Blackbeard wants to meet. During a standoff between Stede and Izzy, Ivan is hit in the face with a stone thrown by one of Stede's men and claims his nose is broken, although he doesn't seem to require any medical attention afterward. He then moves to the Revenge alongside Blackbeard, Izzy, and Fang.

When Izzy takes over the Revenge after Blackbeard and Stede sign the Act of Grace, he joins the rest of the crew in their attempt to mutiny against Izzy and kill him.

He is killed during one of Blackbeard's raids when the crew attack a ship on which a wedding ceremony is being conducted. His death leaves Fang shaken, but Blackbeard apparently doesn't care about it at all.

Relationships[]

Fang[]

Fang and Ivan are usually seen together. They seem to be good friends, although not much is known about their relationship. Ivan reassures Fang when he gets upset over the memories of having to put down his dog.
