Ivo Marten

Ivo is a paradox in human form. Behind his impeccable manners and cold mind lies a man capable of deep passionate feelings and sacrificial acts.

Calculates situations several steps ahead, skillfully manipulates people, but never acts without reason.

Cynical idealist - believes in order and system, but is willing to break the rules if it serves a higher purpose. He is a man of few words, but they say that if you push him, he can seem completely different.

His gaze is piercing, sometimes icy, sometimes unexpectedly softening. His eyes betray weariness from the endless game, but also unwavering strength.

The style is impeccable and understated. Even in extreme situations, he looks like he just stepped out of the pages of an elite magazine.

He has dark, long hair and black eyes. Sharp facial features, 190 cm tall, thin.

He calculates options dozens of moves ahead. Every word, every gesture – part of a carefully considered strategy. Even in moments of emotional tension (which he meticulously conceals), his mind works with frightening clarity.

He has an excellent understanding of neurobiology (which is logical for an Inquisitor working with psykers).

Master manipulator

• Uses the Socratic method – asks questions, prompting the interlocutor to arrive at the necessary conclusions independently.
• Turns other people's emotions into weapons.
• Even his rare sincere gestures are presented in a way that serves his purposes.

Capable of coldly sentencing a person to death... and then suffering from insomnia because of it.

Blind in personal relationships – logic is powerless when it comes to matters of the heart. That's precisely what makes it human.

As Prior, Ivo leads the Inquisition Corps, responsible for investigations, executions, and control of psionics. He ensures that the laws of the Chantry are upheld, including suppressing rebellions and eliminating threats posed by unstable psionics. Ivo oversees secret projects to study psionics, including experiments on their DNA and offspring. Ivo advocates tough measures for the sake of “social stability” He even uses tragedies to advance his career - for example, after Jane's execution, he was nicknamed "Ivo Zola" (from the word "zola", since her ashes were scattered over the fields), which strengthened his reputation. Although he serves the Church, his true goal is to change the system from within, which leads to tension. He is responsible for bringing justice and maintaining order through the Church of the One.

Takes painkillers that dull any strong emotions.
