IVAN: The Russian Angel

He was born on the 15th of March, 1221 to Saint Helga by Angel Raphael. Of forbidden love, they had it secret. No one knew some people were angels sent to Earth. Helga and Raphael were lovers in the land of Heaven. Their love from above became flesh in Earth. His mother left him in the orphanage to be taken care of and was adopted by Vlad Yasilvich, his gluttonous foster-father, and Zarina, his earthly mother who had always loved him in spite of her husband's cruelty towards him.

When his father gets drunk, his father usually beats him up. Useless. Weak. Stupid. Insults from his father which engraved itself profoundly unto his memory. His father always taught he was of the devil for his skin was not penetrable by anything, even knives. His father wished he had a normal son and Ivan always bore the heavy tension inside. His father rebuked him so much that the reason he adopted him was that he could use him as a punching bag when he got angry with his wife, whom he doesn't want to hurt.

On 1237, a Mogul Invasion occurred. Genghis Khan.
Their town got caught up and his parents were killed. St. Helga helped him escape the scouting moguls for survivors. He lived on his own for some time; sleeping on a cave and finding bread in front of him when he wakes up. On his 17th birthday, he was visited by Saint Helga and made known to him of what he truly is. He understood right away everything like he had already known it before. That was because he was already born in heaven, he just took flesh on Earth. His wings started growing but his body never did. Angels were immortal. But never perfect. His grip was stronger. And he need not to eat food every meal for light was what he only needed. Ivan became an angel.
