He first appeared in _[Maw of Abbadon](Maw%20of%20Abbadon.md)_, and has been a part of _[Duality of Dragons](Duality%20of%20Dragons.md)_, _[Meaning in Madness](Meaning%20in%20Madness.md)_, _[Heart of Tyre](Heart%20of%20Tyre.md)_, _[Tyre's End](Tyre's%20End.md/)_, and _[The End Game](The%20End%20Game.md/)_. He has also made guest appearances in _[Shadow of Tyre](Shadow%20of%20Tyre.md/)_ and _[Soul of Tyre](Soul%20of%20Tyre.md/)_. > >Ives is calm and calculating, and always cautious. He always take a step back during a fight to shoot from far away, cause that\'s what he\'s good at. >>>[!recite|no-i]- Background >A courier in over his head. A man of humble beginnings, the [Daborakian](Daborak.md) does his best to leave as little a footprint as possible, but usually finds himself in the service of people or ideals much larger than himself. > >Through his work, Ives learned early on the importance of furtiveness, and has since made it second-nature to minimize his presence whenever possible. Subterfuge, sleight of hand, and disguise are no strangers to him; where his military training would demand one to employ the sword, he would challenge that there's always more than one way to slay a beast. > >The middle child of a household of five, his bloodline has lived in service of a noble house with tight ties to the Daborakian government for generations. The complete nature of the arrangement has all but been lost to time, but it is an open secret that the Brightburns have long since been an unofficial (albeit limited) extension of someone else's might. Whether 'they' need soldiers or spies, the Brightburns are obligated to answer the call. Like many in Daborak, family is only second to tradition for them, and they live and die by those two tenets with no hesitation. > >As part of their service agreement, the Brightburn family (extended and otherwise) is to have no less than seven of its members active as servants of their masters, the identity of which is unknown. Orders are disseminated via dead-drop, and each active member is assigned a code name that correlates to single facet of the color spectrum---Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. > >Should one agent perish or retire, another must seamlessly take their place; it was only after the retirement of Ives' father, Hoppe, from active military service that he himself was activated. Inheriting the code name 'Indigo,' Ives' first and only assignment thus far was to do what Hoppe could not in his advanced age---ascertain the whereabouts of his older sister Irina, code named 'Violet,' who disappeared while on assignment in Bleak. If possible, he was to bring her home---dead or alive. > >For months, Ives found himself chasing lead after lead through the shadows and smog of the port city, all to no avail. It was only after hearing of the Half-Father that he found hope in Bleak; through the appropriation of his skills gained both as a courier and through his brief stint as a soldier, Ives molded himself into an ideal cutthroat just to bend his ear. > >Much to his own surprise, he wound up being exceptionally good at the job. Using his rising status as a cover, he spent most of his time digging for information on Irina, ultimately finding a broker that claimed to have exactly what he sought---for a price. - 5,000gp. That's what it would cost him, and it was far more than he had ever seen in his lifetime. To acquire that much money, he'd very quickly resigned himself to doing all sorts of unspeakable things. What he couldn't have foreseen was tour guide being one of them. The Half-Father himself assigned him to lead a motley crew of misfits - a fledgling and apparently flourishing gang called [The TOPS](TOPS.md) - through the wilderness and back. > >Little did he know that what should have been a simple escort job would lead him to the gaping maw of hell itself. The man that went into that portal was hardly the one that came out. >>>[!recite|no-i]- _[Deals in the Dark](Deals%20in%20the%20Dark.md)_ >>>[!recite|no-i]- _[Maw of Abbadon](Maw%20of%20Abbadon.md)_ >>>[!recite|no-i]- _[Duality of Dragons](Duality%20of%20Dragons.md)_ >>>[!recite|no-i]- _[Meaning in Madness](Meaning%20in%20Madness.md)_ >>>[!recite|no-i]- _[Heart of Tyre](Heart%20of%20Tyre.md)_ >**[Ives\' Encounter with Vavren](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDoF-SFwdfo)** >In a quiet, secluded area of [Camp Last Stand](Camp_Last_Stand "wikilink"), the winds blow through the leaves and a trail opens to which *Ives Brightburn* follows. As Ives reaches the end of the path, which is know known as \"*The Trees of Revelation,*\" he starts to reflect on those he has murdered. Ives\' sees a small shrine that catches his eye. It represents [Vavren](Vavren "wikilink"). Ives wonders if what he is doing is enough; can he be redeemed or even forgiven. A soft hand is placed on Ives shoulder, and he expects to be killed. As the hand lets go and Ives\' turns around; he sees Vavren. Vavren gestures a greeting and Ives nods in response. The red autumn leaves gently swirl to surround the both of them. Vavren takes one of the leaves, puts it to his chest, changing the color to green as he lets go. He gestures for Ives to do the same. Ives\' gently plucks a leaf out of the air and stares down at it. > >*"As one walks towards salvation, before they can be forgiven by others, they must first forgive themselves."* > >Ives, thinking about his sister, smiles and lets go of the leaf as it changes green. All the red leaves now turn green and Vavren disappears leaving an arrow laying horizontally on the ground, engraved with the mark of the crow. Ives picks up the arrow with both hands and, looking up at the sky, says, *\"Thank you\"*. Ives places the arrow inside his Top Hat quiver, providing him a use of *Crowstorm,* a volley of arrows that will rain down in a 30 feet radius. Ives then heads back to camp, brimming with purpose.
