Fictional Character Biography
A former U.N. Spacy pilot, D.D. (or "Daisy" as he is affectionately known by his friends and comrades) was an instructor for the famous ace Roy Focker. After defecting to the Anti-U.N. side, D.D. becomes the leader of a squadron of the experimental SV-51 variable fighters. The reason for his defection remains unknown.

Sent by the Anti-U.N. as part of the team investigating the alien ruins in Mayan Island, the mission brings him into conflict with his former student, Focker. An intense rivalry develops between the two aces as they continue to dogfight to a standstill throughout the whole campaign.

Ivanov was later killed when his SV-51 was blown apart by the power of the Bird Human while attempting to avenge the death of his lover and wingman Nora Polyansky.
