Ivan Addinell

Sir Ivan Addinell is a secondary character and antagonist in A Royal Reborn. He is best known for his role as an advisor to King Oliver and for his attempted murder of Andria of Aramore.

Biography
Ivan was born in Averell. After finding success in training to become a knight, and showing an adeptness in negotiation and diplomacy, he requested that his father send him north to train among the best. He spent three years training at Ironfell before seeking house in Alargon's Grove, where he would eventually claim a reputation and seize an opportunity to become a lower-tier member of King Magnos's court at the young age of 24. Young Ivan became a well-established acquaintance and confidant of young Oliver I.

After Rygnor's Coup and Magnos's consequential death, the newly-coronated King Oliver appointed Ivan as one of his personal court advisors. Often, he butt heads with Oliver's head advisor, Jameson.

After the disappearance of Andria of Aramore, Ivan spoke for punishing young Xavier Weston for his crimes but against creating a wall around Aramore, insisting that its cost and effect on travel would create an unnecessary dent in their economy. However, Jameson won Oliver over with his argument that a wall could protect them from outside eyes and inside tragedies, like that of Andria.

A Royal Reborn
Andria remembers Ivan very clearly after having returned to Aramore. He establishes himself as an ally she can trust.
