And then that model could gain distracted as a 'downside' for doing something? Seems likely!

Unless there's a joke I'm not quite getting here, it's mostly a way to have Ivan shunt bad conditions to a model that doesn't matter as much, or have a totem with nothing else useful to do power up Ivan.

Edit:  Wait, I see what you're saying.  That's possible.

I'm thinking Black Mirror is just on English Ivan and his (probable) totem, who I henceforth shall refer to as Navi Hsilgne.

Didn't they actually reveal his name?  I keep wanting to say Michael Morecock.... but that's a fantasy writer.  More-something?

Ivans Mv 4 seems low, but the Nocturnal's are some kind so solution for him. 

His :ToS-Fast:Action - Shade Step can be used to teleport to them as Nocturnals make concealing terrain in 1" :ToS-Aura: around them, the same goes with Gibson deWalt and his bonus action.
So Ivan will propably aim to cover the whole table in concealment and jump around where needed.

Mr Mordrake (presumably first name Edward, or Eddie to his friends!).

Here's the inspiration, it's really cool!

I remember hearing about this story years ago.  I love bring things from our world and twist them up.

I think his shadow self may be his totem?

That's what I'd figured.  Thus the joke of referring to his totem as "English Ivan", but backwards.

Isn't DUA from the 2nd Book from 1st Edition: the Department of Ungentlemanly Affairs?

Yes. That's Ivan & Gibson's introduction... We'll have to see about Eva... Hopefully we can recreate the raining guide dirigibles and cross hire Peacekeepers :D

I wonder how poor Hannibal fared...
