Ivory Bordeaux

Ivory was born in secret on the farm Viper lived on with his parents. His father died in a war before he was born. When Ivory was barely old enough to walk, Viper was cast out of his home and the pair was left homeless in the wilderness. Ivory spent the majority of his childhood traveling aimlessly with Viper. They came across Maxine Lial's group and Viper gave little hesitation to joining. Ivory was largely ignored by Maxine and her associates. He worked as a prostitute for them, but was never included in any discussions. He made friends with her middle son, Alexei, and quickly fell in love with him. Ivory fell into Alexei's group of friends, including Friendly Chemist. Illness struck the small group and Ivory fell ill, however, he wasn't killed by the illness. Maxine murdered him in cold blood after he threatened to reveal her plans. Lucky for Ivory, he came back to life many years later and found Friendly Chemist by chance. He pointed Ivory in the direction of where his mother and Alexei resided. At the time, Ivory was living in the Solaris Kingdom. He tried to convince Alexei and Viper to move with him, but Viper refused because he had remarried and was pregnant. Ivory stormed out in fury. He met with Friendly Chemist against and decided to move to the Dark Dynasty, so long as Friendly Chemist went with him. Ivory was, once again, largely left to his own accord. He got a job as a prostitute, managed by Viper's husband Valentino. Friendly Chemist left the Dark Dynasty shortly after joining. Valentino was captured and murdered by the Exiles, so Viper and Alexei both left, leaving Ivory all alone. Valentino returned to the Dark Dynasty alive, to only Ivory.

Ivory was born to Viper and Isaac when the pair was just out of high school. Ivory was never as close with his father as he was with Viper. He lived with his uncle, Viper's only biological brother, while both of his parents enlisted in the French military. His uncle Crystal, or Shard, was very kind to him and loved him like his own. When Viper was discharged from the military and decided to move to America, Ivory chose to stay in France with Shard. He was only around four at the time. However, it didn't take long for Ivory to give in and follow his mother to America. He had never learned proper English, so he relied on Viper for everything. His marks in school dropped, but he was never a focused student to begin with. Viper's current partner, Ramon Caro, paid little to no attention to Ivory. In return, Ivory paid no attention to him. Viper moved from their small flat above the bakery Viper owned into Mafia headquarters when Ivory was seven. Viper wasn't particularly careful with what Ivory was exposed to. He loved Ivory and Ivory knew that, but there would be long periods of time where Viper would forget that Ivory exists. Ivory made friends with Maxine Lial's middle son, Alexei just before Viper began a new relationship. Ivory took care of Alexei through all of his wreckless adventures. Viper's partner was not pleasant to neither Viper nor Ivory, but that was just Viper's type of person to be around. Ivory was very adamant and outspoken about the treatment Viper recieved, which only led to the poor threatment being directed to Ivory. Viper was usually never home, so he was oblivious to the mental, physical and sexual abuse that Ivory recieved. Viper was devastated when he found out, but it took him several years to leave his partner for good. Ivory, already into heavy heavy drug use by the time he was in his late teen years, became Viper's apprentice in the narcotics division. Within a few months, he was bored of it and moved on to work as a prostitute. Ivory worked long hours and often neglected to eat or sleep. He became withdrawn and kept to himself. Ivory had suffered with body image issues through his entire life, which only heightened when he joined the escort division. He developed bulimia. Alexei would blame Ivory for his own struggles with the eating disorder (not that Ivory really had anything to do with it). Alexei was getting increasingly more annoyed with Ivory because of his work. He had started seeing Rhapsody on the side. Ivory met Friendly Chemist at a party he was hired to work at. The Chemist took an immediate liking to him and wanted nothing more to be his best friend. At the time, Ivory was sturggling with fertility issues. He had wanted a child with Alexei, but nothing ever came of it. Ivory was devastated and it left a large rift between the pair. Ivory had plans of leaving the Mafia entirely and raising a family with Alexei. Instead, Alexei grew cold towards Ivory, breaking his wrist by pushing him down the stairs at one point. Ivory channeled his anger into a string of murders, much like his mother had. It didn't take long for Friendly Chemist to be captured by Maxine because of his business affairs. Ivory openly defended Chemist, leading to Maxine shooting him. Maxine panicked and 'gifted' Ivory to one of her associates overseas, purely because she couldn't be bothered to owning up to his mistake of shooting him. Ivory was in very poor condition. During his recovery, he suffered a minor stroke that caused him loss of balance, some speech issues, and most notably, his inability to walk on his own. Ivory was sent back to Headquarters when he was determined of little value. No one expected for Ivory to be alive. Viper was overjoyed. Alexei was quick to get back together with Ivory, but that didn't last long. Ivory was devastated when Alexei ran away to Japan with Rhapsody to live with Grateful. Very soon after, Viper was killed in the final attack against the Mafia's headquarters building. Ivory was the last to know that Alexei had committed suicide after Maxine's death. Upon recieving that information, Ivory left the Mafia entirely when he was thirty. He brought Snow with him and repurchased the first bakery that Viper had ever owned, with the help of Shard. The three of them lived in the cramped apartment together, as all of the assets they would have inherited from Viper were tied to the Mafia. Ivory became an author and based his stories around his experience with the Mafia and Alexei. Much to everyone's surprise, Ivory quit drugs and prostitution and paid attention to Snow instead. He held onto his struggles with eating and self worth for his entire life.
