Ivan Rovin

=Ivan Rovin= Prophet Ivan holds a revered position within the annals of Essentism history. Originating from Rodinnbrok in Eldham, he arose as a beacon of faith for early essentist during his era, leading the human demon slayers and warriors of Eldham. His leadership was deeply rooted in the teachings of the All-creator and Essentist scholars of that era. Ivan, beyond his warrior instincts, possessed a heart that resonated with the messages of angels of pure light, making him a conduit for the universal truth of the Essentism faith. The tales of Prophet Ivan and Yekhariel, as detailed in this article, are drawn from the revered "Codex Infernach", penned by Liberatus.

JormundarVaka
Prophet Ivan was a key figure of an underground Essentist 'doomsday cult' called JormundarVaka in Rodinnbrok, which believed that the town was destined to be devoured by Jorm, a world-eating worm. Although the inhabitants revered Jorm as a deity for the blessings he bestowed upon them, the cult was convinced that this benevolence was merely Jorm's way of lulling them into complacency before his ultimate consumption. To safeguard their mission and beliefs, the cult operated secretly. A core tenet of their ideology was a deep-rooted animosity towards demons, with a sworn oath to eradicate them from Eldham. Their consequential descent into hell marked a turning point in their crusade against demonic entities.



Notable events:

 * The Lugal'gael Campaign: With an aim to vanquish a formidable Demon King and penetrate an ancient artifact, Jormund's uvula, with a special sword, Ivan led a secret contingent into a city in hell. His adventures took him to the outskirts of the hell city of Lugal'gael. Here, while camped, Ivan and his warriors shared Angaelic prayers, inadvertently drawing the attention of Yekhariel, a demon who would later become a prophet.


 * Encounter with Yekhariel: An unexpected twist in the mission was his encounter with Yekhariel, a demon under the servitude of the Demon King. Yekhariel's innocent misinterpretation of Ivan's contingent, due to their tribal warpaint, led to an amusing exchange. However, the interaction turned profound when Ivan introduced Yekhariel to the teachings of Essentism. This conversation paved the path for Yekhariel's conversion to Essentism and eventual role as a prophet.
 * Sacrifice of his eye: Prophet Ivan's bond with Yekhariel deepened over time. Ivan famously sacrificed one of his eyes, offering it to Yekhariel, enabling the demon to read Angaelic save his own life and cast a spell that would destroy Jorm's uvula. This act not only cemented their relationship but also reshaped Essentism's foundational understanding of evil.
