He is the firstborn of Annika Bersk, from House Bersk. They are a newly made house in the magocratic city of Veltalar (her mother is a sorceress, of humble origins but with the discovery of her powers, she got herself a husband, a title and a house).
Ivor has not shown any signs of sorcery so he had decided to help his family ascending the social pyramid by using his charm and his skills in the bureaucratic office; and so he did for some years.
One day though, something changed, powers were discovered yet not entirely his, so he decided to travel in search for glory, fame, power and riches in order to get back and keep on helping his family.

Apparently, he loves: himself, his family and draconic creatures.
