At long last, the Ten Years War had a winner. Ivan defeated Seamus at the battle of Horncrest, sending him to jail for the rest of his days. Any lingering ambiguity is no more: Seamus is a treacherous madman who must never be allowed to sit of the Holy Throne. Seamus' parley offer was only a trap to lure Ivan to Falcon Hill, where assassins from the Blades of Erebos ambushed the Duke of Griffin. He rides with his councilors and a retinue of soldiers to Falcon Hill, where the meeting is set to take place. A man of his word, Ivan decides to meet Seamus to hear his proposal, even if he already knows he will turn the offer down. The Council convinces Ivan only he can rebuild the Empire and restore the nation of Light's past glory. Nonetheless, he decides to gather his Council one last time to hear their advice before taking his final decision. After ten years of war, Ivan is battle-weary and is willing to discuss a peaceful resolution with his last adversary, Seamus of Stag. Though every Duchy could lay a blood claim, and the line of Stag had historically been considered the heir apparent, the choice of Ivan as the successor started gaining momentum, until war broke out. He was amiable, a proven administrator of state, and possessed a piercing charisma. When the civil wars of the Falcon succession broke out, many saw Ivan as the most intelligent solution to succeed Maeve of Falcon.
