Hello!
Me again! Heather here! This is Maks and I will try and keep this short. That'll never work. XD

He's a Durmstrang man, who came over for the Triwizard. He used to play Quidditch with Viktor and Anzelm on their school team. He's Russian and goes by Maks, never Ivan. His family is old money and actually comes from the Russian aristocracy. Remember how the Malfoys tried to keep in with the Muggle royalty? That's a game the Volkovs played and won. Or they did, until the downfall of the Tsar when his great great grandfather was brutally murdered in front of his entire family. So, no hang ups there, then.

The Triwizard was a fun time for him because it set him up for his future career. He is now an interpreter and translator for the ICW, British seats, as he speaks five languages - Russian, English, Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish. Being something of a Scandinavia specialist, he's picking up Danish in his spare time because he's totally normal, you guys!

He and Taryn have been engaged for two years and they plan to marry in April 2006 at his family's estate in Russia. Right now, they have a place in the Cotswolds while they commute in opposite directions. They attended the Yule Ball together and dated ever since. When the war broke out, she went to stay with his family in Russia to keep her safe from Umbridge and her machinations - My head canon is that either Viktor (via Fleur) or Fleur herself tipped them off.

Any way, PLOT WITH ME IM EXCITED.
