Bastien Fleur Ivanovich is a French-Belarussian great white shark born in Paris, Murk French Republic, Murkatinnya. He is a French chess grandmaster with an inter-universal elo rating of 2887, the highest rating in Arc planet. Fleur began taking up chess at the age of 3, where his elo had surpassed that of his own teachers by the age of 15. In 2008, he hit an elo of 1560, the highest of any 11-year old in history. He became world champion in 2015, and kept his title to present day. Due to his intellectual abilities, he was quickly recognised and hired by Raven Organization, a subsidiary of Boston Labs, where he worked directly alongside Sylver Kyivsma and Theresa Le. He was posted to the main Boston team as part of the fight against the Divinity of Cataclysm and trained directly under them.
Fleur was born to Belarussian and French sharks in the lakes of France. Being a marine animal, he spent most of his life off the shores of Northern Murkatinnya before being taught to breathe on land at 15. At 19, he moved out of his parents house to a permanent settlement in the State of Cho, in the southern Murkatinnya region. Like most marine-amphibians, he lives in a river-house (a regular house, but half of it resides underwater). He now studies at the Intelligence Department of Raven Organisation under Kyivsma.
