Sir Dima Cato Ivanovich Baron of Cherskavy Born: SA 0, Providence Spouse(s): Unwed House: Ivanovich Father: Rickard Ivanovich Mother: Syuzanna Zakharova

Sir Dima Cato Ivanovich was born in Providence, Year 0 of the Second Age. As a Knight of the Holy Orenian Empire, he attended skirmishes and battles on the field, owing fealty to Philip III, Holy Orenian Emperor. Upon his ascent to knighthood, Emperor Philip III recognized his claim to the Margraviate of Styria, to which his grandfather Ilya Ivanovich was the heir before being dubiously stripped of his inheritance by Augustus I, Emperor of Man. Following the Battle of Lower Petra, Dima was made the Baron of Krajia. Later, the name of the baronet title was changed to Baron of Cherskavy. The reasoning for the change in the barony's name fell down to one principal concern. Krajia, linguistically, refers to a borderland or a march in the Raevir tongue, and would not prove a suitable name for a single keep.

On the 13th of the Sun's Smile, Year 71, Sir Dima engaged in a duel with a woman from the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska by the name of Angelika of Vidaus, and was killed by an explosion from a blasting potion she pulled out mid-fight at 71 years old.
