Sergei Dmitrovich Izvekov was a Russian colonist on Haven. He sought the hand of Ana Päts, daughter of Estonian farmer Anton Päts. Anton was enraged by Izvekov's fawning courtship and attempts to curry favor, and visualized himself breaking the Russian in half like a stick. However, this changed abruptly after the two men bonded by saving each other's lives during the Aydin ClanTatars' invasion of Tallinn Town, and Päts told Izvekov that he would be a welcome addition to the family if Ana would have him.
