Ivor is a major character and the former secondary antagonist of Minecraft: Story Mode developed by Telltale Games. Serving as the former secondary antagonist of Season Pass, and a supporting character by Season Two. He is voiced by the late Paul Reubens. He first appeared in "The Order of the Stone".
He is a disgruntled former member of The Order of the Stone who quit due to their lies. In retaliation, Ivor spawned the Wither Storm to prove that the Order are frauds. After redeeming himself, he becomes a good mentor to Jesse.
Overview
Appearance
Ivor has slick black hair - which, as of Season Two, has been tied into a topknot, a long beard and wears an olive green coat and pants. He also wears a belt with a lapis lazuli gem on it. In one of the flashbacks, he was shown to have armor with an olive and blue tinge to it. He also wore fingerless gloves and gold boots. He also wears a white tank top with blue and white striped boxers under his "adventuring clothes" as shown in Episode 8.
Personality
Ivor first appears to be grumpy, impatient, cynical, and arrogant. He spoke rudely to others and displayed zero patience for anyone getting in the way of his plans. Ivor shows little care for others, focusing instead on his own ideas and desires.
As the story progressed, however, the truth about the Order of the Stone was discovered and Ivor's true motives with creating the Wither Storm were revealed: Ivor's only goal was to show the world the Order of the Stone were liars. His intentions had never been to get others hurt. He redeems himself by helping Jesse defeat the Wither Storm and warning them about the Wither Storms following the Amulet. He expresses remorse when he finds out that Jesse had Gabriel's Amulet and thus, the Wither Storms were following them. This further shows that, while Ivor may be selfish, he doesn't intend for his actions to cause anyone genuine harm.
Ivor has since become a supporting character who accompanies the New Order of the Stone on their adventures, now he is on good terms with them. He is shown to be much more excitable, but is still very eccentric and thinks himself to be greater than the "lower" community, as shown by his occasional distaste when others do not support his more out-of-the-box behavior. While he does not overtly talk about his care for the New Order of the Stone, he is shown to care for their safety and does not resent their company. Most notably, he assists Jesse in several instances if the player fails a quick-time event.
Background
Ivor, Soren, Gabriel, Ellegaard, and Magnus were once members of The Order of the Stone, a group of supposed legendary heroes. Along with the others, he embarked on many adventures until they entered the legend by defeating the Ender Dragon. However, Ivor left the Order due to their lies about their legend and nothing more than frauds: Instead of lifetime experience, study, and training, all of the Order members' powers and abilities were in fact, secretly granted by Soren with the use of the Command Block's reality-warping ability. In spite of them being able to use their granted powers for their early adventures, the Order is ultimately not ready against the Ender Dragon in their supposed legendary battle, prompting Soren to use Command Block again to destroy the Dragon, this time, in front of his friends. Gabriel, Ellegaard, and Magnus tolerated Soren when he revealed that his Command Block was the source of their powers, and even agreed to make up the story of their supposed legendary battle to avoid facing ridicule for incapability to defeat the Ender Dragon. Since that moment, despite the Order giving him all their treasures in exchange for keeping the truth secret, he vowed to get revenge on all of the Order and came up with the idea to summon a special Wither, with the command block used to defeat the Ender Dragon.

Relationships
Jesse
- "Ivor's awesome."
- —Jesse to Petra about Ivor. (Determinant) src
In the beginning, Ivor and Jesse were enemies. However, when Jesse finds out that Ivor is not a bad guy, their relationship becomes much more stable and they become good friends. Jesse also thinks that Ivor sometimes makes them laugh. Ivor also shows compassion for Jesse by helping them when in trouble, even saving their life at one point. He also shows a lot of care for Jesse through him returning when he heard of Jesse cannot be found on the surface and not realizing the Admin was the fake Jesse but “helped” him to kill the “imposter” which was the real Jesse.
Petra
- "Yes, though she can be impulsive and fly off the handle, Petra's survival instincts are very sharp."
- —Ivor about Petra. (Determinant) src
Petra and Ivor do not have a good relationship with each other due to him scamming her on their deal by giving her a lapis instead of a diamond. As of Episode 5, Petra is the only person who still holds a grudge against Ivor. Throughout the episode, Petra is constantly angry at him and disliked Ivor's idea of getting arrested to get in the palace, so she did not go with him. In Episode 6, Petra appreciated Ivor volunteering to watch over Lukas. She also said "Nope, not happening" when Ivor thought that he was going to be killed next by the White Pumpkin, showing that Petra deeply cared for Ivor.
Lukas
- "But don't go getting any funny ideas, blond guy! This isn't because I like you or anything."
- —Ivor to Lukas, when he decides to watch over Lukas. src
At first, Lukas and Ivor weren't shown interacting, but due to Ivor scamming Petra on a deal, Lukas presumably held a grudge against him. However, when the truth about the Order and Ivor's true motives were revealed, Lukas' opinion about him changes. Since then, they are shown to have a basic, yet positive relationship. Ivor also volunteers to help Lukas in Episode 6, showing he cares about him as well, though Ivor denies he does. When Ivor appears without his "adventuring clothes," Lukas finds his appearance funny and says he can't take him seriously looking like that, which Ivor responds to by saying his outfit breathes wonderfully.
The Old Order of the Stone
Ivor was the fifth member of The Old Order before they disbanded. In "Above and Beyond", he says he wants to "heal the rift" with them, after everything he's done.
Harper
- "You're amazing..."
- —Ivor after Harper returns to Crown Mesa/leaves the gang. src
Ivor is shown to respect Harper. He empathizes with her, possibly because they both have a similar history with both their creations going out of hand. He even calls her an "intriguing person". In episode 8, Ivor may have developed an interest to Harper, as he kept the rose from her laboratory. In Hero in Residence, it is confirmed that they now live happily together in Beacontown and also go on adventures together.

Trivia
- Ivor is the first person to create a major antagonist, the Wither Storm, in the series.
- In Episode 1, when Ivor comes through the Nether Portal, Jesse has an option to punch him. Later, Jesse can apologize about punching him when his true motives are discovered.
- Jesse can also try to punch him in The Underneath, but Ivor, with his new ninja skills, will dodge it.
- Unlike the rest of the Order of the Stone, Ivor's skill is never mentioned. However, he is shown to be an alchemist/enchanter/mage due to his frequent usage of potions and enchantments.
- Ivor breaks the fourth wall in "A Portal to Mystery" by winking at the player and saying "Adventure!"
- He does it again in the ending of "Access Denied", except it ends with a question mark.
- This appears to be a gag, as at the end of "A Journey's End?", he runs off with the Enchanted Flint and Steel and the Atlas and says it again, offscreen.
- In the Adventure Pass thumbnail, Ivor seems to have a second appearance with his armor, except with no helmet on.
- In Episode 7, after Jesse kills an un-chipped zombie, Ivor's sword appears to be a stone sword from the one side and a gold one from the other.
- Based on some of his comments and his keeping a rose from Episode 8, Ivor may have a romantic interest in Harper.
- This however, might have been purely platonic, and just a compliment to Harper.
- Ivor is seen without his "Adventuring Clothes" in "A Journey's End?". He appears to wear a white tank top and striped blue shorts, much to Jesse's (determinant) and Lukas' amusement.
- Ivor is the only member of the Old Order who has appeared in all episodes in Season 1.
- Ivor is also the only member to make a full appearance in Season 2. The other members are mentioned, but not seen in person.
- Ivor says the very same thing the Narrator says in the beginning of Episode 1: "Nothing built can last forever". This is said to Gabriel when Ivor is about to create the Wither Storm.
- Ivor was a member of the Order of the Stone who left/got kicked out due to the rest of the group's lies about the Ender Dragon.
- One of Ivor's favorite things is lava, as shown in his lava house and his lava "heart" in Sky City.
- Ivor is the only character to be in the Old Order of the Stone and the New Order of the Stone.
- Ivor is the only member of The Old Order of the Stone to appear in Season 2.
- If one notices, Ivor's sword in "Below the Bedrock" is longer than a normal diamond sword, similar to Emily's.
- Back when Ivor made an appearance in Episode 1 of Season 2, Eric had written a scene depicting Jesse visiting Ivor and Harper's lab seeking assistance with the Gauntlet. In the scene, Ivor's lab would have been adorned with numerous notes and contraptions, all aimed at aiding his quest to locate or establish contact with Soren, which had consumed his thoughts. Harper, while being supportive, would have also tried to gently encourage Ivor to let go and move on for his own well-being. It was a heartfelt scene, and Eric always felt disappointed that they were unable to include it in the final version.[1]
- Ivor’s voice actor, Paul Reubens, died at age 70.
