CharacterCruzkowa Bosyeltnov, known by the nickname Blindfold Ivan, is a Russian former intelligence agent turned criminal boss in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

Appearance
Cruzkowa is a full-body cyborg who wears the face of a young woman even though her true age is thought to be nearing eighty. Blonde hair and blue eyes complete a deceptively fresh look that conceals decades of history beneath the surface.
Personality
Her chosen line of work paints a cold and calculating figure. Directing a network built on abduction and the sale of harvested organs, she treats human lives as little more than merchandise, a hardened outlook forged over a long career in clandestine operations.
History
Cruzkowa built her early career inside Russian Foreign Intelligence, running covert special-operations assignments out of Southeast Asia through the late twentieth century. Suggestions that she is pushing eighty place her birth somewhere in the 1950s, though her cybernetic body hides that entirely. In the present she has traded espionage for organized crime, serving as a ringleader in the mass-kidnapping and organ-trafficking scheme operated by the Northern Territories Mafia.
