"Compromise is the death of innovation" - Ivan Beck Ivan Beck is the vice director of the Async Research Institute and presumably the one who proposed the idea for the Backrooms. He held a press conference in April of 1988 where he talked about the new project. He described the then undiscovered dimension as a solution to all current and future storage needs. He was present during the interview with a doctor who performed the autopsy on Nicolas Bolton, and the baffled doctor asked where the body came from. He is very serious about the project and will not abandon it no matter the cost. Not much is currently known about him, although there is a theory that he is the actual Director of Async, he presents himself as Vice Director to avoid certain forms of accountability.
