Ivan Perez is a fictional character from The City: Houston. He was one of the four original characters, but left the series in season 2. He returned in season 5, remaining there until season 9, when he was killed off. He will return from the dead in season 11.

Season 1
Ivan first appeared as one of the four original characters. Prior to his first appearance, he was already in a committed relationship with Bianca. In July 2009, Ivan proposed to Bianca, where she accepts and they get married a month later.

Season 2
Although they entered a new era in their lives, things spiraled out of control that led to the end of them. For weeks and months, they were bickering and arguing about who cheated or hooked up with somebody else. After nonstop fighting, they divorced and Ivan returned to his hometown in Mexico City, while Bianca went to move to Miami.

Season 5
Ivan made his return to Houston after two years being at home. However, prior to his return, he began to grow to his dark side, where he did marijuana and was even sent to prison for two years because of marijuana possession. Outside of that, he met with Autumn and they went out on a few dates. Their relationship would end though, as Ivan ditched one of their dates to do marijuana. Damian arrived at his home, but he ends up becoming addicted to the smell of pot and actually sleeps with him. That would result the end of Damian's relationship with Arman, as he found Damian with Ivan, dumping him for good. After that, Ivan ends his pot taking, but Damian takes advantage of it and holds Ivan at hostage. Ivan, however, managed to get some sense to him, and Damian later serves three months in jail.

Season 6
After Damian finished his sentence, Ivan resumes his relationship with him. That is where things start to heat up, but not between them. Joshua attempted to steal Damian from Ivan, but Damian rejected him. Once he did that, Joshua shoots Damian in the head, nearly killing him. Damian does the same thing to him, but Joshua ends up remaining alive. Later, Joshua kidnaps Arman, but both Ivan and Damian shoot Joshua in the head, killing him again. Following those two shootouts, Damian grows distance from Ivan and ends up cheating on him with his ex-boyfriend, Arman.

Season 7
Ivan is forced to be removed from his home, after being evicted for not bringing the apartments enough money to remain there. Arman finds him, crying in his car, and suddenly kisses him. Joshua films this and reveals it to Damian, which causes him to get Arman in a coma by shooting him in the head. Ivan became furious with Damian, telling him Arman only kissed Ivan to make him feel better. Later, though, Ivan forgives him. After his breakup with Johsua, Damian tries to convince Ivan into giving him another chance. Despite taking time to decide, Ivan ends up giving him a second chance. After months of starting over, Damian was ready to become a part of his life by proposing to him. Ivan accepts, and things were going great, until Damian was involved in a three car accident. When Ivan saw Damian kiss Drew, Ivan ends the engagement.

Season 8
Now all alone, Ivan was beginning to mark an end of an era at Houston. However, Bianca stops him before he could go anywhere. Ivan missed Bianca over the past few years, and he wanted to get back together. At first, Bianca did not want to start over, but because he was thinking a whole lot about him, Ivan and Bianca reinstated their relationship. They promised each other to take things slow, but they break the promise and they have sex. Bianca got pregnant, and the couple decided to raise the baby. Sadly, the unborn baby died, leading to Bianca breaking up with Ivan. She still remained friends with him, but she realized that they were unable to be committed with each other like eight years ago. They decide to tell everybody about the failed pregnancy, which upset them, since they could've done something to support him. They had to forgive them when Arman had sex with Bianca, which resulted her getting STD. Despite not dying, she and the others shunned and abused Arman. Later, when Bianca was feeling depressed, Bianca burned down Ivan's house, where she tearfully left town. Ivan, in the other hand, was allowed to stay at Damian's home until he could afford a new home. They eventually got closer and Damian cheats on Arman with Ivan.
