Ian Beale

Template:CharacterIan is one of Bill's reincarnations, placed directly before Toby on the timeline.

Relationships

Mira

Mira is one of Mabel's reincarnation, as well as Ian's girl friend.

Dipper

When Dipper first met Ian he attacked him and would have killed him if Mira hadn't stopped him. Dipper tries to get along with Ian but can never quite find it in himself to trust him completely.

Rose

Ian's best friend and reincarnation of gideon.

Personality

Ian's idea of what counts as 'cute' is far from conventional (inside out hamsters being a prime example). This goes hand-in-hand with his unusually morbid sense of humor. He also likes triangles, which scares the shit out of Dipper.

Ian suffered heavily from depression as a teen, and even as an adult hasn't completely gotten over his issues. As one of Bill's first reincarnations his soul has problems dealing with the lack of omniscience, so he feels insignificant because he is unable so the see connections of everything in the universe.

History

Ian has had nightmares where he finds himself in the mystery shack, in which he's invisible and largely unable to interact with the world around him. Their are children there, in his dreams, playing and living out their lives. Yet they never notice him, no matter what he does. He says it makes him feel non-existent. Thankfully, Dipper eats these nightmares- only make the worrying discovery of Bill's summoning circle buried within Ian's subconscious memories.

Overtime, as a result of Dipper, Ian grew curious as to just who his previous life had been to have inspired such hatred in the demon. As Dipper refused to tell him, he decided to take a test to figure it out for himself. Unfortunately, the government saw his results and saw fit to kidnap him.

Subsequently, Ian found himself temporarily held prisoner within a white cell. Later, he was forced into a giant summoning/binding circle, meant to bring Bill out. However, it wasn't long before Dipper and Mira came to his rescue, which put the government under pressure and forced them use their trump card: Bill Cipher's real name. With that, Bill took over Ian's body just in time to laugh in Dipper and Mira's face.
