Ian Beale is the first reincarnation of Bill Cipher. He is the creator of the cartoon Mizar the Magnificent.

Physical description

He’s about 5’8”, and an absolute noodle of a person. He can generally be spotted sporting jeans and pastel t-shirts with cute images on them, usually with a plaid flannel overtop that clashes horribly, though he takes any opportunity to dress up and has an inordinately large collection of bowties. After he loses his right eye, he has it replaced with a state-of-the-art cybernetic implant equipped with a filter that imitates the Sight. It doesn’t look even remotely natural, being a bright gold and occasionally moving independently.[3]

His hair is red and his eyes (later only his left) are blue.

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 heck 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 his lack of omniscience, so he feels insignificant because he is unable to see the connections of everything in the universe.

History

Ian was born and raised in Santa Grenda, New California. He was 25 years old in 3012,[2] and was born in 2987.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

Relationships

Mira Ramachandran

Mira is a Mizar reincarnation and Ian's girlfriend. They eventually decide to get married in Gravity Falls.

Dipper Pines

Dipper was incredibly distrustful of Ian upon meeting him, and attacked him. He broke Ian's arm out of rage that he would ever approach a Mizar, but was stopped by Mira before he could do more.

They eventually patch up their relationship at Mira's insistence, though Dipper is still suspicious of Ian.

Rosa Darling

Ian's best friend and reincarnation of Gideon Gleeful.

Lydia, Violet, and Joy

Lydia, Violet, and Joy are Mira and Ian's daughters. The first two were biological, whereas Joy was adopted. After trying to manipulate him with her over the top cuteness in an attempt to convince him to adopt her, he did just that, knowing that she was in bad need of some guidance.[4]

Just as Mizar the Magnificent is a love letter to Mira, Ian makes a show for the girls as well. It's a Calvin and Hobbes-meets-Beetlejuice story about three small girls and their eldritch uncle, as well as snarky fairy godmother who is constantly at odds with him. Their adventures usually quickly devolve into surreal borderline horror that alarms adult watchers and delights children.

On Twitter, he refers to Lydia as ElderGod, Violet as MiddleBeast (or Zarglhof Beast of the Middle Realm), and Joy as TheEnd (or The End of All Things).[5][6][7] Lydia and Violet once asked for a goldfish, and he got them an axolotl instead.[8]
