Ian Beale
Template:CharacterIan is one of Bill's reincarnations, placed directly before Toby on the timeline.
He dated Mira, one of Mabel's reincarnations, and is a story board artist.
He has a morbid sense of humor and what is cute (for example he likes inside out hamsters), and likes triangles, which scares the shit out of 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.
Ian had strong depressions when he was a teen and still has his moments. 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. He has bad nightmares of him being intangible and invisible at the shack. He dreams of to kids playing and living in the house without noticing him at all , no matter what he does. He says it makes him feel non-existent. Dipper eats these nightmares and finds Bill's summoning cicle in Ian's subconcious memories.
Ian's best friend is Rose; a reincarnation of Gideon.
Ian was curious as to who his last life had been and what had made Dipper hate him so much for it. Dipper didn't tell him so he took a test. Goverment saw his results though and kidnapped him. Ian was then held inside white zell for a while untill he was forced into a giant summoning and binding circle, meant to bring Bill out. Dipper and Mira came to his rescue tough, which put the government under pressure and made it use it's trumph 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.
