He first appears in "Bullets and Thorns".

The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much: His death was officially ruled as a car accident.

It's all but explicitly revealed that Replacer Queen orchestrated Ian's death.
Defector from Decadence: Despite joining the Replacer Syndicate willingly at first and believing in their goals, he quickly became disillusioned with them after seeing their methods and turned against them.

Yoo Mina's school friend, and brother of Shin Narae, the Replacer Bishop. He was killed in a Corruption disaster in Mina's school days.
