First Appearance

Ian is a clone who is identical in appearance to Sean Collins, but he has been genetically enhanced and created to be "superior." He is the proclaimed Crown Prince of Saturn was formerly a member of The Golden Court under The Tyrant. He now rules over a settlement on the Moon of Mimas of resurrected Saturnian civilians.

Creation and Mission

Ian's creation was both a planned scheme and an accident. Nucleoid had plotted to try and clone Sean to create a Saturnian servant for The Tyrant who would be stronger, faster, and deadlier than the original, and loyal to her court. This clone would be used to ensure the Tyrant's claim to Saturn in the Sol as well, by using the royal bloodline that resided within Sean. Nucleoid was successful in subduing and capturing his selected prey, but the method of cloning came with many difficulties and failures as the clone embryos kept dying, never developing a star seed to connect them to the Planet itself. Nucleoid concluded that he would need to steal Sean's true Star Seed to see if he could clone it instead. With all his collected samples of flesh and bone from his subject, he was more than happy to risk losing the original for this final attempt to create his clone.

The collection of the true star seed did not go as planned. In his attempt to remove the true star seed, Nucleoid's contraption and methods caused the Star Seed to crack, unleashing a powerful wave of force that destroyed the lab. Nucleoid was disappointed to find that his attempt to claim the whole star seed had failed, but he did managed to recover a shard. Before he could do more damage to his captive, Nucleoid was forced to gather his remaining samples and retreat as Sean's allies had located him due to the destruction of the dampening devices in place. Sean was recovered by the Earth Allies, but with a damaged and cracked Star Seed, he was slowly dying in a comatose state. Banding together, the Earth allies used their abilities and channeled their energies into Sean's true star seed to reforge and heal it.

By reforging Sean's star seed, they did not know that their efforts were also resonating upon the shard taken by Nucleoid, thus reforging the shard into a cloned star seed, and creating a second life. Nucleoid was surprised by this turn of events, and began working on one more clone, and placing the new star seed into the embryo. The star seed accepted this newly created host, and the clone was able to maintain its life force, and grow quickly. The clone soon awoke and broke free from his capsule, and was greeted by Nucleoid and Doom Phantom. They gave him the name of Ian, a simple variant from his original's name. Nucleoid instructed Ian on his abilities and enhancements, and how Ian was superior to the Original "unworthy son of Saturn". With what cloned memories he had, he was also provided further education about his planet, species, purpose, and mission.

The Defamation of Saturn Knight

Taking up residence in a hidden base on the moon of Mimas, Nucleoid and Doom Phantom plotted with Ian on how they would start their mission to destroy and replace the original "Unworthy Son" and gain favor in the Golden Court. Nucleoid considered even presenting Ian to the Tyrant as a sort of consort, but was refused as the Tyrant preferred her own harem of obedient male servants. Ian, as well, had no interest in gaining a queen at this time. He was too focused on eliminating his "rival" and taking his proper place as the true prince. Knowing of Sean's current mental condition being affected by Nucleoid's torture and experimentation on him while he was a captive, Ian decided to exploit this to drive Sean into a state of confusion and madness, and to try and turn his friends and allies against him, and possibly execute him as a criminal.

Due to the past, and the fall of the Silver Millenium, Sean habored a deep seeded hatred for youma. Doom Phantom decided this should be exploited as the means to start the downfall of the Senshi Knight. Doom Phantom proposed that they murder the adopted youma child of a resident in the Hotel, Katerina Markov, and allow Sean to take the blame for the crime.
