## Biography

### *Soukyuu no Fafner Exodus*

Ian is working on the Gobain manga along with Tamotsu Kodate and Ian says that Canon Hazama is amazing for someone so young to be training for being an engineer, telling Tamotsu that she wants to learn from him. Ian wonders if the manga is going to be any use as educational material to which Tamotsu responds that he couldn't turn down a request from Ikumi Nishio. Deciding to take a break, the duo go to the Rakuen for some curry. Ian is in the hangar when a Human Army transport carrier is being chased by the Festum and confirms that the Fafners are functioning normally.

Ian is in a meeting with some Alvis personnel and says that Mark Drei and Mark Acht are currently used for unmanned mech training, so those Fafners can't be used either. The next day, Ian gathers the newly appeared cores with Youko Hazama and Canon and says that deploying unmanned mechs won't be a dream if they can use the new cores. He quickly shouts to cut off the arm when he sees that the new cores assimilates the equipment. After everything settles down, Ian is in a meeting again and says that the new cores will certainly double their defenses and wonders how it will increase the Fafners' potential. Ian is at the hangar watching the first battle of the third generation pilots and he is amazed that the Goubain manga can really be used as educational material.

To their susprise, Mark Zwolf has restarted while it was badly damaged before and more miracles start to happen which causes everyone at the hangar to wonder what is going on. Ian is with Canon at the rockets that are going to be used to bring Mark Sein and Mark Nicht to Srinagar and Ian comments that they will have to make it work despite finding it an unpleasant job. On their departure day, he makes sure that everything is ready to go along with Youko and Canon.
