DESCRIPTION: Ianto stands at 5'11" and 170 lbs. He's a taller bloke with dark brown/black hair, and pensive blue eyes. He wears worn jeans, whatever shirts he can find in his bags, and always seems a little haggard. He stands perfectly straight as if there was a steel rod instead of a spine. He typically has five o'clock shadow going on, and his hair is typically mussed a bit because he's always running his hands through it. He's got a bit of a cleft in his chin, and often has an almost curious look on his face.

PATRONUS: Fox. The thoughts of his niece still alive are all he needs to bring joy to his heart.
BOGGART: Bodies. He sees the bodies of his family on the ground, with their varying types of brutal death easy to read. He can't ever get rid of that image.
MIRROR OF ERISED: For Ianto, who's a realist at heart, he doesn't wish for his family back. He wishes for those in power to die for what they have done.

HABITS: Ianto's biggest habit is running his hands through his hair all the time. He's stopped trying to keep it in order from how often he seems to run his hands through his hair. His eyebrows seem to have a life of their own when he's nervous, serious, or emotional, as they seem to dance along his brow in a billion different ways. He clicks his teeth when he's mad, and has a bad habit of tsking under his breath when he's annoyed.
PET PEEVE: Not having a plan or not sticking to the plan devised is Ianto's single biggest pet peeve. He has mild OCD and control issues, so when things he purposely puts in order are misplaced or out of order, he gets extremely annoyed. He also has come to hate salesmen for some odd reason. He doesn't like talking to shop keeps in the stores if he can help it.

STRENGTHS:
• Organized; Ianto is good at keeping things in order, keeping to the plan, and making sure that everything has its place. He's a man of pre-planning and careful thinking. His actions are almost always thought out before hand.
• Smart; Sometimes you've gotta wonder if Ianto was placed in the wrong house. He's smart, clever almost, and one would think that he's an endless fount of knowledge. But honestly he does his homework all the time. Always researches everything before hand to make sure he knows all the details. Going in blind just isn't an option for him.
• Controlled; despite the fact that he's always fighting with his inner turmoil and emotions, Ianto keeps a strict hand on those emotions (most of the time). He's hard to read because he's schooled his face into a thoughtful, almost curious expression and never deviates from it. His voice is like wise calm, and oddly deep.
• Loyal; above everything else, he is loyal. Currently his loyalities are divided between two people. Glenda and Evie. Everyone else can go burn in a fire for all he cares, except maybe the other Isis members. And that's a maybe until he figures out who they are, and how they tick. And then he's likely to not care if they burn in a fire either.
• DADA; his single best subject in school, and he's considered something of a pro when it comes to defense against the dark arts. He's good with counter balancing a lot of the darker curses and what not on objects more than anything else, and has had a few run ins with what he calls unsavory sorts of werewolves and vampires (the sort that like to kill you), and come out alive. He's gotta be doing something right.
• Physiologically Smart; Years of being an Auror has given him a bit of an edge about people. He was always good at speaking to people, getting inside their heads, and figuring out the why. Often when you find out the why for actions, you find out the how, and so he refined this 'art' of figuring things out without actually delving into someone's mind through the years though he's had no actual training.

WEAKNESSES:
• Triggers; Ianto is in control of his emotions 95% of the time. However, he is constantly waging a war within himself over these emotions, and has a few 'triggers'. Should any of these triggers pop up out of no where (i.e. his wife isn't really dead, and that information would rock his world) he would completely shut down. He wouldn't be able to think nor process correctly.
• Thinking on the fly; He can't wing it. There's a plan, and you've gotta stick to the plan. He might have one or two back up plans, but that's as far as it goes. He just gets frustrated when things don't go the way they're supposed to.
• Suicidal; Borderline, but Ianto finds it hard to keep it together most days. He's dabbled in a few things (drinking, drugs, etc) but he doesn't like how he looses control under them. He refuses to take any sort of medication because once again, he likes to be in control of himself. He's driven by vengeance and loyalty. Should he ever actually succeed in revenge, or should his loyalties become severed for some reason, he wouldn't know what to do with himself.
• OCD; Mildly at least, he once again has control issues. He packs carefully, and keeps his own personal areas almost rigidly in control at all times. Everything will quickly have its place once he's settled into a spot, and it will not be moved unless it must be used. And then it's put right back into place. He once was just as controlled over his appearance, keeping himself in suits with his fave cleanly shaven and his hair perfectly in order. Now he's limited it to his things because he just can't put that kind of effort on himself anymore.
• Anger Issues; it's a very good thing that Ianto is not a werewolf. He finds himself easily annoyed and angered, even if he doesn't always show it clearly. People just get on his nerves like no tomorrow. At least most of them.
• Jerk; Easy enough to guess, Ianto isn't a nice guy anymore. Once upon a time he was a wonderful man who could have been anyone's friend, happy and constantly smiling. Now he doesn't trust anyone except for Evie (not even fellow Isis members) and he's a downright ass to just about everyone. Don't expect him to treat you with nice words.

TRAITS: Ianto Sayer is a man on the edge of something. He just doesn't know if that something is grand with purpose or dark with cruel intentions. Every single day is a struggle to get past his coiling emotions, grief, and anger. He manages though, every day to get out of bed and pull himself together somehow, someway. Even though its been years he's plagued by nightmares every night and he can't wash the images away. He thinks often and hard of the death of those he considers responsible for the deaths of his family.

He use to have faith in a lot of things. People, the government, even God, but he's lost his faith in a way that he feels like he can't recover it. He's a brittle man, rigid like cold steel, and almost breakable. He doesn't like to think of himself as breakable, but it's easy to read if you really know his life. Evie gave him a sense of purpose, so he feels like he owes her his life in a way, because without her and Glenda, he would have ended his life when it all happened.

HISTORY:
Ianto and his twin brother Iwan were born to a Welsh Wizard and an American Witch. Their mother was a muggle born raised by religious parents, and so the boys were raised very religious like. Their father was actually a rich, well to do pure blood from an old family who didn't like his choice of muggle born wife, but dealt with it. All in all, he had a loving, caring family, and was raised to be a gentleman. He sat straight, spoke politely, and always said grace. In fact, unlike his twin brother, Ianto hardly ever acted out as a kid. He always did what his mother told him to do, and tried hard to keep his brother out of trouble.

Though the boys were born in Cardiff, their mother missed home shortly after their fifth birthday. Thus the entire family packed up and moved to America. Ianto doesn't have many memories of Cardiff. The boys went to Salem together, and that was were he met the love of his life, Anna who was just a few years younger than the boys. He started dating her shortly after her fourth year and his sixth. He graduated, and he quickly became an Auror. Things were just smoothly going into place.

Of course, logically speaking for the logical man, there was only one course of action in his mind. He proposed to Anna, and they were quickly wed when Ianto was 23. His brother was the best man, his mother cried, and everything (at least to him) was perfect. Sadly, Anna was unable to have kids, but they continued to love each other just as strongly as they had at the start of their relationship. Life to Ianto Sayer was perfect. He had his dream job, his dream woman, and his family. He could ask for no more. Of course his story is not a happy one, and thus bad things were bound to happen.

His brother Iwan married a muggle, and had a beautiful little girl. Sadly, the girl was easily picked out as a squib at a young age. His brother decided to attempt to turn his back on the magical world for the sake of his wife and his child. Of course Iwan couldn't fully do this, as his family was just as important to him as it was to Ianto. Things of course just couldn't stay good. His parents, his wife, and his brother became actively involved in taking a stand against Dark Wizards without Ianto ever knowing. He would have encouraged their efforts, but scolded them for not being safer about things.

Ianto was called away on emergency at work one day, while his brother was visiting. He came home to a scene that replays in his mind every night. His brother, his wife, and somehow his parents were all dead in the kitchen. Blood was everywhere. There was no sign of Glenda, but it turned out that she had gone to play with some children down the road. Ianto picked her up, and though it killed him at the time he knew that he had to keep her safe. So he sent her away to some distant relatives of her mother's, and he's kept himself as much out of her life as possible to keep safe. That was six years ago.

At first he had nothing to live for. In fact, he has a few scars on his wrists from where he attempted to take his life in his grief. Anger quickly replaced most of his sorrow and he began to ferret out who had been responsible for this. He's been obsessed with this for about five years. He heard about Evie and Isis through some old friends of his, and well the rest is history. He's apart of Isis, and he's out to do some damage anyway he can.
