Ian was a crawler in a previous Borant Corporation-run season of Dungeon Crawler World. Originally a human, he chose the Bush Elf race and an unspecified (likely druid-based) class. He and his brother both took indentureship deals to exit the Dungeon.
Ian usually works as an attendant in Club Vanquisher, but is working "urban janitor duty" for Dungeon Crawler World: Earth. Although he speaks freely to Carl inside the Registration Arena, he notes, "I ain’t supposed to be talking like this, though. I get in trouble if I break character."[2]
In the last Borant-sponsored season, Vrah murdered Ian's brother for no reason.
AI Description
Ian – Bush Elf. Level 30.
Registration Arena Attendant.
This is a Non-Combatant NPC.
You know those perpetually-depressed, emo kids from high school who always sat on the floor during lunch? If they participated in extracurricular activities, it was always either drama, yearbook committee, or the dreaded anime club. They planned on changing the world with some bullshit cause. They all had jobs at the smoothie place. Then after high school, they just kinda got absorbed by the world, like pouring a dark drink into a rushing stream. You blinked, and they were just gone, along with all of their black hair dye and all of their dreams.
That is a Bush Elf. A once-proud people, almost physically indistinguishable from the ruling class High Elves, Bush Elves are the regular joes of the forest. If you look really close, you can see the wrinkles around their eyes, or the very slight hunch to their backs. A sign of their defeat. They tend to favor druid magic and jobs at places where they’re in cubicles.
Sometimes they remember how strong of a people they once were. [3]
