None of this nonsense of laser beam watches, sports cars packing more firepower than a tank, or having a License to Smite, please. Ian is a professional. That means that, hopefully, it spends a lot of time in the field being bored. If things get exciting, that means that somebody screwed up somewhere.

As has been mentioned elsewhere, the Archangel of Trade (in conjunction with the Archangels of Protection and Revelations) has a very good intelligence agency, and Ian is one of its senior field operatives. It gets called in on those fairly rare occasions where constant surveillance is a necessity: thanks to Zadkiel's Choir Attunement, Ian can more or less passively ride within a host involved in sensitive operations and simply keep an eye open. This requires inhuman patience, but luckily Ian's not human.

When things get slightly exciting, Ian's ability to multitask is an invaluable espionage tool. It will routinely rapidly possess numerous individuals, using each of them to extract a piece of the intelligence needed. This minimizes the risk to any one individual host, and also makes it virtually impossible for later investigators to detect leaks (or, ideally, even discover that there was a leak in the first place). When things get really exciting, well, that's when Ian's life starts to resemble the plot of a bad spy novel. Ian dislikes that quite severely, but sometimes it can't be helped.

Personally, Ian is a very patient, slightly humorless, and painfully precise entity. It constantly worries about dissonance, and is thus utterly intolerant of any celestial interference in one of its operations. In fact, Ian would rather encounter demons than fellow-angels: one can use more … direct … neutralization methods on the former than the latter. There are a few angels out there that Ian grudgingly trusts to not wreck whatever convoluted, subtle scenario it may be working on, but such trust doesn't come cheap. Angels that gratuitously interfere with the angel - or worse, wreck an operation through clumsiness - will very soon discover why it's a bad idea, politically, to bother someone with a Master-level Distinction.

Unfortunately, Ian doesn't always get to run a solo operation. Marc will sometimes offer its services to other Archangels, for whatever reason: the angel will naturally expect to have overall control of the scenario, and will usually get it. Ian is a tough taskmaster, but a fair one: angels that do their jobs will get proper credit. Getting a favorable reaction from this angel is well worth it. Of course, loose cannons will get proper credit, too.

Despite Ian's prejudices, the angel is usually happy enough to accept outside assignments. Working for three Archangels, more or less, has taught Ian that the more potential sources of aid, the better: its current ambition is to do Novalis enough favors to warrant getting her Kyriotate Attunement. Nobody does security checks on office plants, after all…
