Ian Mason
From MU Wiki
A human boy from Mackenzie's Elemental Invocation class, who is majoring in Elementalism.
Ian first appeared in Chapter 30 as Mackenzie's lab partner in Elemental Invocation. Although he flirted with her before finding out her parentage, upon finding out that she was a Harlowe Hall resident, aka a "Harlowe Harlot", he began to crudely proposition her for sexual favors, causing her to lose concentration and set an accidental fire, burning his hand badly in the process.
In Chapter 37, Ian reappeared, this time to warn Mackenzie that he was questioned somewhat severely about his injuries and who caused them during his trip to the healing center. He did not disclose to this person that Mackenzie was the cause of his injuries, as such questioning is apparently highly irregular and made him suspicious of the questioner's motives.
More recently, in Chapter 41, he invited Mackenzie to be his date for the college dance. While he is still somewhat uncomfortable around her due to her demonic heritage, he seems to have accepted her explanation that she does not have to kill a person to feed, and that virginity is a prerequisite to such feeding, making him somewhat more comfortable in her presence.
In Chapter 65, Ian arrives at the University-sponsored dance with Mackenzie. They spend some time awkwardly trying to dance before she asks him if he really is a virgin. Ian takes this the worst possible way, and falls backward onto the floor shouting "Don’t eat me!" Mackenzie runs away crying, and Ian chases her down and apologizes, later returning to the dance with Mackenzie.
Ian's almost too-fervent affirmation of his lack of virginity in Chapter 41 and his sudden and loud overreaction in Chapter 65 may indicate that Ian was still a virgin until Chapter 136, where Amaranth guides Ian and Mackenzie's "first time". This is also supported by his description of his high school relationship in Chapter 200, in which he says he and his girlfriend never really moved beyond what most people would consider foreplay.
Ian lives in Weyland Hall, room 220. His father is an invested disciple of the Crimson Tongue.
