His embrace was quick. His sire, a man who posed as a club owner in New York, only met with him for an hour before he had made up his mind to change Ian's life forever. Thinking that the club owner was taking him out for a night on the town to wine and dine him so that he would either go to work for him or hold his parties at the man's club, Ian was embraced within six hours of meeting James. He spent only three nights with his sire - enough to get him past the shaky first few steps and then James vanished. There was no word or warning - but one night Ian woke up and his sire was not there. Since then he's been moving around from city to city, generally staying out of the other vampire's affairs and eventually made his way up to the Toronto area. One of the last things that his sire had told him was that the other vampires may want him dead - for some reason. Since he doesn't know why - and wasn't willing to risk it he usually stays at the fringe of vampire society and moves on when it gets too complicated to stay.
For two years he was a clanless leach that moved around the area until the Prince of New York finally ordered him gathered up and returned to his court. James was not supposed to sire any one and doing so provoked the Prince. However, since Ian had no control over what James did - the Prince released him to his sire's clan; the Ventrue.
Martin, a member of the Ventrue of New York, adopted Ian as a surrogate sire and mentor; a favor to the Primogen. Over the next twenty years, Ian discovered that not only did he like being on the 'inside' of the mask rather than the outside - but he NEEDED the vampire society of the camarilla to survive. Those two years he spent in self-imposed exile were the worst of his new 'life' and he never wanted to have to go through that again.
Ian gradually adopted the trappings of his sire and mentor's clan by becoming more 'business professional'. He discovered that people paid more attention to what he said when he gets cleaned up in a suit
