He is presumably the product of a PCP-fueled affair between his mother Monica Gallagher and Frank Gallagher's brother, Clayton Gallagher, in the summer of 1995. Ian has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder; he currently refuses to visit the doctor and does not believe he needs to take medication. For these reasons his behavior has been erratic and out of control, worrying his family. He is a high school drop out, having left his education behind when he illegally enlisted in the army at the end of Season 3. While in the army, Ian attempted to steal a helicopter, and was a wanted criminal on at least two charges: attempted theft of government property and impersonating his older brother, Phillip Gallagher. He has been in an on-again-off-again relationship with the aggressive neighborhood thug, Mickey Milkovich, and was best friends with Mickey's sister, Mandy Milkovich; he has complete hatred for Mandy's abusive boyfriend, Kenyatta, with whom she moved away to Indiana in Season 5. He helped around the house and assisted Mickey and Svetlana with the care of their son Yevgeny. After spiraling out of control, Ian becomes a religious fanatic in Season 8 and is arrested. During Season 9, Ian is sent to prison to serve a two-year sentence, where he is reunited with Mickey Milkovich and his character was temporarily retired from the series, making an appearance in the season finale before Fiona leaves. Ian returns in Season 10 with Mickey and both are eventually paroled. Ian struggles with life after prison, building a future with Mickey and his own insecurities, but eventually he and Mickey get engaged and are married. Ian is not as intelligent as Lip, but he is more physically fit. He is described by Frank as having an excellent work ethic in nearly everything he does. He is often uncertain of what he wants to do in his life, but once he makes a goal for himself he goes after it 100 percent. Ian is also self-conscious of his bipolar condition, which he inherited from his mother and often feels inadequate as it prevents him from certain things. He sometimes refuses to admit that he has a problem when his condition causes him to go off his usual path. Ian gets along with all his siblings who were aware of his sexuality long before he revealed it and accepted regardless. He is closest to Lip and Fiona but does get along with his younger siblings and often help shield them from Frank's influence. Ian was devastated by the betrayal of Samantha Slott who told the army of his AWOL choices. However, he did try to redirect Samantha's son Chuckie Slott from his misguided views from juvie. Like his siblings, Ian resents his father Frank for his neglect and his treatment of him since his mother Monica left them. For some time, Ian felt his father despised him the most. However, he was greatly surprised to learn Frank wasn't his biological father but rather his uncle. After meeting his presumed father (Frank's brother), Ian chose not to broach the subject and accepted Frank was his father, just as Lip and the others are his siblings. Interestingly enough, Frank also claims Ian is still his son while not scorning his sexuality and accepting him no matter what. Despite stating he hates him, Ian was worried when Mickey plotted to kill Frank for discovering he was gay. Ian also warned Frank of the danger he was in but listened to his father's words about his life. Ian was even present for Frank's time in the hospital when it looked he was going to die from liver failure and even seemed sad. However, he went back to his usual reaction to Frank after he got a new liver and survived. After Frank ruined Fiona's wedding, Ian took part in throwing Frank off the bridge, he wasn't surprised to see him alive when he returned and didn't try to help him in his moment of pain. Ian also expressed pleasure in Frank's disownment until Frank took revenge by taking Liam and blocking the family out of the house. This tension skyrocketed to the point where he and Lip were tortured by Frank with a raccoon and Frank created a new family while sending him away. Ian's anger mellowed when he introduced Trevor to Frank and still called Frank his father. However, his dislike remained as he tried to attack his father after he tried to return home but soon relented and slowly forgave his father when he helped Liam and fix the house. Ian made full amends with Frank after seeing his grief at Monica's death and hearing him express pride in them, despite their past. In the month after, Ian was also surprised to see Frank put in the effort to change and saved him along with the rest of the family from an armed meth-head while realizing Frank was holding back on him for years in his attacks on him. Though not entirely convinced but grateful for the rescue, Ian seemed to encourage Frank's actions and was pleased that he put in the effort to bond with Liam. Regardless, Ian does show that he cares for Frank and was pleased to see him happy when he turned his and Mickey’s wedding. When Ian discovered that Frank was suffering from dementia, he appeared concerned and no longer became hostile towards Frank showing a deep down that he does love him. Ian is gay and has had several troubled relationships over the course of the series. He had several flings with older married men: Kash and Lloyd. However, the flings ends on bad terms due to the men's complicated lives. first relationship was the neighborhood thug Mickey, who was the person that he wanted to be with all the time but he was devastated Mickey's pride and reaction to his bipolar disorder blocked that. His second relationship was with firefighter Caleb who was different from all his partners in that they were doing normal things, as they went on dates and confided in personal secrets: Ian being bipolar and Caleb being HIV positive. Caleb was also more encouraging, as he pushed Ian to fight to be a paramedic, something that was a success. Their relationship lasted a month, as Ian discovers Caleb was bisexual and cheating on him with women. Ian's next partner was Trevor, who is transgender and showed a mutual attraction to him. Though Ian just broke up with Caleb, he felt different with Trevor and after moving past differences, they slowly built a relationship once they found common interests. Ian ruined his chances by cheating on Trevor when hooking up with Mickey and nearly running off with him. However, Ian returned to Trevor and they started to reconcile until Ian became a religious fanatic and arsonist. In prison, Ian reunited with Mickey and they resumed their status. Ian and Mickey had reconciled in the six months that passed but things became tumultuous due to the fact that they would constantly fight about small things. Regardless, they still cared for one another as Mickey prevent Ian from ruining his parole meeting and helped Ian in getting a phone for him to see his new nephew Freddie Gallagher. After they were both released from prison they moved in together and things were more smoothly than in prison. However, Ian hesitates at the idea of marrying Mickey, eventually revealing that a lot of it stems from insecurities over how Mickey could love Ian with all of his issues when Mickey could potentially find someone better. After overhearing Byron bad-mouthing Mickey and his qualities, Ian is inspired to not only leap to Mickey's defense, but to propose to Mickey himself. Despite the turbulence at their wedding plans and the reactions of Mickey’s father, Ian was ultimately able to marry Mickey with the help of his family, friends and even his old Gay Jesus followers. With Mickey as his new husband, Ian couldn’t help but be happy about finally finding the person he truly wanted.
