Ian Stuart is the second prince of the Sorcier Kingdom and is known as the older brother of Geordo Stuart and Alan Stuart. He has blonde hair and blue eyes, making him very handsome. Though he often seems emotionless, Ian is actually very serious and calm. He has great talent in both studying and sword fighting, often in strong rivalry with his brother Geoffrey Stuart. Some people once thought Ian should become king because he looked cold and distant, but that was just a misunderstanding since he simply struggles to show his feelings. Deep inside, he truly cares for his brothers and his fiancée, Selena Berg, even if he can't easily say it. His shy nature even led to big misunderstandings and trouble, especially during the Catarina Claes kidnapping incident, but he fixes things in the end.
