Ian Gallagher

Ian Clayton Gallagher was born in 1996 in Illinois, and is often the most strong-hearted, persistent, and goofy -yet currently reckless- third oldest child in the Gallagher family. 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 a year prior. He helped around the house and assisted Mickey and Svetlana with the care of their son Yevgeny. He's sarcastic and witty, has a well toned body. He's very physically fit, has red hair, green eyes, and stands 6'0" tall. His oldest sister is Fiona, his youngest sister is Debbie. His oldest brother is Phillip also called Lip. He has 2 younger brothers, Carl and Liam, Liam is the youngest of all the Gallagher's.
