==History==
===Bonding with Raoden===
Ien has been bound to Raoden since he was a young boy.{{
In Raoden's youth, he learns about slavery and attempts to free Ien, but Ien assures him that he wants to serve him and that he requires no payment.{{book ref|Elantris|16}} Raoden considers Ien a a friend, but he also sees him as a reflection of his god's love.{{book ref|Elantris|16}}
==Attributes and Abilities==
{{for|Seon}}
Seons are sapient [[Splinter]]s of [[Devotion]]{{wob ref|5991}} and possess several magical qualities, including flight, light generation, immortality,{{wob ref|3885}} invulnerability,{{wob ref|7439}} instant communication, and enhanced senses.{{book ref|Elantris|2}}{{book ref|Elantris|32}} Seons form bonds with humans; this bond can be Passed from person to person.{{
When Raoden was taken by the broken Shaod, his spiritual nature was changed, causing Ien to lose his sapience and sentience.{{wob ref|10049}} Ien retains at least some of his powers when he loses sentience—he still glows and is able to fly—but his abilities are severely weakened.{{book ref|Elantris|10}}
==Trivia==
* The change in Ien's personality after the restoration of AonDor could be explored in a planned future sequel to ''Elantris''.{{wob ref|7182}}
* In an early draft of ''Elantris'', Ien (then known as "Ian") showed up and had a major role during a climactic fight with [[Dilaf]].{{bws ref|elantris-alternate-ending-material|''Elantris'' alternate ending material|date=date unknown}} Brandon and his editor [[Moshe Feder]] felt that the scene (including the way that the seon's magic was used) did not fit into the book's narrative, and it was completely rewritten.{{
