Ian Church

Ian Church is an X-Com field operative. His station assignment is Bunker Alpha "Area 51". He was on assignment in the Pacific Northwest during the Sweeps when his comms were cut off, and began an independent investigation of Red Hand activity in the area. During the Elma Resistance's "Recruitment Drive" operation, Church and his partner Dean Vickers were contacted by Lillian Kjelstad to assist her own group of agents in rounding up and extracting some scientists and engineers in the Seattle area.

Church is in his late forties or early fifties. He is 6'4" tall. He claims to have been assigned to Bunker Alpha.

His weapon of choice is an AA-12 automatic shotgun. He also carries a suppressed Glock 18 9mm machine pistol.

He found members of the Elma resistance when they left the UW campus en route to the Pacific Science Center. He joined their operation at that time and aided in the rescue of 50 scientists.
