Current Timeline
Ian Philips met Roan when the latter was leaving Brent's Library located in Aaron Tate's fiefdom. He was very excited to meet Roan and wholeheartedly chatted with him. He even shared his idea of creating an information agency to which Roan concurred.

During the war against Istel Kingdom, Oren, the head of Evishun, the intelligence agency created by Ian Philips, provided the 7th Corps with the location of Istel Kingdom's supply storage. However, due to the information being different from the information obtained by Agens, the two sides decided to personally visit each other's believed location and verify whose information was correct. It turned out Evishun's location was a trap.

Later, Ian Philips met Roan in Miller Castle while Roan was searching for a boutique to buy a tuxedo. He recommended a store to him and asked if Roan would be interested in giving a special lecture at Tron Academy. After giving the lecture and sparring with Brian Miles, Ian Philips invited Roan to coffee while they talked. The principal of Tron Academy tagged along as did Princess Katie. Roan invited Princess Aily and, to everyone's surprise, she accepted.
