Ian St. John was the father of Geoffrey St. John and Commander of the Royal Secret Service. Like his son, Ian was a Mobian Skunk with a military crew-cut hair style. Ian, himself, was very close to his son, teaching him the meaning of duty and honor and also grooming him to join the Secret Service himself when he was old enough.

Ian served with distinction during the Great War with the Overlanders, fighting under the personal command of King Maximillian Acorn and beside his right-hand-man; Colonel Sommersby. When Mobotropolis fell under siege from the Overlanders led by Colin Kintobor, Ian was tasked to take a group of his best men and escort Queen Alicia Acorn and Prince Elias Acorn to safety in Knothole, but unfortunately Ian's scouts found the route to Knothole cut off. Instead, Ian was forced to take the royal couple to Angel Island.

Unfortunately, an Overlander patrol intercepted Ian's ship just as it reached the Island, and were successful in damaging it to the point it was forced to crash land on the island. While Sommersby and the royal couple narrowly survived, Ian and the rest of his men were killed in the crash.

His place as leader of the Secret Service was initially succeeded by Commander Smiley, but Geoffrey, following in his father's footsteps, took his place after Smiley retired.
