Personality:

When first coming to Torchwood Three, Ianto was a very quiet, reserved, and distant man. He did his cleanup duties with no questions asked and never really went out of his way to hold any long, meaningful conversations with his new colleagues. But, when Lisa was discovered hiding in the basement, Ianto finally showed his more passionate side. It was clear that he cared deeply for Lisa and that the Battle of Canary Wharf had scarred him, showing the troubled side of him his fellow colleagues were unaware of.

For the most part, Ianto is still a reserved man. He's not all that comfortable around people who are overly emotional because he still has his own troubles showing his own emotions. But when he does manage to show his emotions, whether it be anger or passion or anything in between, his outbursts are quite intense. It's almost as if he's an "all or nothing" type of person. He's either not emotional enough or too emotional.

Ianto may seem like a submissive man--a follower rather than a leader--but, as was evidenced when Tosh and Jack were stuck in 1941 and he and Owen were arguing over who should be in the leadership role, Ianto can step up to that leadership position when he needs to.

History:

Ianto was born on August 19, 1983 in Cardiff. His father worked as a tailor at the retail store Debenhams, and his only sibling is his sister Rhiannon. Not a lot is known about Ianto's early life. He would tell his fellow colleagues at Torchwood Three that he had a decent relationship with his father, his father often taking him out to the movies on the weekends. But Rhiannon related an incident to Gwen that portrayed the fact that maybe Ianto didn't have an all "rainbows and puppies" relationship with his father. When Ianto was a young boy, his father pushed him too hard while on the swings, causing Ianto to fall and break his leg. Rhiannon's family picture seems to be the more credible because their father died shortly before Ianto was getting ready to go off to college, and, instead of sticking around and paying his respects to his father, Ianto got out of there as quickly as he could.

He did decently in school and took temporary job after temporary job, until landing a spot as a Junior Researcher at Torchwood One in London. It was there that Ianto met his girlfriend Lisa Hallett, and it was also there that they had to create an alliance with Cybermen to fight off the Daleks. Many of the Torchwood One staff were taken to be upgraded into Cybermen themselves, and Lisa happened to be one of those people chosen. During the Battle of Canary Wharf, Ianto managed to drag Lisa safely away, only to eventually hide her in the basement of Torchwood Three (more on that soon).

After the battle, Ianto moved back to Cardiff. He tracked down Captain Jack Harkness to try and get a job with Torchwood Three. At first, Jack was reluctant to hire him but impressed the Captain by helping him catch a pterodactyl. He became the "butler," so to speak, of Torchwood Three, taking care of small, yet important, duties around the compound. Things were going just fine for him, until he decided to hire a doctor to try to turn Lisa back into a human. She killed the doctor, and her presence was soon known by the other members. Lisa, after a short siege, was killed by the Torchwood Three members (excluding Ianto). For his hiding a Cyberwoman in the basement, Ianto was suspended for four weeks.

When he came back, Ianto began to take a more active role in Torchwood Three's activities. When Tosh and Jack became trapped in 1941, Ianto and Owen fought over the leadership role. Ianto went so far as to shoot Owen in the shoulder to keep him from using the Rift Manipulator to bring Tosh and Jack back. Owen did eventually use it, though, to bring them back, causing the rift to open up wide, bringing all sorts of beings from all times into Cardiff. After Jack's fight with Abaddon, Jack left his colleagues without a word.

During the time Jack was gone, Ianto began keeping a diary to write down interesting rift activity in, along with more personal things. A memory thief by the name of Adam Smith soon ingratiated himself into the Torchwood team and gave Iago false memories of murdering three women. These memories, not surprisingly, affected him deeply but Jack was soon back, and he used short term amnesia pills on the whole team in order to cure them all.

Life went on from there. The Torchwood Three team went through various adventures, and everything was fine until Captain John Hart came and brought Gray Harkness, Jack's younger brother, with him. The incident that followed ended in the deaths of Owen and Tosh, leaving Jack, Ianto, and Gwen to pick up the pieces--a diminished Torchwood team. And now, not leaving a lot of time to mourn, they have the fusion of the worlds to deal with.
