Ius is one of Wary's characters, or to be precise, a narrator, who's mostly been calling the shots ever since the beginning of the story Ius Mystery. He's considered a traitor by many of the characters, even the ones under his control, despite many people originally preferring him over the previous narrator. He shares Wary's taste in music and humor, his love of irony and twists, and even his way of speaking...dude.

History
Origins
Mr. Ius was created by the Burning Chicken (Wary's previous narrator) as an NPC for an early draft of the game N2 Space. However, when focus shifted away from the game, Ius was mostly forgotten. However, he had the power to create as many NPC's as he wanted, and soon they created a teleportation spell that allowed them to move to Wary's Dimension.
Ius Mythos
When he arrived in the dimension, he found it in chaos, because the Burning Chicken had largely abandoned it as well. In annoyance and using his increasing power along with the Staff of Ius, he began to work on things that would reshape the canon of the dimension forever. Thus, this "final draft" plot has been labeled the Ius Mythos after the avatar that finally built it.
One of his most influential moves was actually combining every planet into one and removing the Mana from it. However, Eli was able to use magic despite this, and in fury at the destruction Ius had inadvertently caused left the dimension to acquire greater power to destroy Ius with.
Ius Mystery
Ius attempted to follow Eli through a gate to Star World. However, to his dismay he found that Burning Chicken had placed a temple there to seal him. Ius sent out his influence to try to bring Eli back, but when this failed he recruited people previously under Burning Chicken's responsibility to live inside the Temple and attempt to break out.
He set up several devices, but none of them managed to destroy the Temple until one day Eli did show up after all, finding his own way in. Eli and his allies allowed many of the recruits, led by Colin, to escape, but Colin himself was so delusional that he would only listen to one who might defeat him in a guitar battle. Luckily for Ius, the guitar battle generated so much energy that the Temple exploded, allowing him to escape.
However, he hadn't foreseen that Eli's grandfather, Ein, would also be there, and in a twist of fate, Wary's very first narrator defeated the new one with his journal. Ius, frustrated, escaped, taking Eli's girlfriend Blossi (and presumably their unborn son) with him.
hell.exe
Though little has happened yet in this story, it seems that Ius' massive power signature leads to Aqualiss. Ein, the narrator once again for hell.exe, has already found some rather odd clues there.
Personal Information
Personality
Ius was meant to be an extension of Wary. However, to some extent, he is on the surface what Wary is on the inside, and vice-versa. He's really not such a bad guy, but inwardly thinks that the gods have screwed him over and therefore takes it out on those in his control. On the flipside, he becomes attached to them as well, and sometimes doesn't have the guts to throw life's unfairness at them.
Abilities
By telling stories he can shift reality to his will. However, mentally he is limited to what makes sense, and in the presence of other narrators his power becomes exponentially more restricted. It's suggested that after Ius Mystery he was permanently weakened.
Final Smash: Canon Blast
Ius creates multiple plotholes, disabling his opponents or possibly destroying them, depending on how quickly their wits can react. To avoid it, coming up with an explanation for a plothole will cause it to disappear.
Residence
Anywhere. It's thought that he feels most at home in Wary's Dimension, though. He never even bothered building himself a shelter in N2 Space, since the weather was at his command and nature could grow without rain.
Interactions with Other Characters
The Cloud
Ius and The Cloud are often known to have conversations about various plot details, and it's even suggested that Ius learned some of his techniques from The Cloud and its narrator, Wally Plotch.
Eli
Ius sees Eli as the only real potential threat to his power, even as a rival. He was fine with that until he realized that the boy knew how to escape his abilities.
Ein
Ius just plain hates Ein, but he won't admit it. Ein was always first at everything, but most importantly the first to beat him at his own game. He has a special plan for Ein...
Trivia
- Ius was originally called Mr. Ius, as a pun on the word mysterious. For a short while, there was another NPC named Ms. Terry, but she was later removed.
- He breaks the fourth wall just by existing.
