Biography[]
Ian and his wife Charlotte went mountaineering in Nepal in 2015. A historic sudden earthquake struck the range and started an avalanche where the Wilsons and their group were hiking, burying everyone alive from the disaster. Ian was the only survivor, but he was never found and declared dead in absentia. Ian suffered severe brain damage and was left mentally in a primal survival mode, as well as suffering physical disfigurements such as his right foot missing two toes. He found sanctuary in a cave near the disaster site, and he also set up a small, unremarkable memorial site to honor Charlotte with what memories he had. Needing to survive, he turned his hunger into killing citizens and tourists of Nepal whenever he left the caves, mauling them to death and retaining their dismembered remains in his cave so he’d eat them later on. As his tracks weren’t recognizably human due to his disfigurements, the local citizens feared a Yeti was responsible.
He stalks the activities of a yoga retreat, where he kills a pregnant woman named Meegan Whitney at her campsite. He later kills the retreat’s spiritual guide, Dave Dennis. For reasons unknown, he doesn’t drag their remains back to his cave and leaves them to be found at the scenes where they were murdered. His prints at the crime scenes connect them, and when the International Response Team hears the local’s fears of the murders, they decide to take that into consideration for their profile. After Ian’s cave and the remains of six murdered people are found, the team goes through the profile and identifies Ian when they eventually find the records of the disaster and how Ian was the only victim never found alive. Agents Russell “Monte” Montgomery and Mae Jarvis follow the path of Ian’s expedition to find his memorial site to Charlotte, where they find him there. He can’t speak aside from moans to express his emotions, so Jarvis tries to appeal to his memories of his wife to bring him to his sense and get him to surrender. But Ian sees the Nepalese police approach, and he instead charges them to commit suicide by cop out of his grief, which is successful when they shoot him dead.
