The Fon Master Ion is the leader of the Order of Lorelei, a neutral theocracy currently trying to calm the power struggle between the Malkuth and Kimlasca kingdoms. He is calm in most situations, and can utilize Daathic Fonic Artes, though that can be exhausting. Ion is worried about the state of the world and its obsession with the fulfillment of the Score. Unlike most members of the Order, he believes that the Score is but one of many possibilities that can occur.
Ion is actually the seventh replica of the original Ion, and has been in the original's place for two years. The original Ion had been dying of a mysterious disease and allowed Van to create replicas of him. Of the replicas, the Ion that the party befriends was the one with capabilities closest to the original's Daathic Fonic Artes ability. The rest of the replicas were sent to Mt. Zaleho to be destroyed, but two (Florian and Sync) managed to escape.
During a revisit to Mt. Zaleho, Mohs forces Ion to read the Fonstone that would cost him his life. Reading the Score off the tablets uses a great amount of energy, and Ion is pushed too far, as the Seventh Fonons inside his body separate. Before he passes away, though, Ion gives Luke the Score which he can use to save the world, and transfers his clean Seventh Fonon to Tear in exchange for her miasma-poisoned Seventh Fonon, curing her. Anise is partly responsible for Ion's death because she tricked the party and brought Ion to Mohs. Neither Ion nor the party blames her, though, because Mohs was threatening to hurt her parents. The whole party is driven on by the memory of Ion, a victim of Mohs' obsession with the Score.
