Ian Sinclair

"Jeez. Do you make a habit of sneaking up on people? Everyone's already on edge down here with all the strange things that have been going on."

- Ian Sinclair, upon meeting the Marine

Ian Sinclair is a minor character in Doom 3.

He was a scientist assigned to the Mars City Underground on Mars. Because of the hallucinations experienced by many workers and rumors about the Underground being haunted, Ian was jumpy during his job. He had special access to the Processing Unit area.

The player meets Sinclair working at a console that controls the Filtration Routing System. After expressing annoyance at the player for "sneaking up" on him, Sinclair remarks that the equipment is being affected by something unseen. However, he does not have time to report this before the demonic invasion.

After the invasion started, when the player passes through the area where he last saw Ian, it's revealed that he has been transformed into a Zombie and his face has been torn off. The player is then forced to kill him.
