Ian Andrew Troi was a Human Starfleet officer and husband of Betazoid ambassador Lwaxana Troi. Ian and Lwaxana married in 2328, and had two daughters, Kestra and Deanna. However, Kestra drowned shortly after Deanna was born and, at the request of his grieving wife, Ian never mentioned his first-born daughter again. Ian worshipped Lwaxana, despite her unique perspectives on Human men. (TNG: "Manhunt", "Dark Page")

Ian apparently acceded to most of the cultural expectations of his strong-willed wife, living on Betazed and arranging for his daughter, Deanna, to be genetically bonded to the son of his friends, Steven and Victoria Miller, in accordance with Betazoid tradition. One aspect of Human culture which Ian Troi passed on to his daughter was a fondness for stories of the American "Ancient" West. (TNG: "Haven", "A Fistful of Datas") He would also often sing her to sleep, particularly with the song, Down in the Valley. (TNG: "Dark Page")

Ian Troi died in 2343. His wife and surviving daughter were devastated by his sudden death. (TNG: "Half a Life")

Deanna remembered him fondly years later. When she became pregnant by an alien energy being, she named the resulting child after her father. (TNG: "The Child")

The circumstances of Ian's death were never revealed. Ian Troi was seen in flashback in the episode "Dark Page" (TNG), and was played by Amick Byram. In non-canon releases, his death was witnessed by Elias Vaughn, a character in the Pocket TNG and Pocket DS9 series novels.
