Vicar Ian Prescott is the Anglican vicar of Tufting Meadows at Our Lady of Prayerful Paws, with a very small parish MM E1·00:07:46 MM E1·00:08:37. He says of his career "When God closes every door but one, you go through the one that is open, and that is what I did!" and adds that he is an owl MM E1·00:08:37. He tries to comfort the widow Catherine McCabbage, and she says she has seen his articles about her dead husband MM E1·00:12:49 MM E1·00:15:29. When he comes upon Gangie in the graveyard, Gangie tells him "Mind your own business.", and Ian then tells Catherine that Gangie is just putting in some extra hours for free MM E1·00:20:54 MM E1·00:22:21.

Vicar Ian is an owl and the vicar of a small parish, and a newspaper reports his words of admonishment from the pulpit about the McCabbage mill death MM E1·00:08:37 MM E1·00:30:28. At the party the squire says the Cardinal thinks Ian's gifts are wasted in so small a parish and mentions Siberia MM E2·01:00:53.

In the library he works out that the date on the Barkus Aurelius bust is wrong MM E5·01:06:10. After the shape and voice in the crystal ball in the Seance Room he declares "God is real! He's just been ignoring me this whole time!" MM E6·00:19:03. He names the Roman emperors in order, and Daisy moves the busts in that order MM E6·00:29:13 MM E6·00:29:18. He works out that the electromagnet was hidden "inside of a contraption that was already known to be magnetic." MM E6·00:46:24. In MM_07 he casts Detect Thoughts on Constance, who resists it, and he stays with the police as the town's chaplain MM E7·00:12:01 MM E7·02:20:54.

In MM_08 he remembers that Connor McCabbage did die and "was in fact a mouse" MM E8·00:25:33. In MM_10 he goes in with Gangie hidden under his robes on the constable who is interrogating Mrs. Molesly MM E10·01:05:54 MM E10·01:09:27. He shouts "Unhand her, you heathens, by the power of God" MM E10·01:10:22. He casts Detect Thoughts on Mrs. Molesly and is certain she is telling the truth, which Brennan ties to artificial flashes of light MM E10·01:23:49 MM E10·01:23:57. On the balcony he shouts into the storm "My moral compass is inside me." MM E10·01:59:33. In the epilogue he marries Daisy and Sylvester, pronouncing them "Fox and Raccoon" MM E10·02:44:30.
