Ian "Aidan" McCollin is a fictional vampire and one of the principal characters featured in the North American television series Being Human. The series is based on a British programme of the same name, which premiered on the BBC in February, 2008. Known primarily as just "Aidan", he is played by actor Sam Witwer and was introduced in the series' pilot episode, "There Goes the Neighborhood (Part 1)", and has appeared in every subsequent episode to date. Aidan's counterpart in the original series is John Mitchell, played by Irish actor Aidan Turner.

Ian McCollin is an Irish-American born some time in the mid 1700s. He had a wife and child and served during the Revolutionary War. During the war, Ian encountered a soldier who also happened to be a vampire named James Bishop. Bishop turned Ian into a vampire and became his mentor. Abandoning everything he knew in his human life, Ian became Bishop's greatest protege, an unrelenting, merciless killer. According to another of Bishop's charges, Marcus Damnian, Bishop and Ian "were like gods". At some point in his life, Ian assumed the alias Aidan and has been referring to himself by that name ever since.

By the 21st century, Aidan was living in Boston, Massachusetts and began working as a male nurse at Suffolk County Hospital. Tired of the sadistic life he had been leading, Aidan chose to abandon his darker impulses and shied away from drinking blood from living humans. Working at the hospital enabled him to sustain his cravings by stealing bags of plasma from the storage rooms.

At some point during his time at the hospital, Aidan met a young, neurotic orderly named Josh Radcliff. He helped Josh out of a sticky and violent situation and the two became friends. To Aidan's surprise, Josh was a creature of the night as well - a werewolf. Traditionally, vampires and werewolves were natural enemies of one another, but both men ignored tradition and felt that they could help one another in their ongoing struggle to maintain their humanity.

Aidan and Josh decided to buy a house together - a place where they could be themselves without having to worry about keeping their darkest secrets under wraps. They leased a townhouse from a man named Danny Burge. Danny was not only the landlord of the place, but he was also the former occupant. Aidan and Josh soon discovered that the house was haunted by the spirit of Danny's late fiancé, Sally Malik. Sally, unable to leave the house, became Aidan and Josh's new, reluctant roomate.
