@Gintoki I think u should read the story again and all your questions will be cleared up.
Here, are some brief answers Ian didn't suddenly become manipulative, the one who is possessing his body now, is an emperor hundred years from the future
The mc himself questioned the mystery behind the flower pot and necklace.So the author is clearly building up to a big reveal. And the mystery behind the past of the original Ian will clear up as the story goes on ( it's been only 11 chap)
One of the reasons he was sent as a token of peace was for him send them guru leaves ( If I am remembering the name correctly) which is a powerful stimulant for warriors and to use him as a political tool like right now.
The only point I agree with is that he doesn't really have a clear goal.Hope this clears up.
