- "Hark! Who is that, prowling out of the plains! It is Mighty Pirate, hands clutching a meaty axe! He screams vengefully: "In the name of Thor the Mighty, I bring annihilation and cheap beer!!""
- ―Ian's battle cry
Ian Riley (aka IRAMightyPirate, TehMightyPirate or just MightyPirate) is the creator of the Barney's Mind Series and founder of the "Master Minds" group. He voices Barney Calhoun in Barney's Mind, Shephard's Mind, Freeman's Mind and Felix's Mind, and Corporal Andrew 'Frosty' Harrison in Harrison's Mind and Kane's Mind, as well as an unnamed Ultor guard (not coincidentally, given the nickname Barney) in Parker's Mind, Griggs in Freeman's (-ish) Mind 2, two fictionalised versions of himself in Ian's Mind and The Mattel and Machinima Meticulous Mind Series Minute, and the elevator voice in Chell's Mind. He also appeared in Mind the Gap, Meeting of the Minds, Out Of Our Minds and Opposites Attack. He is a trained pilot and civil engineer. He lives with his wife (and fellow Master Mind) CyhAnide in his home state.

There were two Meeting of the Minds episodes up for download on Ian's blog; however these, along with almost all other content on Ian's blog, have been taken down.
