Character from Bastion by Phil Tucker
Book 3's major villain — a True Fiend whose significant fight sequence pushes Scorio to the limits of his dragon transformation.
The Iron Tyrant is the series' most significant single-combat antagonist in LastRock. Where other threats are political or existential, the Iron Tyrant is visceral — a thing that must be fought, not negotiated with. His fight sequence pushes Scorio's dragon transformation to its limits and establishes the combat stakes for the series' endgame. His 'iron' nature suggests a fiend that has incorporated industrial materials into its being — a Hell creature that has evolved beyond organic forms into something harder, colder, and more durable. In a world where advancement means becoming more, the Iron Tyrant has become more metal than flesh.
Iron-clad and tyrannical in the literal sense — armored in metal that is part of his body rather than worn, massive in scale, radiating the industrial malevolence of a forge given will and appetite.
