Character from Volume 6 by Rooster Teeth
The General of Atlas — referenced as the team's destination and potential ally. They're bringing him the Relic and the truth about Salem, hoping he'll know what to do next.
Ironwood closed Atlas's borders after the Fall of Beacon. The floating city pulled up the drawbridge and the general locked the kingdom down, cutting it off from the rest of Remnant. The team is heading north because Ironwood is one of Ozpin's inner circle — he knows about Salem, the Maidens, the Relics — and because Atlas has the military strength to actually protect the Relic of Knowledge. But Ironwood hasn't been heard from in months. The blockade at Argus answers to him, and Cordovin's hostility suggests the general has become more paranoid and controlling since Beacon fell. Whether the Ironwood they find in Atlas is still the ally Ozpin trusted or something harder and more dangerous is an open question.
Tall and broad-shouldered with black hair streaked with grey, stern blue eyes, and a half-cybernetic body. Wears a white Atlas military uniform. Not physically present — the team is heading toward him.
