Irons was born in the mid-to-late 12th century during the reign of King Richard I and served as a leader of the Templar Knights in the Third Crusade.
His ambition came to an end when he was shot and killed by Sara's captain Joe Siry after Ian Nottingham and Excalibur stripped Irons immortality away from him.
He also has a son named Geraun Irons who follows in his father's footsteps and recently returned from the Dead to antagonize Sara again.
Irons was also a skilled swordsman and fighter due to his experiences with the Templar Knights.
Iron's most potent weapons were his centuries of experience, his vast economic resources, and his influence over powerful underground organizations such as the Mafia and Yakuza.
