Biography[]

Profession[]

Personality[]

Irons is a strict man of principle, believing that his way of fighting wars is the only way to achieve peace in this lifetime. In pursuit of this goal, he is willing to use whatever means he has at his disposal, no matter the cost. As the President and CEO of Atlas Corporation, Irons doesn't see it as just a military force for hire; he sees it as a super power capable of changing the world, and has spent the majority of his adult life strengthening it.

After the death of his son Will, Irons gained an obsession with absolute power, soon hoping to enact his vengeance against those he blamed or stood in his way, including the very governments that hired his company. Irons' menacing nature is further seen when Mitchell and Gideon discover the POWs who died of medical experimentation with Manticore at an Atlas prison camp. The event that effectively caused him to snap was Hades plot to force nuclear reactors around the world into a meltdown, using the Technologist Mitchell rescued from Nigeria in the pursuit of global harm. Rather then warn the people of the world, Irons murdered the specialist, letting thousands of innocents die for personal gain in order to improve Atlas' public image. He justified these acts by stating that the casualties were a "necessary sacrifice". Even in his last moments, Irons felt no remorse for his actions, dying a power-hungry madman who believed he could save mankind from inevitable destruction.

Irons saluting at his son's funeral, which is the primary reason for his spiral into madness as he intends on honoring Will's memory by "avenging" him, blaming the U.S. government for his death.

Irons also enjoys a cult of personality as he held New Baghdad as his personal haven and an example of his philosophy. Propaganda posters of his image are plastered across the city, and after the defeat of the Sentinel Task Force during the invasion, he broadcasts a victory speech proclaiming the perseverance and victorious nature of Atlas and New Baghdad itself.

Before Mitchell's betrayal of Atlas, he seemed to hold Mitchell in high esteem and often referred to him affectionately, calling him "my boy" and remarking the similarities between Mitchell and his deceased son, Will Irons. Furthermore, when Mitchell's prosthetic arm malfunctioned during a simulation, he remarks that his arm "is worth more to me than this entire facility." In this way, he seemed to treat Mitchell as his own kin. It was due to this sentiment that he was left deeply insulted and angry at Mitchell's defection to the Sentinel Task Force. When he brutalized his prosthetic arm in the prison camp, he unleashed his anger and disappointment at Mitchell, saying that he was nothing like his son.

Death[]

Jonathan Irons was killed by Ion PMC's Sword team. The exact details of what transpired was unkown and had never fully had been disclosed as to what happened. What was known that Irons was holding up in one of the splinter factions of Atlas Corperation during the Cooperation Wars still loyal to him. The Atlas Cooperation struggled to keep fighting and the PMC Sword Team was the final nail to the head for Atlas.

What is known is that Irons did speak to the Sword team and was executed by an unknown important operative and had asked what were they fighting for and possibly tried to coax the team to defect. Of course it failed and Irons' body was shown globally. Atlas without effective leadership collapsed quickly after, though a few splinters did still remain but ineffective to cause any real damage to any governing body in the multiverse besides notable exceptions
