Iron Kingdoms/Characters

The Iron Kingdoms have a large number of heroes, here you can see tropes associated to them.

Coleman Stryker

Though Commander Stryker sees himself as just another soldier fighting for the crown and his young age may deceive some into believing he has not earned his rank compared to the aged generals leading the king's army, battlefield experience has made him wise beyond his years.
