Line 8:
Ironheade is the heroic [[Heavy Metal]] faction of [[Brutal Legend]]. They embody [[Heavy Metal]] (and [[Heavy Mithril]]) from [[The Seventies]], and [[The Eighties]]. The single player campaign is a [[Justified Tutorial]] for multiplayer, teaching players how Ironheade came to be {{spoiler|as well as the other factions.}}
 
* [[The Alcoholic|ALCOHOL IS METAL!]]: If they're not kicking ass, any member of Ironheade is enjoying booze. You'd probably drink a lot too if you had a Sacred Beer Tree that provided you with unlimited free lager.

Lars and Lita lean to the former, but Ophelia believes the latter. It turns out he's he child of humanity's greatest hero and nemesis together.}}
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: "Everything in that general direction must die!" Practically the [[Fridge Brilliance|philosophy]] that your ground game is more important than [[Real Time Strategy]] skill.
** Practically the [[Fridge Brilliance|philosophy]] that your ground game is more important than [[Real Time Strategy]] skill.
* [[Audible Sharpness]]: The [[Battle Cry]] solo creates a shockwave, justifiably invoking this trope.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Badass Beard]]: In the Mountain Man DLC outfit. In his regular costume he sports a soul patch.
** In his regular costume he sports a soul patch.

Line 73 ⟶ 70:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[Genre Savvy]]
* {{spoiler|[[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Half-Human Hybrid]]: His mother is the demon emperor Succoria.}}

▲* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: {{spoiler|Becomes a demon...and loves every minute of it!}}
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Humble Hero]]: Eddie himself, who believes that roadies shouldn't take the spotlight away from the band. In the end, {{spoiler|he lets others take the credit for his deeds as well as lets Lita become the new leader of the humans.}}
Line 89 ⟶ 86:
{{quote|"Mangus, the Hour of Rock is upon us."
"Hope you're in the mood.....for Death! Which is waiting for us on the road now lets HIT IT!" }}

** Except Kabbage Boy's music.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: He is partially responsible for {{spoiler|Ophelia's [[Face Heel Turn]] and the creation of the Drowning Doom.}}
* [[Nerf]]: Facemelter lost power (on infantry, but not cars) and Call of the Wild summons animals at the stage instead of anywhere.
Line 105 ⟶ 101:
* [[Show Runner]]: Without him, Ironheade would've consisted of Lars, Lita, and Ophelia sitting around getting wasted constantly instead of becoming the kickass <s> band</s> army it is.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]
* [[The Only One]]▼
* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: Eddie did not end up in the Age of Metal out of wish fulfillment or chance. {{spoiler|He is the son of Succoria, the evil ruler of the Tainted Coil, and Riggnarok, her nemesis turned lover.}}
* [[Visual Pun]] / [[Zeppelins from Another World]]: The ''Bring It on Home'' solo drops a [[Led Zeppelin|lead zeppelin]] where it's played.▼
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: But only during stage battles.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Early in he asks Ophelia if they are in Medieval times.
** He mistakes a Thunderhorn Bassist from [[Dronejam|Drone Jamming]] to prevent him from going into a dangerous area.
** His treatment of Lars is a Double Subversion. One would think Eddie is [[The Messiah]] immediately, but Eddie believe that role belongs to Lars, {{spoiler|and right down to the end Lars is treated as such, but the final legend says that Eddie is the true hero.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Meaningful Name]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Mistaken Identity]]: Ophelia refuses to explain who Succoria is after Doviculus is seen seeking her out via scent, as doing so would reveal Eddie as [[The Antichrist]], as Lars, Lita, and her own parents warned.
