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

Cygnar

Coleman Stryker

"There is no defeat so total that Stryker cannot snatch victory from it. He will personally pay any price to protect the Cygnaran people." -- King Leto Raelthorne

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. He goes to great lengths to preserve the lives of his men.

A fine leader, a better soldier, and one of the most accomplished warcasters in the Iron Kingdoms, Coleman Stryker was born to be a hero of Cygnar and expects to die defending her.

• Anti-Hero: Well-Intentioned Extremist to Type III, after killing Hierarch Voyle.
• Authority Equals Asskicking: Like many Warcasters, he is an officer and an unstoppable warrior.
• Badass:
  • Badass in Charge: Like above, he is a Commander of the King's army. Also, when he was promoted to Lord Commander his authority rivaled one of a general.
  • Four-Star Badass
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Years of war made him this. So much that he his former teacher, Nemo, gave him a What the Hell, Hero? speech.

Twin Nyss warlocks. Their destiny as Everblight's warlocks were first discovered by Saeryn via a propethic vision, and when Thagrosh paid them a visit, they bested him in combat, but spared him per Saeryn's advice, and they thus began their life as Everblight's warlocks.

Vayl, Disciple and Consul of Everblight

One of the first warlocks in Everblight's ranks in recent times. When she was a Nyssor priestess, she was already a blasphemous priestess who was shunned by her peers. When she learned of a prophecy that Everblight would conquer the Nyss, she immediatelly swore allegiance to Everblight, resulting in the Nyss' near destruction. She also sponsored Bethayne's entry into Everblight's army.
