IRONHOUND

Written By Sean Ree

WATCHGUARD ADVERSARY DOSSIER
Subject: IRONHOUND
Real Name: Unknown
Affiliation: Commander, Ironpack
Threat Tier: ALPHA — Strategic & Ideological
Base of Operations: Mobile HQ, Eastern European Corridor

Known Profile

Ironhound is the tactical architect of the Ironhound War and the driving force behind the Ironpack’s global rise. A former Spetsnaz officer turned warlord, he commands both loyalty and fear through doctrine as much as force. His exosuit and battle axe mark him as a frontline leader—but it is his mind that shapes the battlefield. He believes resistance is sentimentality—and sentiment will always lose.

"Freedom is chaos wearing a smile. I offer something better — peace without illusions."

Tactical Signature

  • Role: Commander-class exo-warrior

  • Primary Weapon: Plasma Battle Axe (callsign: Molokh)

  • Armor: Reinforced cyber-linked exosuit; wolf-helmet HUD with thermal and psychological overlays

  • Combat Style: Predictive; uses strategic misdirection, pre-calculated retreats, and psychological baiting

  • Support Units: Ironpack shock troopers, Phantom Units (Eidolon-derived), Molot-class brutes

Doctrine

Ironhound treats war as a game of inevitability. His internal monologue reveals a cold, chess-like view of the Watchguard team:

  • Polaris: "A king pretending to be a knight. Noble, but out of position."

  • Wraith: "Moves in diagonals. Predictably instinctive. I counted her before she chose her path."

  • Circuit: "A bishop with brilliance, but easily cornered."

  • Vanguard: "The rook. Loyal. Immobile. He thinks he anchors them. He only delays the checkmate."

He does not rage. He recalibrates.

“Their rebellion is elegant. Symbolic. But the board doesn’t care how noble your move was. Only whether it ends the game.”

Operational Objectives

  • Reforge Eastern Europe under a militarized order

  • Erase national memory through signal suppression and ideological overwrite

  • Expose the Watchguard as a myth unfit for the real war ahead

Psychological Profile

  • Belief System: Fatalistic militarism, rooted in post-Soviet collapse

  • Leadership Style: Cold, efficient, precise

  • Weakness: Underestimates emotional unpredictability as a strategic variable

Field Notes

  • Do not engage Ironhound without full team support

  • Use non-standard tactics; emotional feints may disrupt predictive targeting

  • Always assume he is observing—even in retreat

Codename Origin: 'Ironhound' is not a call to savagery. It is the warning growl before the kill — heard too late.
