Character
Baron Ironblood is the leader of the Red Shadows, sworn enemies of Action Force. According to Battle Action Force his real name and birth place are unknown (though a detailed comic book back-story, which featured in an early Battle Action Force annual, places him of possible Swiss descent).
In addition, Ironblood's datafile (as it appeared in Battle Action Force) states that his "primary military speciality" is organisational military strategy and that his "secondary military speciality" is that he is a born leader.

He is also described as a:
Genius of Evil. Ironblood's sworn intent is to destroy all organised government in Europe.
Ironblood was said to be the culprit of several armed revolutions in Latin America and was previously a South American-based warlord. In addition, he uses hypnotic control to indoctrinate the Red Shadow soldiers.

Famous quotes containing the word character:
“You know that the beginning is the most important part of any work, especially in the case of a young and tender thing; for that is the time at which the character is being framed.”
—Plato (5th century B.C.)
“In my experience, persons, when they are made the subject of conversation, though with a Friend, are commonly the most prosaic and trivial of facts. The universe seems bankrupt as soon as we begin to discuss the character of individuals. Our discourse all runs to slander, and our limits grow narrower as we advance. How is it that we are impelled to treat our old Friends so ill when we obtain new ones?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
