Iron Bull

"What's the most pieces you've ever cut someone into in a single swing? I'm up to three, but I have some ideas."

The Iron Bull is a one-eyed Qunari mercenary, companion and a pansexual romance option for the Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Background
Before he became known as the Iron Bull, he was a brilliant agent of the Ben-Hassrath. Hunting down spies, rebels, deserters - the Iron Bull did it all. However, by 9:40 Dragon, the Iron Bull had burned out and had been assigned to Orlais where he founded the Bull's Chargers mercenary company on orders of the Ben-Hassrath. The Iron Bull used his mercenaries to gather information on Orlesian nobles, feeding the intelligence to the Ben-Hassrath. Though he still reports to his old masters, time in Orlais led to something of an identity crisis for the Iron Bull.

He remains in command of the Bull's Chargers, though spends much of his time drinking, sleeping around, and overindulging - all clear violations of the Qun. Despite his unusually friendly demeanor and lax attitude to his philosophy, the Iron Bull still has a loyalty to the Qun which dies hard. He does not proselytize, but neither does he apologize for his way of life.

Involvement
The Iron Bull will apparently be hired by the Inquisitor to fight the demons invading Thedas as a result of the Breach. He sends reports to the Ben-Hassrath on the Inquisition and the Breach, though he also relays information to the Inquisitor. .
