Radegast was the first of the Iron Lords, and was responsible for assembling the motley crew that would rise to the renown all [[Guardian]]s know. Originally, the four man team of himself, [[Perun]], [[Jolder]], and [[Saladin Forge]] fought against the Warlords in secret, living in fear of that other Guardians would destroy them. Eventually, they had a particularly brutal battle against five enemy Warlords in defense of a mining community, resulting in the devastation of the surrounding area and destruction of the outpost. After this battle, Radegast became weary of [[Lightbearer|Risen]] fighting and fearing one another, and expressed his desire to see them unite as protectors of humanity, like the knights that existed long before the [[Golden Age]]. Radegast then had his friends name of wielders of the [[Light]] they trusted to ride with them; Jolder named [[Bretomart]], Perun named [[Deidris]], but Saladin did not trust anyone other than Radegast. He then called on them to gather those they trust to fight the Warlords out in the open, calling on them to join him as Iron Lords, coining the name for the first time.

As the Iron Lords expanded their ranks, Lord [[Timur]] informed Radegast that the Warlord [[Felwinter]] was interested in joining the Iron Lords. Radegast and Timur were interested in using [[Felwinter Peak]] as their headquarters due to its defensible position, but were also intrigued by Felwinter's interest in the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], as Timur himself was seeking the technology known as [[SIVA]] to aid in the building of [[The Last City]]. The two Iron Lords met with Felwinter, but Radegast found himself unnerved by the [[Exo]]'s seeming lack of emotion. Radegast questioned him about his interest in Rasputin as well as the civilians who lived below his peak in a small village before asking if he would give up his peak to the Iron Lords.

Biography

Founding of the Iron Lords

"We are stronger, together. We are mighty, together. All we have to fear is... this. Giving in. Allowing the power of the Light to blind us to what we truly are."
— Lord Radegast

Radegast was the first of the Iron Lords, and was responsible for assembling the motley crew that would rise to the renown all Guardians know. Originally, the four man team of himself, Perun, Jolder, and Saladin Forge fought against the Warlords in secret, living in fear of that other Guardians would destroy them. Eventually, they had a particularly brutal battle against five enemy Warlords in defense of a mining community, resulting in the devastation of the surrounding area and destruction of the outpost. After this battle, Radegast became weary of Risen fighting and fearing one another, and expressed his desire to see them unite as protectors of humanity, like the knights that existed long before the Golden Age. Radegast then had his friends name of wielders of the Light they trusted to ride with them; Jolder named Bretomart, Perun named Deidris, but Saladin did not trust anyone other than Radegast. He then called on them to gather those they trust to fight the Warlords out in the open, calling on them to join him as Iron Lords, coining the name for the first time. Everyone present agreed without hesitation, and thus began the conflict against the Warlords.[2]

As the Iron Lords expanded their ranks, Lord Timur informed Radegast that the Warlord Felwinter was interested in joining the Iron Lords. Radegast and Timur were interested in using Felwinter Peak as their headquarters due to its defensible position, but were also intrigued by Felwinter's interest in the Warmind Rasputin, as Timur himself was seeking the technology known as SIVA to aid in the building of The Last City. The two Iron Lords met with Felwinter, but Radegast found himself unnerved by the Exo's seeming lack of emotion. Radegast questioned him about his interest in Rasputin as well as the civilians who lived below his peak in a small village before asking if he would give up his peak to the Iron Lords. Felwinter would only do so if his people were guaranteed the protection of the Iron Lords. Hearing this care for his people, Radegast gave Felwinter a small smile and welcomed him into the Iron Lords, stating that he needed to meet Saladin and learn how his people could go to the Last City.[3] Radegast introduced Felwinter to the rest of the Iron Lords leadership, although this first meeting went poorly due to the captured Ghost of a Warlord that Felwinter was revealed to keep welded into the back of his helmet.[4]

The Warlord Conflict

Amongst the Warlords whom Radegast personally engaged was Rience. The Iron Lords laid siege to his stronghold, causing Rience to invite them to negotiate. Radegast, Jolder, and Perun met to determine what to do, with Jolder suggesting they goad him into accepting single combat between two champions. Radegast and Perun parlayed with the Warlord while Jolder prepared to serve as the Iron Lords champion, and they managed to get Rience to agree to their terms.[5]

Eventually the Lords ended the reign of the Warlords and established secured the Last City behind strong walls, although some Warlords remained and the Fallen threatened the peace. Seeking to restore civilization and establish more cities, Radegast and Timur supported Felwinter after he discovered the location of SIVA within Site 6, located in the Cosmodrome of Old Russia. The Iron Lords debated the merits of taking the technology from the Warmind, but ultimately decided to go with Felwinter's plan in order to secure the future of humanity.[6] Radegast was one of the many Iron Lords who went into the what would later be named the Plaguelands in search of SIVA. Of all that went in, Radegast was one of the eight to meet their end in the SIVA replication chamber, containing SIVA at the cost of their lives.

Legacy

In the present, the new generation of Iron Lords can take up his artifact, if they prove themselves worthy to Tyra Karn. Those who use it gain an ability reflecting his status as a swordsman; when using a sword, Guardians gain the power to reflect energy-based attack from agents of the darkness and contenders in the Crucible when using a sword's guard function.
