Date Of Birth: April 10, ??; East London, England, UK
OCCUPATION: CEO, Irons' International Investments & Holdings

Enormously successful businessman, Kenneth Irons, is a highly respected figure in the world of high finance. Irons' veneer of respectability hides a darker side though; he is also a powerful influence within the world of organized crime.

However, for all his wealth, power, and influence, Irons cannot possess that which he covets: the Witchblade.

Kenneth's obsession began in the late 1800's when he unearthed the mystical gauntlet in an archeological dig outside Athens. He studied his prize intensely, seeking to uncover its secrets. His wife, Danette Boucher, fell prey to Irons' machinations when he made her his test subject in an experiment to force the Witchblade upon a host.

This experiment was a failure which alienated him from Danette. From that day onwards, Irons was not only obsessed with the Witchblade, but also with the thought of who was to become its next wielder. To this end, Irons conducted horrific "tournaments" where members of the criminal underworld, tempted by the lure of unimaginable power, would try wearing the Witchblade... with bloody results.

It was at such a tournament that Sara Pezzini acquired the Witchblade, forever enmeshing her life with Irons.
