Biography
Hissrad was a male Qunari who inhabited the world that included the continent of Thedas. He was raised in the schools of Par Vollen by he tamassrans where he had the name of Ashkaari at the time. His size and age saw him being considered as a secondary caregiver to the other children where he reported to the tamassrans on any issues among them. However, Ashkaari would often get into trouble where one one occasion he ate all the meat on his plate but left the vegetables untouched. This saw his 'Tama' telling him that he would not be allowed to go and play unless he ate two more things off his plate. He then took two pieces of meat he had hidden in his pocket and put it on the plate which he ate whereupon he left to play. As a result, Tama concluded that Ashkaari would make a poor Qunari soldier as he was not obedient to the spirit of the order and instead looked at the letter of the command given to him. This saw her recommending that Ashkaari be assigned to the ranks of the Ben-Hassrath. Thus, he became inducted into their ranks and underwent training where he gained his informal name of 'Hissrad'.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, the Iron Bull was a great horned giant of a man who looked like a savage but spoke like a gentleman. As a Qunari, his people did not know the concept of personal identities and lacked names but were rather given titles that served as their name. As such, his title had changed over the years where the name Iron Bull came to be a nickname he chose for himself when he operated among the other races.
In combat, he seemed unstoppable though he was far more clever than a simple swordsman.
In Orlais, he came to be accustomed to life outside of the teachings of the Qun such as indulging in hedonistic pursuits or maintaining interpersonal relationships. Despite this being the case, he still maintained his duties to the Qunari government.
Powers and abilities
Originally, he was a member of the Ben-Hassrath where he used to hunt spies, rebels, and deserters on behalf of his superiors. He came to be the founder of a famous mercenary company known as the Bull Chargers. They were noted for being costly but highly effective soldiers.
