'''Ironwatsas''' is the current leaders of the [[Consortium]] in Sirius as of 815 A.S. He is known to be a brilliant if extremely cold and mechanistic military leader, a skilled diplomat, and has in less then 3 years, brought the Consortium out of the shadows as a ring of interconnected spies into a highly organised and equipped military Insurgency. Prior to joining the Consortium, he was a freelance mercenary pilot operating around Sirius. Following his near-death at the hands of the [[Kusari Naval Forces]] during a raid on [[Planet Harris]], he was abducted by the Consortium and his conciousness transferred into an ''Artificial Intelligence'', and placed into a Robotic body.

'''Ironwatsas''' is an individual formerly thought to be a megalomaniacal cyborg, formerly the leader of the [[Consortium]]. However, new revelations indicate this is not the case, and that Watsas is something altogether different and more powerful, and that the Consortium was simply a temporary tool of his will...

His only known living relative is ''CobaltWatsas'', his brother and an operative of the Junker Congress. Though given the prior extent of the Watsas family line, and the fact that many of their relatives were far off the radar, it is possible that others may be alive and around.

Though given the prior extent of the Watsas family line, and the fact that many of their relatives were far off the radar, it is possible that others may be alive and around. However, as CobaltWatsas disappeared at around the same time as Ironwatsas, the connections between the two are vastly different then previously assumed. Was cobaltwatsas simply Ironwatsas' creation?

Watsas was known to be a charasmatic, if cold, devious, and ruthless puppetmaster, this remains true even post-revelation.

During his time in Sirius, he forged what would become the Consortium from the ground up for unknown reasons (it is possible that most origin stories about that organization are true, and Watsas' intervention simply accellerated the matter) and chose Kusari out of all the other houses as his victim. Despite the Consortium making little overall progress, Watsas appeared satisfied and undeterred by routine failure despite overwhelmingly superior intellect and technology.
  
−
Watsas' current Robotic body deliberately resembles and uses parts in common with Consortium ''Blackwatch'' elite infantry and special forces units. It's dimensions are roughly equivalent to a heavily built human male wearing body armor, with a gross weight of about 2.4 tonnes. The current Mk-II model is made of an external Shock absorbing 'Hug Layer', made of High-strength reinforced, heat resistant textiles and fibered [[Super Alloy]] weaves. Beneath this layer is a series of high-impact foam pads laced with energy-distributing [[superconductors]]. This outer layer serves as a shock absorber and disguises Watsas' metallic skeleton.
+
Watsas is also known for being stoic and calm, inhumanly so, even when dealing with entities such as Nomads, Phantoms, or the leaders of nations. He is also quite intelligent, being 'in the know' about most goings on in Sirius, and being able to form complex and often brilliant strategies to various ends.
  
−
Beneath the outer layer, Watsas' internals vaguely resemble a metallic human skeleton made of an unknown metallic alloy. Little information is available on his internal workings, though it is known that he makes no audible noise when operating, save for indicator chimes. He occasionally enters a 'sleep mode' wherein it is believed he somehow recharges internal batteries. He is known to be able to manage wireless communication with his subordinates via the Consortium neurocyte network and can if required directly interface with compatible computer equipment via built in jacks and cables.
+
Perhaps his failure was intentional?
  
−
Watsas' head contains a multifunction visual and audio sensor suite, as well as an enhanced reality sensor system containing laser rangefinders, miniaturized radar and sonar displays, infrared detectors, as well as thermal cameras, gas and radiation detectors, and part of his wireless communication system. This is encased inside a headpiece identical to a Blackwatch elite, with a ultra high impact plastic-like material cowling, with an exposed sensor iris in the center and audio pickup units roughly where 'ears' would be. The Iris emits light when active, and seems to change color to indicate 'mood'. It also functions as a focusing lens which can emit a low-power laser beam which is mainly used for targeting, communication, but can achieve high enough wavelengths to blind opponents.

The arm and leg joints operate using a unique maglev system and high viscosity gel as opposed to mechanical servos. This allows Watsas' a degree of mobility exceeding that of an un-augmented human. It also allows for massively increased strength, although several mechanical safeties are built in to ensure that Watsas cannot inadvertently crush humans or other objects unintentionally (though these can be de-activated with a thought if he does need to do so). While Watsas is designed for combat, he is rarely seen in person, though he has been known to directly operate remote controlled drone ships and robotic bodies identical to his own. It is theorized, but unknown, if he can transfer his active consciousness between these bodies.
+
The stated records of Watsas indicated he worked as a Freelance pilot and occasionally as a mercenary. Shortly after the Nomad war, he worked as a courier for a smuggler ring affiliated with the [[Corsairs]]. During which, he was ambushed by [[Outcasts|Outcast]] pirates and managed to fight them off successfully. His skill earned the attention of the [[Hogosha]] based off of the [[Luxury Liner Hawaii]]. He performed several jobs for them (who were under the veil of anonymity at the time. However, he eventually wore out his use, and was framed by the Hogosha for artifact smuggling, and locked away in Fuchu prison.

Eventually, he was freed in a raid by the [[Blood Dragons]] and [[Golden Chrysanthemums]] and taken back to Ainu. It is unknown what went on afterward, but Watsas gained a significant degree of respect and admaration for the Sisterhood. Soon afterward, Watsas plotted his revenge as he went to Planet Harris on a job to rebuild his fortune, using a ship provided by the GC. Unfortunately, Watsas was cought in a bombing raid by KNF forces during their siege of harris. His ship was destroyed, and Watsas was cought in the blast.
  
−
Watsas retains much of his origional human personality to some degree, but above all else is devious, cold, calculating, and ruthless. As a result of his Cybernetic augmentation, he has what can be described as mutliple personality disorder, abiet highly controlled and conciouslly used to whatever ends he needs.
+
Immediately afterward, agents of the Consortium took Watsas' body to an unknown location (possibly the ''\CS\ Morningstar'') and proceeded to build him into a Cybernetic body. Watsas, with little free will at the time, proceeded to begin participating in Consortium operations. While Watsas was specifically created to be the new 'Overwatch' of the Consortium, he was first put through a series of trials in which he was unaware of his affiliation. Known operations include the ''Junker Air incident'', an abortive attempt to sell Rheinland [[Wraith]] class heavy fighters to the [[Red Hessian Army]], and ultimately the beginnings of the Consortium's build-up phase into the military force it is today.
  
−
Often, when dealing with non-consortium individuals, both friend and foe, he has been known to adopt a light hearted, silly, and often lunaticial personality. Often creating situations which could be described as humorous. This is most apparent in his dealings with the Golden Chrysanthemums, and allows him to socialise better with non-augmented humans. It has also been used as a counter-intelligence tool, as in his early presance in Kusari after augmentation, where he was described as a 'Raving Lunatic' during his interactions with the [[Farmers Alliance]] and KNF.
+
Eventually, Watsas returned to Kusari and sought refuge with the [[Golden Chrysanthemums]], where he worked as an unpaid mercenary to earn their and the Blood Dragons' trust over months and several battles with the Farmers Alliance and Kusari Naval forces. Ultimately, after the ''Morioka Incident'', the Consortium was revealed in earnest. Since then, Watsas has mainly remained on Ainu Depot, coordinating Consortium operations from his Laboratory and the ''Tea House'' there.
  
−
However, Watsas can also be a devious and cunning authoritarian figure when he has to be. He is still fully capable of human empathy, and the full range of emotions, which has been shown often in tense diplomatic negotiations with outside parties. Though his baseline persona is that of an emotionless, logical, machine. While some of his personalities may be genuine, and others simple fabrications, the basic root intellect is the same as that of any other Consortium soldier.

Little is known of Ironwatsas' childhood or early life before 781 A.S. The first records of him indicated he worked as a Freelance pilot and occasionally as a mercenary.

Profile
Origin Outside Sirius (and possibly the universe as we know it)
Affiliation Golden Chrysanthemums, Consortium, Unknown 'external' agencies(?)
Born April 23 779 A.S., Planet Houston (ostensibly, new revelations indicate he is perhaps far older then people would consider)
Died Still alive. Has left Sirius as of 818 A.S.

Ironwatsas is an individual formerly thought to be a megalomaniacal cyborg, formerly the leader of the Consortium. However, new revelations indicate this is not the case, and that Watsas is something altogether different and more powerful, and that the Consortium was simply a temporary tool of his will...

His only known living relative is CobaltWatsas, his brother and an operative of the Junker Congress.

However, as CobaltWatsas disappeared at around the same time as Ironwatsas, the connections between the two are vastly different then previously assumed. Was cobaltwatsas simply Ironwatsas' creation?

Personality

Watsas was known to be a charasmatic, if cold, devious, and ruthless puppetmaster, this remains true even post-revelation.

During his time in Sirius, he forged what would become the Consortium from the ground up for unknown reasons (it is possible that most origin stories about that organization are true, and Watsas' intervention simply accellerated the matter) and chose Kusari out of all the other houses as his victim. Despite the Consortium making little overall progress, Watsas appeared satisfied and undeterred by routine failure despite overwhelmingly superior intellect and technology.

Watsas is also known for being stoic and calm, inhumanly so, even when dealing with entities such as Nomads, Phantoms, or the leaders of nations. He is also quite intelligent, being 'in the know' about most goings on in Sirius, and being able to form complex and often brilliant strategies to various ends.

Perhaps his failure was intentional?

History

The stated records of Watsas indicated he worked as a Freelance pilot and occasionally as a mercenary. Shortly after the Nomad war, he worked as a courier for a smuggler ring affiliated with the Corsairs. During which, he was ambushed by Outcast pirates and managed to fight them off successfully. His skill earned the attention of the Hogosha based off of the Luxury Liner Hawaii. He performed several jobs for them (who were under the veil of anonymity at the time.

It is unknown what went on afterward, but Watsas gained a significant degree of respect and admaration for the Sisterhood. Soon afterward, Watsas plotted his revenge as he went to Planet Harris on a job to rebuild his fortune, using a ship provided by the GC.

Ultimately, after the Morioka Incident, the Consortium was revealed in earnest. Since then, Watsas has mainly remained on Ainu Depot, coordinating Consortium operations from his Laboratory and the Tea House there.

The Revelation

In 818 A.S., Watsas and several other individuals seemingly connected to him disappeared without warning. The Consortium was left in disarray and a number of ships owned by individuals related to watsas changed hands inexplicibly. A small trickle of information from several individuals began to piece together a picture of what had happened. Watsas had manipulated, or perhaps outright created several individuals, both human and Slomon K'hara, and had been manipulating them via unknown means.

Those he manipulated included the Golden Chrysanthemums, members of the Kusari Empire, the entirety of the Consortium, CobaltWatsas (if infact he wasn't just a creation of Ironwatsas' will), Iazyne-Aezali, Jonas Klein, Trade-Seamus, Naomi-Ichiyusei, Elfriede-Brigitta, the adolescant K'hara referred to as 'Sunlight', the crew of the Kusari Explorer Adriatic, Juan Maldonato, and possibly many more individuals.
