Era-DSD


"They turn us on ourselves; if they don't kill us all, we will kill ourselves."
—Irons[1]

Samuel Irons was an engineering specialist and Unitologist who worked aboard the USG Ishimura. He was a very large man with strong faith in his religion.

Biography

"I'm not a hero, just a man." He first appeared when a protesting crowd of workers demanded to see the Marker. He manages to calm down the crowd by telling them that if they interfere, the scientists of the Church will be unable to decipher the meaning of the inscriptions and thus ruin a chance of enlightenment.

Irons later appears during an attack on Alissa Vincent and her crew. He manages to save them using a mining tool called the plasma saw, having discovered that the Necromorphs die faster if they are dismembered. He eventually had joined their crew and helped make it to the bridge where they discovered that the gravitational controls had been overridden and the ship was on course to crash into Aegis 7. Along the way to the control room the crew discovered a group of survivors being attacked by Necromorphs.

Vincent offered to distract the Necromorphs while Irons and Ramirez would have helped the survivors escape. Irons, however, forced Vincent to relinquish her role and he instead distracted the Necromorphs. He fought valiantly but ultimately was stabbed in the chest and surrounded by Necromorphs. Mortally wounded and surrounded, Irons resigned himself to his fate and was killed while muttering a verse from a book of Unitology. After he was killed by the Necromorphs, he was transformed into one by an Infector right before Vincent and Ramirez's eyes. He can be seen as a Necromorph briefly later on.
