Jonathan Irons

Jonathan Irons is the founder and CEO of the Atlas Corporation.

Early Life
Jonathan Irons was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1996 to parents Robert and Anna Irons. He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point beginning in 2015, and served as an officer in the United States Army for eighteen years.

Atlas Corporation
Irons service in the Army taught him to appreciate the value of a soldier that is a well-trained, reliable, and highly-motivated professional. However, he came to believe that the bureaucratic inefficiency of the military command structure and the government that backed it hamstrung even the most dedicated fighting force. Believing that he could do better, Irons founded the Atlas Corporation in 2035, utilizing his connections within the United States military and other powerful organizations to do so.

In the four decades since, Irons has led the Atlas Corporation to become the largest private military company in the world, and his leadership and drive led to Atlas becoming the first internationally-recognized extraterritorial megacorporation.

Personal Life
Jonathan Irons' family life has been marked by tragedy, which some have suggested has led to many of the policy decisions he has enacted within Atlas.

Irons married Julia Randall in June of 2032, shortly before his retirement from the United States Army. Their son, William Robert Irons, was born the following May.

Julia Irons was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer in 2045, and passed away in November of that year. Following her death, Jonathan Irons dedicated the Atlas headquarters building in Denver, Colorado to her memory, and shifted a great deal of Atlas's investment portfolio into medical research.

William Irons joined the United States Marine Corps in January of 2054. The following July saw Private Irons' first combat deployment, part of a joint effort between the South Korean military and the United States Marine Corps to repel a North Korean invasion of Seoul. Private Irons was critically wounded during the battle, and succumbed to his injuries three days later in a U.S. military hospital.

Since the deaths of his wife and only child, Irons is not known to have been involved in any romantic relationships, and seems to be wholly dedicated to his work leading the Atlas Corporation.
