Biography: A Night Guard patrol found him as a colt in Canterlot's alleyway's. He was surrounded by three bodies of other ponies who were holding knifes in their mouths and were slain. The colt they found was next to a long broadsword stained with blood and at least twice the length of the colt. The guards asked what happened and the colt told them he killed them because they were trying to mug him. The Night Guard then asked his name and he replied with Ironblood. Ironblood was then asked where did he live and he replied on the streets, obviously this brought up the question of who were his parents and where were they.

Ironblood replied with "My parents were both captured by Diamond dogs when I was about six in Appleloosa."

They asked him how he got here and who's sword was it he had. He claimed that he was a stowaway on a cart that was going to Canterlot, he also said that the sword was his fathers, he took it when he was hiding in the house when the Diamond dogs captured his parents at side. His parents yelled out for him to stay in as they saw the dogs starting to erupt from the ground around them. His dad tried to fight back with another sword he had just finished making but was overwhelmed by six dogs, they punched and kicked him till he could barely stand before they took him.

While two of the guards heard the story, one of the guards went to get Princess Luna, whilst the two left just standing dragged the bodies so they laid side by side, for the Princess to see when she came.

The Princess of the Night was there in record speed as soon as one of her guards told her. She sent her guards away whilst she talked to Ironblood, she first stuided the bodies and noticed two were Earth ponies and one was a Unicorn. One of the Earth ponies was stabbed through the chest, whilst the second one had a massive gash where his left eye should've been and he had been stabbed through his muzzle. The Unicorn had be stabbed through the neck. Princess Luna instantly asked if he was sure he killed them. He nodded shaking. She asked him how did he beat them, he said he used his sword to kill them, because they were going to kill him for the sword. She asked if the Unicorn used it's magic to help, and Ironblood nodded. He claimed that Magic doesn't affect as much as everypony else for some reason. Luna tested this theory right there and then by trying to lift him up with her magic. She was able to lift him up however face major resistances and had to drop him down after a few seconds. The Princess then asked about his Cutie Mark, and he claimed he had it ever since he learned how to fight with his Dad, always beating him in sparring. Luna instantly asked Ironblood to come with her which he did.

Princess Luna asked Ironblood if he wanted to join the New Lunar Republic, but as her own personal student. Ironblood instantly accepted, but then thought and asked what would happen to him because he killed three ponies. Luna said she would tell Celestia that she found three bodies in the alleyway like this to cover for him. She did not mention anything about Ironblood about this, and Princess Celestia still doesn't know about him. Princess Luna made her guards that found the bodies swear an oath that they would not say anything about Ironblood and the true cause of death to the bodies, any they did swear an oath.

She trained him personally with two other ponies around his age and learnt his weaknesses and strengths. The two other ponies often sparred with him and each other. She sent him up against her Night Guard General when he was fourteen as a spar and beat the General. Ironblood was instantly promoted as a General with two others at this time for the New Lunar Republic. These are the first three ponies to ever be a General in the New Lunar Republic. Princess Luna was able to give the two other ponies a spell which allowed them to change what form of Equine they wanted. (Excludes Changelings and Alicorns). Princess Luna could not perform this spell on Ironblood due to his magic resistance. Ironblood contiunes to train with the other two Generals. Celestia now knows of him and the other Generals, but believe them to be Generals of the Night Guard. Celestia doesn't even know about the New Lunar Republic, as they are much more trained then the Night Gaurd and more secretive.

Ironblood is one of the strongest warriors ever seen in Equestrian History but is to easily enraged and is always eager for a fight.
