The Iron Lords: Colovance
Hey, Analytical Ghost here.
Rise of Iron has given us the opportunity to put many of our favorite iron lord's stories to rest. Including the one whom was tasked with a duty, Colovance.
Colovance was a warlock, most likely due to his artifact being a warlock artifact, "Colovance's choice."
The card "Ghost Fragment: Dark Ages 3" detail the journal of Colovance.
[quote]I have followed his latest missives on SIVA and it is flooded with mania. Whatever he thinks this Clovis Bray might hold would make you believe that they were the only entity of any technical know-how, that they owned every piece of that tarnished Golden Age. [/quote]
In the card, he calls the man he's describing his "master". This person was most likely Timur, due to Timur being the one who researched SIVA, using the records of Clovis Bray. Through the card, Colovance describes his suspicion of likely danger to come, saying
[quote]I write this because I fear none of the others knows or senses it. He has been so thorough, so right, until now. Something snapped, infected him, turned him against his own sense of logic and reason.[/quote]
Colovance was not of the 9 who reached the replication chamber. This is evident in the "Dormant Siva: Iron Lords 2.1" card.
[quote]Colovance died by the tanker. Dozens of frames, hundreds, more... he cut them down until he ran out of bullets. Then he smashed them ~consume enhance replicate~. It was not enough.[/quote]
Colovance served his duty that he pledged to the iron lords, dying with the rest of the iron lords. His duty is detailed in the item description of his artifact, "Colovance's Choice."
[quote]"I will fight to stop the fighting. If that means I must die, then I choose death." —Lord Colovance[/quote]
He served this purpose well, fighting to find siva, to end the effects of the collapse. To help his friends make it to the replication chamber. He could have chosen to not follow his master, to not fight Siva. But he chose to fight, and that is why he is honored.

Including the one whom was tasked with a duty, Colovance." This reminded me of a scene from Nacho Libre: [i]Monk: This is the worst lunch I ever had. Señor Ramon: Your only job is to cook. Do you not realize I have had diarrhea since Easters?! Nacho: Ok... Maybe I am not meant for these duties. Cooking duty. Dead guy duty. Maybe it's time for me to get a better duty![/i]

4 Replies1. Don't know why everyone is getting so caught up in this iron lord/iron wolf debate. The iron wolf term was an insult created by warlords to apply to any iron lord. Bungie's story team even confirmed this in an interview. Don't remember the exact one, it was the same one where they talked about Felwinter's Lie. 2. Don't remember which card, but it states in the Grimoire that Colovance was Timur's student.

22 RepliesColovance was an Iron Wolf not an Iron lord. The Iron Lords are Saladin, Efrideet, Radegast, Gheleon, Jolder, Perun, Silimar, Felwinter, Timur, and Skorri.

21 RepliesThe colovance's duty was a pathetic scout rifle. He is not worthy to be a iron lord or wolf. jokes apart good work op
-
3 RepliesClovance (sorry if misspelled) is one of the iron wolves. All the old iron wolves had a name
-
16 RepliesYea I think its was an iron wolf. Tormed, dedris, covalance, nirwin are all some of them. There were 9 I believe.
-
8 RepliesAll the year 2 iron banner weapon names are the iron wolves: Colovance, Finalla, Ashraven, Nirwen.......
-
2 RepliesI don't think that class items and artifacts are a good way to determine a class. Plus, as it has been said before, we're not entirely sure that the Iron Lords had to follow the whole class and subclass division. [spoiler]and whos to day that a Hunter or Titan can't be students of warlocks?[/spoiler] Otherwise I like what you're doing so bump

3 RepliesEdited by xJPerk: 10/13/2016 8:29:54 AMColovance wasn't an og iron lord. He was an iron wolf, a second wave of iron lords inspired by the originals.

16 RepliesA friend of mine and I went through theories for the 4 missing statues in the Temple. We assumed they represent the dead, which leaves our theories. The first two are obviously Saladin and Efrideet, and we concluded the last two to be Weyloran (if she is one, in fact) and Colovance. I had a ridiculous theory of Gjallarhorn being a name of a Lord, but we dismissed it shortly afterwords of reading on Lord Colovance.

1 ReplyRemember when all we had on iron lords were the weapons and their descriptions? Good times

72 RepliesIsnt Covolance an Iron Wolf?

5 RepliesSince nobody reads or listens to the grimoire or the creators. Iron wolves and iron lords are the same thing. Iron wolves are what the warlords called them but Coming from them it was meant as a derogatory term. Until the iron lords took a liking to the name(or just didn't care) and started using it themselves. Both terms are interchangeable and have the same status. Once the risen pledged themselves to the iron lords they also became lords(wolves). Read the grimoire it's not that hard kiddies.

9 RepliesIf all Rasputin had were conventional weapons, how could he have permanently killed so many Iron Lords? Doesn't it either take dark power (like Crota wielded) or some crazy nanotechnology like SIVA to kill Guardians (which Iron Lords essentially are)?
-
8 RepliesI want to learn more about Ashraven but I've only found one grimoire card about her
-
8 RepliesI thought artifacts being class specific have a clue as to the class of the person it was named for. I think Bungie is trying to tell us that isn't necessarily the case. Deidris's Fist is a hunter artifact. Deidris was a titan.
-
5 RepliesColovance is actually an Iron Wolf, not an Iron Lord
-
10 RepliesInteresting read, but I have one small issue. Are we entirely sure he was a Warlock? [quote]Colovance died by the tanker. Dozens of frames, hundreds, more... he cut them down until he ran out of bullets. Then he smashed them ~consume enhance replicate~. It was not enough.[/quote] "Then he smashed them" doesn't seem all too Warlock-esque. Now I understand the relic is for Warlocks, but this is just an additional point to consider.

Thanks
