The Iron Maiden
Name: The Iron Maiden (아이언 메이든)
Affiliation: Dowlais Ironworks
Birth Date: 1755. 2. 4
Gender: Female
Hair Style: A pristine, neatly parted bob cut of platinum silver-white hair, styled in a sleek, chin-length frame that sweeps gently over her left brow, reflecting her orderly and uncompromising personality.
Face Detail: She possesses a serene, porcelain-pale face of statuesque composure. Her drooping, pale-sapphire blue eyes harbor both a warm maternal calmness and a cold, calculation suited for business. Her lobes are adorned with elegant, octagonal rose-pink gemstone earrings set in white gold, offering a soft feminine touch to her stark demeanor.
Dress: She wears a highly structured, masculine-tailored charcoal tailcoat over a crisp, white high-collared pleated blouse. A voluminous, ruffled white cravat cascade sits beneath her throat, secured by an intricate, starburst-set ruby brooch. Her high-waisted black trousers are held by a dual-chain silver beaded belt, and her hands are perpetually protected by supple black leather gloves.
Overall Appearance: She radiates a striking, paradoxical blend of impeccable corporate refinement and industrial brutality. Despite handling soot and molten metal, she remains impeccably clean, casting a imposing silhouette as a mother of five who wields ironclad authority with soft, gentle features.
Equipment:
- Sledge of the Devoted Father (아버지의 연철 해머) - A massive, heavy pneumatic sledgehammer crafted from treated industrial iron, brass fittings, and ticking clockwork dials. Powered by pressurized vapor recycled from processed carbon, the hammer features a combustion chamber that periodically vents thick, hissing white steam from its crown, boasting enough force to shatter steel plates or smash defenses into splinters.
Personality: She loves her family. She also loves her employees as if they were family. However, the way that love is expressed is different. To her children, she is a warm parent who shows affection like a “mother.” To her employees, she is a cold parent who, like a “father,” never shows any vulnerability and is determined to provide for them no matter what it takes. Yet the fact remains that she is a cruel figure who played a major role in the genocide.
Character Background: Jemima Revel Phillips, from Shifnal, married Thomas Guest—the son of John Guest (1722 ~ 1787), post of works manager at Dowlais Ironworks—in 1776, becoming Jemima Revel Guest. At the time, the company was struggling in the wake of the Great Depression, and Jemima and Thomas also had to endure difficult times. At that time, Jemima took an interest in a recently emerging technology 'Recycling of Corpses' and decided to stake the company’s future on it. John Guest and Thomas Guest opposed the use of this seemingly unsavory technology, but Jemima firmly persuaded them that, since this was the only gamble left to keep the employees fed, they had no choice but to accept it. She dismissed them as cowards. She argued that since it would be her own soul that would be tainted by using such a distasteful technology, they should place her in that “dirty” position and step back from the front lines. After much persuasion, she succeeded in her plan and, as CEO of Dowlais Ironworks, actively implemented the corpse recycling technology. Her gamble paid off, and Dowlais Ironworks grew into a massive corporation in a short period of time. However, having amassed wealth and notoriety through this filthy and horrific technology, she became the “coward” she had called her father-in-law and husband. She eventually reached a point where she no longer wished to sully herself any further. The turning point came in 1781 with the birth of her daughter, Rosamund Guest. But this also meant she was now a mother with a child to support, so she had no choice but to continue providing for her family and remain in her position as CEO. Fortunately for her, it was “the CEO of Dowlais Ironworks” who was infamous, not “Jemima Revel Guest” herself. Thereafter, she had the name “Jemima Revel Guest” completely erased from the company’s records and, using either gentle and conciliatory methods or threatening and cruel ones with those who knew her real name, ensured that only the name “The Iron Maiden” was used in her place. And she became “Jemima Revel Guest” only in front of her children, striving to be an ordinary, loving mother. She went on to become the mother of five children—Rosamund Guest, Mary Ann Guest, Josiah John Guest, Sarah Guest, and Eliza Guest, who was born in 1788. While she appears to be a caring mother to her children, as the head of Dowlais Ironworks, she displays a cold-blooded, business-like demeanor to ensure her employees’ livelihoods.

서기 1788년, 웨일스의 하늘은 단 한 순간도 푸른빛을 허락받지 못한 것처럼 잿빛 증기로 가득 차 있었다. 다울라이스 철강의 거대한 굴뚝들은 마치 대지를 짓누르는 거인들의 손가락처럼 솟아올라, 끊임없이 검은 매연을 뿜어대며 대기를 오염시키고 있었다. 기계의 불협화음과 쇠가 부딪치는 고막을 찢는 소음이 진동하는 공장 내부, 붉게 타오르는 용광로의 열기가 살가죽을 태울 듯이 밀려드는 그곳에 그녀가 서 있었다.
철강회사의 지배자, 아이언 메이든은 한 치의 흐트러짐도 없는 모습으로 제 자리를 지키고 있었다. 은백색의 단정한 단발머리는 차가운 공장의 조명 아래에서 백금빛으로 빛났고, 그 아래로 드러난 석고상처럼 굳어 있는 무표정한 얼굴은 기계보다도 냉정해 보였다. 그녀는 가슴팍의 풍성한 하얀 크라바트 위에 고정된 루비 브로치만큼이나 붉은 용광로의 불길을, 차가운 사파이어 빛 눈동자로 고요히 내려다보고 있었다. 가죽 장갑을 낀 그녀의 두 손은 묵직한 기계식 해머, '아버지의 연철 해머'의 자루를 무겁게 움켜쥐고 있었다.
"공정률이 떨어졌군."
낮게 가라앉은 그녀의 목소리는 시끄러운 증기 소음을 뚫고 현장 감독관의 귓전에 칼날처럼 박혔다. 평소의 나긋나긋한 모성애는 흔적조차 찾을 수 없는, 오직 차가운 수치와 효율만을 계산하는 사업가의 목소리였다. 검은 가죽 장갑을 낀 손가락이 미세하게 해머의 손잡이를 고쳐 잡자, 해머의 실린더에서 치익 하는 거친 백색 증기가 뿜어져 나와 그녀의 장트라슈 구두 주위를 휘감았다.
"하지만 회장님, 최근 공급받은 '원자재'의 질이 좋지 못해 정련 과정에서 불순물이 많이 섞여 나오는 바람에…."
현장 감독관은 이마에 흐르는 식은땀과 검댕을 훔쳐내며 더듬거렸다. 그가 말하는 '원자재'란 다름 아닌 죽은 인간의 시체였다. 영양실조와 질병으로 피골이 상접한 빈민들의 시체에서 추출한 원료는 강도가 떨어질 수밖에 없었다.
"이유는 변명이 되지 않아."
그녀가 차갑게 말을 잘랐다. 낙차 큰 푸른 눈동자에는 일말의 동정심이나 망설임도 존재하지 않았다. 그녀에게 있어 인간의 육신이란 오직 철강의 탄소 함유량을 조절하고 경도를 높이기 위한 효율적인 첨가제, 그 이상도 이하도 아니었다. 도덕적 고뇌나 인도주의적 배려는 이미 몇 해 전, 스스로가 선택한 탐욕의 무게 아래 묻어버린 지 오래였다.
"공장의 화력은 멈춰 서는 안 된다. 내 노동자들이 굶주리게 방치하느니, 차라리 아일랜드의 영안실을 통째로 털어서라도 가마를 채워라. 뉴커먼 은행에 즉시 연락해서 공급망을 두 배로 늘리도록 지시해. 만약 다음 분기 수출 물량에 차질이 생긴다면… 그 정련로 안으로 직접 들어가는 것은 원자재만이 아닐 것이다."
말을 마친 그녀는 들고 있던 연철 해머를 바닥으로 무겁게 내려놓았다. 쿵 하는 육중한 파열음과 함께 강철 격자판 바닥이 비명 지르듯 진동했다. 기압계의 눈금이 치솟고, 연실로부터 뿜어져 나오는 차가운 한기가 그녀의 잿빛 테일코트 자락을 휘날리게 만들었다.
피도 눈물도 없는 철강의 여제. 일터에서의 그녀는 부하 직원들의 생계를 책임져야 한다는 오직 단 하나의 집념만을 품은 채, 그 뒤에 가려진 희생에는 눈을 감아버린 지옥의 사냥개에 불과했다. 그녀는 아무런 감정이 담기지 않은 시선으로, 붉게 끓어오르는 용광로 속에서 녹아내리는 육신의 흔적들을 무심히 응시할 뿐이었다.

In the year of our Lord 1788, the skies of Wales were choked with a leaden haze of steam, as if forbidden from ever beholding a single moment of azure clarity. The colossal smokestacks of Dowlais Ironworks rose like the fingers of heavy giants pinning down the earth, incessantly spewing black soot to taint the very atmosphere. Amidst the discord of machinery and the deafening shriek of colliding metal vibrating through the plant, where the sheer, suffocating heat of the glowing furnaces threatened to scorch the flesh from one's bones, she stood.
The sovereign of the ironworks, "The Iron Maiden," remained at her post, her posture immaculate and unyielding. Her pristine, neatly parted platinum silver-white bob gleamed under the cold industrial lamps, framing a serene, statuesque face as unmoving as the machines themselves. With pale-sapphire blue eyes harboring a chilly composure, she quietly looked down upon the infernal glare of the smelting furnace, the ruby on her starburst-set brooch as crimson as the fire itself. Her hands, clad in supple black leather gloves, firmly gripped the heavy shaft of the pneumatic sledgehammer, the "Sledge of the Devoted Father."
"The production rate has dropped."
Her low, grounded voice cut through the clamor of escaping steam, striking the ears of the floor manager like a cold blade. It was the voice of an uncompromising businesswoman calculating numbers and efficiency—barren of any warm maternal calmness she might otherwise possess. As her gloved fingers subtly adjusted her grip on the hammer's handle, the combustion chamber hissed, venting a thick cloud of white vapor that swirled around the cuffs of her high-waisted black trousers.
"But, Madame… the quality of the 'raw materials' we received recently was subpar, leaving far too many impurities to filter during the refining process…"
The floor manager stammered, wiping away soot and cold sweat from his forehead. The "raw materials" he referred to were none other than human corpses. Relics of the impoverished, withered by famine and disease, naturally lacked the carbon quality needed to yield premium-grade steel.
"I have no interest in excuses," she interrupted, her voice flat and unyielding.
Her drooping blue eyes showed neither sympathy nor hesitation. To her, human flesh was merely an industrial additive—a carbon source to regulate the hardness of her smelted steel, nothing more, nothing less. Moral anxiety and humanitarian concerns had long been buried years ago beneath the weight of her own ambition.
"The furnace fire must never falter. I will not have my workers starve; if we must empty the mortuaries of Ireland to feed the cauldrons, then so be it. Contact Newcomen Bank immediately and demand they double our supply. If the export quotas for the next quarter are compromised… the raw materials won't be the only things going into those refining vats."
With those final words, she let the heavy pneumatic hammer fall to the floor. A dull, metallic thud shook the iron grating underfoot, vibrating with heavy authority. As the steam hissed from the vents, a draft of chilled air caught the tail of her charcoal coat, sending a shudder through the damp air of the factory floor.
The cold-blooded Empress of Iron. Within these walls, she was a specter of absolute pragmatism, determined to provide for her employees while blinding herself to the horrific costs paid in flesh. She simply stared down into the boiling orange crucible, watching the last traces of human form dissolve into the molten white steel.

World Setting
Several decades ago, Britain entered a period of decline due to a terrible plague and famine, falling far behind France and Germany, the pioneers of the Industrial Revolution, economically. As Britain withered away from the Great Depression and starvation, one day in 1775 it discovered a technology so brilliant it was almost blinding. The Recycling of corpses. Fuel produced by reprocessing corpses demonstrated overwhelming efficiency compared to coal, and materials created from reprocessed corpses showed far superior quality to any other materials. Through an industry cultivated using materials obtained from morgues and execution sites, Britain escaped the Great Depression, surpassed other nations, and entered an unprecedented era of prosperity. However, that prosperity did not last long. The number of corpses began to dwindle. Believing that without corpses, the nation's economy would itself turn to corpses, the British ultimately found a mad solution to sustain their economic boom. A taboo that must never leak to other nations. Now, in 1788, within Britain's sealed economic boom, horrific massacres occur daily.

British Royal Family
In 1780, the royal family residing in the British palace vanished without a trace, and Parliament was dissolved. In this unprecedented situation where all public officials vanished in an instant, a woman calling herself “Isabella the She-Wolf” emerged. She claimed to be the hidden illegitimate child of the royal family and asserted that, with no king to lead the nation and no Parliament, she had no choice but to become the new queen. With the support of corporations, she suppressed the skeptical public opinion and ascended the throne. The new royal family, reorganized under her, now handles diplomacy and trade for the blockaded nation. They purchase goods through deals with corporations, exporting these products to other countries or importing goods from abroad. On the surface, the royal family appears to serve merely as Britain's figurehead, possessing little actual political power and functioning more like a public institution handling external affairs. However, the royal family, deeply entangled with the four major corporations, wields influence far greater than its outward appearance suggests.
