| '''Mr Iron''' is the [[Master of the Bazaar]] who governs trade in tools, engines, weapons, and printing presses.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Sidebar_Snippets|Sidebar Snippets|Fallen London}} ''"Tools, printing-presses, guns, steam-engines: taxes from trade in these are payable to Mr Iron. They say it never speaks, but can write with both hands simultaneously."''</ref> Silent and humorless, it is best known for communicating only through written means, often writing with both hands at once. It also heads the Iron and Misery Company, and supervises its Funging Station in [[Demeaux Island]], one of the most abhorrent places in the Neath.<ref>{{Citation|https://sunlesssea.gamepedia.com/Demeaux_Island|Demeaux Island|Sunless Sea}}''"Iron & Misery Company Funging Station"''</ref>
