The Iron Wolves were formed around 1264 by veteran mercenary Asheara.
Asheara spent many years as a member of various unscrupulous mercenary outfits. Despising the brutal tactics employed by these groups, she eventually forged the Iron Wolves, a group that would hold honor and duty above all else.[1]
They dedicate themselves to defending the innocent and punishing wrongdoers. Skilled in combat and magic, they operate as a cohesive unit, with members supporting one another. When a member dies, their belongings are divided among the group. In the quest A Wolf's Honor you are tasked with doing precisely that, retrieving a fallen mercenaries' belongings.
Iron Wolves in Diablo II and Diablo III
The Iron Wolves have appeared in Diablo II, III and now IV. In Diablo II they were hirelings you could hire from Asheara. Although they were equipped with swords and a shield they mostly stayed at the back and instead used their elemental-based attacks. In Diablo III they weren't hired but assisted you with a bounty event in the Dahlgur Oasis, just southwest of the Iron Wolves Encampment.(Map). Again their attacks were elemental-based.
Iron Wolves in Diablo 4
The Iron Wolves Encampment sits in the east of Kehjistan. (Map) This is a mini settlement with a couple of vendors, a healer, a stash and a waypoint. Haddad is the Iron Wolves Quartermaster and he'll give you the quest A Wolf's Honor. Diablo IV takes place in 1336 so their founder, Asheara is long dead but there is a unique dagger named in her honor, Asheara's Khanjar which you can target farm from Lord Zir.
There are several quests involving them.
Iron Wolves in Season 4
The Iron Wolves were the main theme for Season 4. Players had to sell out Iron Wolves commander Soudeh the Anvil. Mysteriously, members of their ranks have been dying under suspicious circumstances. In order to earn the Iron Wolves' favor players had to find the source of the killing.
As part of the Season quest line, rewards for helping the Iron Wolves included Tempering Manuals and Iron Wolf events inside Helltides persisted beyond Season 4.
