He might be the best character in any From Software game.

After winning the battle against two dragons at once, you hear laughter.
And reader, you should absolutely summon Igon in the fight against Bayle.
The sad vanity and arrogance of some of those people caused them to miss out on Igon.
None is so fascinating as the story of Igon, though.
The thing about Bayle is that he is, like, the worst and most-evil dragon.
He once fought the dragon Elden Lord, the multi-headed Lord Placidusax, to a standstill.
Actor Richard Lintern (The Crown) makes his video game debut in voicing Igon and absolutely slaughters it.
The monologue is totally unexpected, and it’s what makes Igon incredible.
He comes into this fight ready to domurder, literally too angry to die.
I can’t stress enough how much of a phenomenal madman Igon is.
This dudejust met me.
Did he go up against the dragon alone?
Is that what happened to his legs?
He takes a minute to lament his fate and deal with the overwhelming pain, and you leave him.
And then you find him again, where he watches you kill a couple of dragons.
Shadow of the Erdtree’s Captain Ahab will stop at nothing to kill that damnable dragon.
Beating a challenging boss is cool, but I’ll remember Bayle a lot longer because of Igon.
