Black Gauntlet Hahns Rives, also simply known as Hahns Rives, is a human who oversees the Steel Watch Foundry's underground lab area. He is zealous and utterly devoted to Lord Gortash, often chanting Gortash's words back to himself. Hans will be hostile on sight, and so cannot be directly spoken to, but does have a number of ambient lines and battle quips. [note 1] They are referenced by a number of different books and notes that relate to the Iron Throne and Steel Watch Foundry areas.

History
Hahns Rives is the Black Gauntlet of the Foundry Lab Level in the Steel Watch Foundry. He was in charge of overseeing the Foundry's operations,[text 1] and ordering and controlling the gondian workers.[text 1] Hans was also in charge of sourcing a vessel and pilot; Redhammer, for transporting gondian hostages to the Iron Throne.[text 2] Previously a research facility for the Steel Watchers, the Iron Throne was converted into a prison, mainly to contain the hostages. [text 3]
With the production of Gortash's Steel Watchers reaching completion, Rives was ordered to begin winding down operations in the Foundry and executing any gondians who proved difficult. [text 1] Hahns also recieved orders from Lord Gortash, which he dispersed to the other banites, to sweep the Iron Throne and dispose of any leftover technical prototypes and experiment logs. With the gondian workers no longer needed, they were ordered to dispose of the remaining hostages as well.
