The 'Merchant of Death' concept probably means that Tony is involved in activities related to death in a commercial way. For example, he might be selling things that can cause death, such as weapons or poisons.
I'm not sure who Tony specifically is in this fanfiction without reading it. It could be an original character created by the author, or perhaps a reimagined version of a known character in a particular fictional universe.
Another theme is self - discovery. Tony realizes that his identity as a weapons - maker isn't all he wants to be. He starts to explore other aspects of himself, like his ability to be a true hero and protector. In some fanfictions, he discovers new values and beliefs that change his perspective on life. For example, he might start to value human life more than profits from weapons sales. This self - discovery often goes hand in hand with his journey of redemption.
One possible story could be about Tony's moral struggle within the 'Merchant of Death' scenario. Maybe he tries to find a way to redeem himself from his dark deeds. For example, he might start using his skills to protect the innocent instead of causing harm.
One popular 'Tony is the Merchant of Death' fanfiction is 'The Iron Path'. It delves deep into Tony's complex character and his journey after being labeled as such. It shows how he grapples with his reputation and tries to make amends in a very engaging way.
Well, obviously Tony is the central character. But there could also be other characters like his business partners who might be involved in his 'Merchant of Death' activities, either helping or hindering him. There could also be some love interests for Tony, which could add a romantic sub - plot to the fanfiction.
Obviously, Harry and Tony Merchant are the main characters. Harry could be a heroic type, with special abilities or skills. Tony Merchant might be a more complex character, perhaps a bit of a rogue but with a good heart.
Perhaps it's a story set in a post - apocalyptic world. Harry and Tony Merchant were trying to survive. They got into a conflict with a brutal gang. During the fight, Merchant got fatally injured. Harry then had to carry on with Merchant's unfinished business and seek revenge.
There could be. Fanfiction often takes well - known characters and twists their personalities or storylines. So, a 'Tony is Deaths Merchant' fanfiction might exist where Tony is portrayed in a very different light than in the original source material. Maybe he's a part of some underground death - related business in this fanfic, like trading in illegal arms that lead to countless deaths.
The main antagonist could be Master. Since the title mentions Master, it's likely that this character has a lot of power and influence in the merchant world. They might be using their position to cause harm or manipulate things in a way that leads to death, which would make them a natural antagonist for Harry and Tony to oppose.
