**Apollo Adelantar**, known as Tisoy in Tatsulok and has a birthname of **Aries dela Torre**, is the main protagonist of the 2022 TV series The Iron Heart. He is the elite agent of the CIB (Criminal Investigation Bureau), a fictional branch of the National Bureau of Investigation and one of the moles to the inside the organization known as the Triangle (Tatsulok). After the death of his adopted father at the hands of a Tatsulok member, he took on the mission to takedown the criminal empire established and lead by Priam dela Torre, also known as the Engineer, to avenge his loved ones (Homer and Cassandra) along with the numerous innocent people whose lives were ruined or killed by Tatsulok's schemes.

Soon after his induction in the organization, Apollo believed he had killed Priam by installing a bomb on his helicopter, however, it was soon revealed that the casualty was Jason, the leader's son. This directly lead to the death of his lover, Cassandra, as she was killed when Priam attacked CIB to retrieve his son's remains. Before the inevitable reveal of his identity as the mole, Apollo managed to take down multiple unit heads of the organization such as Damon, Athena, Echo, and Hero. However during the events of Charity Gala arc, he was exposed by his former Tatsulok member, Janus, who was previously thought dead but ended up kidnapping his aunt (Delia) and his adoptive sister (Lia). With his identity out in the open, Apollo publicly attempts to destroy Priam and the rest of Tatsulok.

Later on, during the events of Virus Arc, Apollo was finally revealed to be the firstborn son of Priam. It was shown that Apollo was born with a rare disease with no known cure despite Priam being the legal owner of the largest pharmaceutical company in the Philippines, PDT Pharmaceuticals. Out of desperation, Priam sought a brilliant scientist named Diana Alejandro (sister of Helen Gomez, Apollo's boss in CIB) to formulate a cure that will save his son's life. However, the medicine Diana created can not only help the young Apollo, but also cures all kinds of autoimmune disease and grants the recipient unnatural strength and immunity. To test the medicine's efficacy, Priam kidnapped six babies and resorted to human experimentation to improve his son's chances of survival. Disagreeing with the brutality of Priam's methods, Diana took Apollo and the other babies and attempted to rescue them out of Palermo island, however only Apollo managed to survive. Responsibility then fell to Terro, and eventually, Homer. Apollo angrily rejected this truth and refused to accept Priam as his father, however, he soon shared the truth with the Tatsulok head. While Priam, who long grieved his long lost son, saw the reveal as an opportunity to be a father again and is willing to forgive Apollo for killing his own brother; Apollo took advantage of this blood relationship to defeat Priam by obtaining the vaccine to stop the spread of the Hyperion virus.

At the beginning of the second season of the series, he is currently pursuing the new criminal organization: the Altare, the ones who is responsible for killing his friend Juno and its affiliate the Yusebia for convincing his uncle to join and killing many innocents (including Lia after abducted by Brother Joseph who will be used as a Colateral in the latter), in doing so by rejoining the Tatsulok to destroy both sides after being accused of killing Hera Cruz as he was framed despite Kules is the one who killed her. In the intense battle between Altare and Tatsulok, Apollo will discovers that Eros is the Commando which he will become his sworn enemy, at the final Fifteen episodes of the series, he was betrayed by Selene and Orcus for raiding the Atlantis rather than following his plan only to piss the Altare leadership. But in the final 6 episodes, it was later revealed that Apollo rejoined the CIB and pretend to become the leader of the new Altare serving as an undercover at it was revealed that he rejoined the group in order to take-down both Altare and Tatsulok.
