The senex iratus or heavy father figure is a comic archetype character who belongs to the alazon or impostor group in theater, manifesting himself through his rages and threats, his obsessions and his gullibility.

The stories about his character inspired Rudolf Erich Raspe to adapt the man into a literary character.
