Is there a word or an insult for a person who is stubborn?
Usage:
Tiresias is after all the only one that can force Creon, a king and a ____ to see reason
Jade was called a _____ because she continued arguing for three days after she realized her opinion was scientifically wrong.
Connotations:
- Negative or neutral preferable but not necessary.
Would also prefer a formal word but as long as it's not profanity it should be ok.
I am looking specifically for a noun used to refer to a stubborn person. For example one of the words used to refer to someone who is not bright would be idiot.

Intransigent perhaps.
