I found the adjective "diehard," one word rather than two, as empedernido. Does that help?

Quote:
un fumador empedernido ---> an inveterate smoker un solterón empedernido ---> a confirmed bachelor un criminal empedernido ---> a hardened criminal Though die-hard could be sometimes rendered as empedernido, this term relates with rigidly repeating a behaviour, particularly one that is vicious. That's why we prefer other adjectives with positive uses of die-hard: a die-hard romantic ---> un romántico incurable a die-hard prankster --> un bromista incorregible
