Pyre

346

Tobias "Pyre" Garrett is a member of the Hellblazers mercenaries and a thrill-seeking ex-convict. A wildcard of the mercenary group, Pyre has a fascination for flame that borders on unhealthy obsession. Having served time for arson and possession of dangerous weapons, Pyre is one of the more dangerous members of the group, he's intimidating and at times unpredictable. As shaded as his past may be, or how destructive his pyromaniac tendencies, there's no denying Pyre's skill for sabotage, demolition and disrupting critical infrastructure, unconventional problem-solving and insight, and intimidation tactics. While Pyre loves fire, there's nothing warm about his personality; he's thorny, indifferent, and dismissive. He's also level-headed and in control of his emotions; he can handle high-intense situations without breaking a sweat, so he often goes on high-risk extraction jobs. Pyre carries a flip lighter with him, and absent-mindedly flick it open and closed in quieter moments.

Barrelroll

Ronald Primrose, a charismatic former Air Force ace, is a self-proclaimed Star Fox superfan. His enthusiasm often gets the better of him, prompting him to yell “do a barrel roll” during intense dogfights, earning the nickname. While his antics may raise eyebrows, Ron's exceptional piloting skills are undeniable. After an honorable discharge, Ron found himself missing the rush of adrenaline that came with flying. That's when Nomad, a skilled operative for the mercenary group Hellblazers, approached him with an offer. Ron was initially hesitant, uneasy about the moral implications of mercenary work. He turned down the offer. However, Nomad saw something in Ron that made him think twice. He dispatched Geneva, another Hellblazers' member, to persuade Ron to reconsider. Geneva's charm and wit won Ron over, but it was her striking appearance and captivating personality that truly sealed the deal. Ron was smitten. He signed on, becoming an integral part of the Hellblazers team. *scene* Led by the enigmatic and cunning Mistress Commander, Argus has infiltrated SPECTRON's headquarters, the Olympus Space Station, compromising its internal security and paving the way for a catastrophic coup.
