Lights up enemies and watches them burn

Infernus has many ways to deal damage over time, burning foes before swooping in for the kill. Due to Infernus' blazing speed, his enemies won't be able to escape the flames.


Infernus is an Ixian with a powerful control of flame that he uses to enhance his speed and ignite his enemies. Combining his Flame Dash with the ability to spew a napalm Catalyst, Infernus can chase down and ignite his foes with a deadly Afterburn. Any targets left standing will be subject to his explosive Concussive Combustion, knocking them out and leaving them vulnerable to further immolation.

As a creature from Ixia, Infernus had a troubled and intense youth while he was raised in the United States. Despite a rash of deadly crime as a teenager, he found himself tending a bar in his adulthood and learning to calm his intense emotions. With quality music and interesting people to talk to, Infernus rarely has a need these days to call up his dangerous supernatural abilities.

Background

Like most teenagers; Infernus was wild, rebellious, and impetuous. Unlike most teenagers, Infernus was a creature from another planet and had a supernatural mastery over fire. Needless to say: his youth was filled with no small amount of arson, murder, and evidence disposal. But that was then. Now an adult, Infernus has mellowed out considerably. He’s happy working at a bar with good live music, and talking to interesting people. That being said when someone at the bar gets belligerent or violent, he’s not afraid to dust off the skills he once honed.

A FATE'S TALE

Lore

As a second generation Ixian immigrant,[1] Infernus was born and raised in New York and has never visited Ixia.[2]

He works at a bar called Jezebel's, with his boss Hank. Jezebel's is under threat of being closed by the Alchemy Bureau for code violations.[3]

Character interactions

  • Infernus' friends, like Abrams, Wraith and Lady Geist, call him Fern.[4][5][3] Abrams calls Infernus "his bartender".[6]
  • When starting a match, the Patron may tell Infernus that Hank is counting on him.[7]
  • Infernus wants to go on a date with Holliday.[8]
  • Infernus plays poker with Wraith.[9]
  • Wraith, Viper and Seven tease Infernus for leaving his criminal life behind and becoming a bartender.[10][11]

That is the plane that characters that we refer to as 'demons' would have historical roots in. That being said though, at this time in the world of Deadlock there are plenty of Ixians that are born on Earth: Infernus and Grey Talon's daughter-in-law (RIP)."
