The Burning One

In the distant past, the Burning One was one of the Five Heroes that founded Kindleton, and served as the party's muscle. He wielded a flaming buster sword with special properties. At some point, he underwent fleshsmithing experiments in Cold-Iron Keep and became a particularly powerful Reforged.

During the events of the second expedition into Cold-Iron Keep., he was discovered to be in hibernation, and awoke soon after to escape into the Trinity Forest.

A month later, he was hunted down by a party of adventurers consisting of Incinerator Ernan and Yohani Frozmyn (who had both seen the creature before), as well as Friar Bedlam, a Lumpa, and a disguised Kelyth Imleril. In the ensuing combat, his outer shell was broken, resulting in a more humanoid form emerging. During this second phase, he killed both the Lumpa and Yohani with his sword before being killed by a shot from a mysterious figure who had been lurking nearby.
