Though he seems to harbor some grudge towards the Nameless One for the pain he inflicted, Ignus still views the immortal as his master in some way. Stuck in a semi-coma and reveling in the never-ending flames coursing over his body, he was eventually made into a mascot for the Smoldering Corpse Bar.ĭialogues with Ignus reveal that his original mentor of the magical arts was one of The Nameless One's previous incarnations, allegedly 'one of the last great sorcerers.' This incarnation was a brutal teacher who believed that suffering is a necessity for learning, and subjected the young Ignus to many torments in order to teach him to master fire. Such treatment would have instantly incinerated a normal mortal, but Ignus survived and thrived in his fiery condition. Furious at his mad killing spree, they converted him into a living conduit to the Elemental Plane of Fire as an ironic punishment. As related by Reekwind and others, Ignus once attempted to burn down the Hive, and was only stopped by a collaboration of many local magic users, from minor hedge wizards to mighty sorcerers.
