History

 

"Lord Pyre had ruled a small South American country for centuries, though he always desired more. The public long debated the source of Lord Pyre's longevity, but even Pyre himself has claimed to have forgotten why he's stayed young for so long. In the past, Lord Pyre's machinations have been stopped only through the timely intervention of adventurers, daredevils, and super-powered heroes."

 

"In one memorable encounter between the world's premiere hero team [Freedom Phalanx] and the venerable master of the inferno, Lord Pyre managed to capture Wavelength and hold her hostage for a short time. During this period, Wavelength's idealism and relentlessness slowly won over Lord Pyre's grudging respect - and later his love. Lord Pyre soon gave up all plans of world domination and instead turned his vast intellect towards bettering the conditions of his own people. Eventually Lord Pyre and Wavelength married - and both were overjoyed when they gave birth to their son, dubbed Prince Flashfire."  

 

It's likely that Lord Pyre used his awesome powers to defend his home country from the Rikti invaders. Whether he survived the conflict is unknown.

 

Lord Pyre is first mentioned in the Blaster Archetype walk-through for his son, Flashfire.
