Description
Ignis Ex captains the firefighting and rescue team Burning Rescue. His leadership is defined by decisive coordination in the field and prioritizing team safety. He possesses a tall, muscular build, short blonde hair, a mustache, and blue eyes typically hidden behind sunglasses. Tribal tattoos mark his biceps and shoulders, usually covered by his standard attire: a firefighter jacket over a sleeveless white top, torn blue jeans, a belt with pouches, and a gold chain accessory.

Governor Kray Foresight personally recommends Galo Thymos as a recruit to Ignis and deputy Remi. Despite Galo's insufficient training and initial unseriousness, Ignis accepts him on Kray's insistence. Ignis halts disruption when Galo breaks a ceremonial *matoi* banner during introduction. On the team's first emergency with Galo, Ignis initially orders him to stay at the station due to inexperience. After Galo argues the mission offers practical experience, Ignis assigns Lucia to supervise him in the rescue vehicle. When Lucia identifies a trapped civilian (Thyma) and Galo proposes an unorthodox rescue plan, Ignis approves it after calculating a high survival probability. The mission's success earns Galo the same respect as other team members.

Ignis maintains a critical yet trusting approach towards Galo, permitting his participation in high-risk rescues despite impulsiveness, resembling a stern but caring mentorship. He consistently defends his team from external threats, confronting Vulcan Haestus of Freeze Force when Galo faces arrest during a Burnish incident. Ignis cites Burning Rescue's jurisdictional authority during fire emergencies to challenge Vulcan. Their antagonistic history involves repeated clashes, with Vulcan disparaging Burning Rescue as "low-level" and Ignis condemning Freeze Force's ethically questionable tactics.

During the climax involving Governor Kray's betrayal, Ignis discovers Galo's arrest and informs the team, prompting their involvement in his escape. He prevents Aina from extinguishing flames enveloping Galo after recognizing their non-harmful nature. Ignis directly confronts Vulcan in physical combat during Burning Rescue's final battle against Freeze Force. Following the conflict, he participates in reconstruction efforts with his team.
