Description
Ogun Montgomery is a Third Generation pyrokinetic and a Second Class Fire Soldier who serves as part of Special Fire Force Company 4. He is a seventeen-year-old young man of African descent, standing 175 centimeters tall, with dark skin, black hair shaved at the sides and worn in dreadlocks on top, and orange eyes with light swirls in the irises. He is known for his balanced, high-level combat ability and was recognized early in his career as the standout rookie of his company.
During his time at the Special Fire Force Training Academy, Ogun graduated at the top of his class, and his skill was known to fire soldiers across the other companies. He was drawn to the Fire Force by the story of his ancestor, a figure remembered as the Immigrant Hero, who helped lead people to the Tokyo Empire during a chaotic period. Although he was considered for recruitment into Company 8, he ultimately joined Company 4, where he carries out his duties as a second class officer.
Ogun is friendly, approachable, and deeply concerned with the safety of those around him, holding the belief that people can be happy as long as they survive. He has a calm and sensible temperament and dislikes pointless fighting, often acting as a mediator. During his academy days, his classmates Shinra Kusakabe and Arthur Boyle frequently argued over which of them was stronger, and Ogun was the one who repeatedly stepped in to break up their disputes. Despite his composed nature, he can also join his friends in foolish behavior, such as when he and his squad tasted soil from the Chinese Peninsula during a mission and reacted dramatically after being affected by poison gas. Among his peers, he serves as a dependable older-brother-like figure.
Ogun's strong sense of justice and desire to protect innocent lives motivate him as a fire soldier. He sees the protection of his teammates and civilians from Infernals as his responsibility, and he constantly works to improve his abilities through rigorous training.
In the story, Ogun appears as a supporting character who joins Shinra and Arthur on major operations. During the mission on the Chinese Peninsula, he played a key role by holding off a powerful Infernal, buying time for Shinra to establish a psychic link with the entity known as the Black Woman. His performance in that battle highlighted his combat strength and his willingness to push himself to his limits.
His relationship with Shinra and Arthur is one of friendship and healthy rivalry. The three trained together at the academy, consider each other rivals, and support one another, and they were able to build a strong partnership when fighting together. Ogun survived through the final conflict with the Evangelist's forces, and in the aftermath of the story's conclusion, he was shown in a lighthearted moment complaining about his fellow soldiers pairing off into couples.
Ogun's abilities are rooted in his Third Generation pyrokinetic power, which allows him to create and control his own flames. His techniques are named with Yoruba terms, reflecting his heritage, and his flames often take the shape of forged blades, recalling the blacksmith imagery associated with the name Ogun. His signature ability is Flamy Ink, which covers his body in flame tattoos and temporarily increases his physical strength while releasing enormous amounts of firepower, at times comparable to that of Captain Burns of Company 1. However, Flamy Ink causes his body to overheat rapidly, so the state cannot be sustained for long, and a prolonged battle can leave him unable to move once he reaches his ignition limit. He can also shape fire into spears and blades to throw at enemies, and he attaches rocket-like flames to his hoverboard to greatly increase his mobility in combat.
