Description
Conehead is a male member of the Special Fire Force Company 5. His name is a direct descriptor of his most distinctive physical feature, as he has an elderly, weathered face with wrinkles and white sideburns, crowned by a head that tapers to a noticeable point at the top. He wears the standard protective bunker jacket of the Fire Force, which covers his entire body and displays the number five on the left sleeve to signify his brigade affiliation.
In terms of personality, Conehead is defined by a strong confidence in his own capabilities, specifically his skills as a scientist and experimenter. He holds a firm belief in the quality and power of the enhancements he creates, a confidence that is visibly shaken when his work fails to perform as expected in combat situations. His primary motivation stems from this scientific drive, as his role within Company 5 is largely centered on research and analysis. He is responsible for conducting experiments on Infernals, the flame-human monsters that the Fire Force fights, in an effort to understand and modify them. His work is instrumental to Company 5's methods, which heavily rely on scientific manipulation and enhancement of these beings. He demonstrates a high level of loyalty to his brigade and its commanding officer.
Within the story, Conehead serves as a supporting member of Company 5. He is often seen operating technical equipment, such as a device used to detect the Adolla Burst, a special power wielded by certain fire soldiers. During the conflict between his brigade and Company 8, his scientific expertise is put on display. After Company 8 infiltrates the 5th's compound, Conehead and another soldier, Setsuo Miyamoto, pursue the intruders. Conehead had previously enhanced Setsuo with experimental modifications, and he confidently deploys this enhanced soldier to attack Arthur Boyle of Company 8. Conehead comments that Setsuo's augmented power is far beyond what Arthur can handle, only to be stunned into disbelief when Arthur defeats his creation.
Conehead's key relationships are primarily professional. He is a subordinate of Princess Hibana, the commander of Company 5, and follows her orders without question, including conducting analyses on giant Infernals that appear in their jurisdiction. He also works directly with Setsuo Miyamoto, acting as the scientist who performs experiments on him to create a more powerful soldier. His relationship with the members of Company 8, particularly Arthur Boyle, is antagonistic, defined by the battle where his experimental subject is defeated. Conehead shows little to no significant personal development over the course of the series, remaining a consistent presence as a supporting scientist and analyst for his brigade. His notable abilities are not combative but scientific, focusing on the analysis of Infernal cores and the application of enhancements to living soldiers, making him a valuable asset for the technologically and scientifically inclined Company 5.
