Firebrand (Gargoyle's Quest II)

==Summary==
Firebrand is a rookie Red Arremer who completes his training at the right time, dodging the destruction of his citadel at the hands of the monstrous Harbreager by sheer chance. Afterwards, forced to attempt and prevent the destruction of the Demon Realm, Firebrand ends up becoming the Red Blaze, a demon of prophecy who is the only one with the power to stop Harbreager.
After doing so, Firebrand releases all his power to cleanse the Demon Realm of invading forces and Harbreager's Black Light, with his title being passed down in history as a hero of legend and eventually inherited by his descendant of the same name.
