Arsonist

The Arsonist is a criminal from Trident City who uses a specialized fireproof suit and flamethrower to commit crime in the city. He is, therefore, a frequent enemy of the Blue Hawk.

## Biography

Michael Dunbar, working with two others, was contracted by Robert Goodwin to burn down a building.

## Personality

Dunbar is obsessive, unstable, a pyromaniac, hot-headed and sometimes loses focus. He is highly impulsive, combative. He is certainly a man of action who prefers getting things done as opposed to analyzing them. He is also a self-admitted thief/assassin, who does not care about any rules, unless they are needed for his survival.

Dunbar is incredibly philosophical in his view of the nature of fire itself. He had poetically described it as being ever-changing, indefinable, and trans-formative. He views his burns as revealing the truth of who he really is, and as such, he has embraced this self-determined truth of who he is: A man who burns the world to reveal its own inner nature as it did to him. This is an unusual trait, but does show that he is much more than the image of the unstable pyromaniac that he projects himself as.
