―Infearno to James
**Infearno** is a villain in *Shattered*. Obsessed with fire and pyrokinetics, Infearno will stop at nothing to set ablaze his antagonists. He reappears in the *Shattered 2* DLC Up In Flames.

## History

### Early years

As revealed through Infearno himself, he grew up poor on the streets of Interface City, where the Ululators ruled the streets. They caused chaos and terrorized the citizens, and people were poor and resorted to drugs. Drugs were a big thing back then, and he didn't want to start, but was pressured into it.

### Becoming Infearno

The drugs made him hallucinate and do things he didn't want to. The Ululators also killed the only people he loved, so he swore revenge on them. He gained some money by robbing banks and turning to a life of crime, and eventually got his hands on some equipment, and went into hiding and built pyrotechnic (fire-related) inventions.

### Encounter with James

Infearno encountered James Derettas in Ashkon Industrial Park, in a partially destroyed factory. He and James fought in that factory but James defeated him, and Infearno revealed his past to James. He also found out that James was after Travis Ululator, the man Infearno has been after for decades, and forgave him.

### Assassination attempt

Infearno found out that Travis was staying at the Syx Hotel. Infearno perched up on a rooftop about five blocks from the hotel, to get a good vantage point. Infearno sniped Travis from his hotel room in an attempt to assassinate him, for all of the bad things he's indirectly done to Infearno, but Infearno missed his head and hit his arm.

Travis was bleeding, and requested a mandatory evacuation to his base of operations, the Waterfront Casino. James tracked the blood trail from the hotel room, where he found that Elsa Welchers was murdered by Travis for unknown reasons, before being sniped himself. James followed the blood trail back to the Casino, and after a wild battle, defeated and kills Travis there. At that point, the Ululators were no more, indirectly thanks to Infearno.

### Events of *Shattered 2*

Infearno appears in the second DLC story pack for *Shattered 2*, called Up In Flames. During the events of the DLC, Infearno travels to Atlantic City and sets various houses on fire. When Chris McGlone enters one of the burning houses to save civilians trapped inside, he encounters Infearno for the first time. When he later tells James what happened, James realizes that Infearno is back. Infearno later sets a Starlings' restaurant on fire and initiates a wild chase through the city, where Chris follows him to the roof of a casino in the Northeast End, and Infearno sets it on fire.

When James arrives to the scene, he finds that G Gang thugs are after him, implying that Infearno paid them off to attack James and Chris. After the fire is put out, and the thugs are defeated, Infearno kidnaps Lori Conti from her house, and blows it up. He takes her to Hattrick Island, trapping her in a small log cabin. Chris and James track Infearno down to the island, and Chris defeats Infearno in a Boss Battle. James then interrogates him and Infearno reveals that he relocated to Atlantic City since that's where all the attention was, since Chris and James, the two men with powers, were there. Additionally, he kidnapped Lori to lure Chris, as he spied on Chris previously, and saw him with Lori. The cops arrive to the island and take Infearno into custody, and Chris saves Lori.

## Appearance

Infearno is a middle-aged caucasian man in his late 20s–early 30s during the time of *Shattered*. He wears a black T-shirt with orange sleeve ends and a red scarf, which has orange tips, resembling fire. Infearno has burn marks all over his skin, which is visible on his arms, legs, and face. He has spiky light-brown hair and wears black goggles with yellow lenses. He also wears gray high socks and black and orange sneakers, further showing his fire-colored persona.

Infearno spent years building his own high-tech pyrokinetic equipment, which include flamethrowers mounted on his body, and a glider which allows him to fly around, similar to the Green Goblin from Spider-Man. His left arm is nothing but fire, and his sneakers emit fire, although the reasons why are unknown.

## Personality

Infearno is a mad man who has been driven insane due to the deaths of the people he loved by the Ululators. It is unknown who the people he loved were, they could have been his parents, friends, or others. Infearno has very little patience towards people, and even mentioning Travis or anything about the Ululators will drive him into a ruthless mode, like James mentioned the Ululators, unbeknownst that Infearno will become enraged. In *Shattered 2*, when asked about the reasoning behind his wild fire spree, he simply says that he loves fire and flames, indicating that his mental state has severely deteriorated since his original encounter with James.
