Inferno Demons

**Inferno Demons** (or known as **Fire Spirits** by the citizens of Ninjago) are a race of demon that protect the known multiverse from cosmic threats and beings. They have a prominent role in the events of the Beyond Franchise and reside with other creatures in the Realm of Shadows. They usually appear in demon form when being casual or as a lion when in battle. Inferno Demons are known to have bonds like no other with humans, making contracts with them to help them become elemental masters or sages of Fire.

The Inferno Demons are one of the top ranking members of Kyojū, the Multiverse Protection Organization (MPO). Their leader Kaen has been considered many times as leader, but is too honorable for such a title. He resides on Earth-21 as part of the Walker/Garmadon/Arnold Families’ “pets”. The demons may be heroes but they do have a deep hate for other demons such as the Oni. And they hate other cosmic beings such as Samara Garmadon, whom he and many other members of Kyojū fought.

## History

### Early Years

Long ago when the universe was created, the Realm of Shadows was a place of evil, only few souls or beings there had a kind heart. One of those species were the distant relatives of the Oni; the Inferno Demon Clan. They were good demons and used their supernatural abilities for the purpose of the light side. They were lead by the first Inferno Demon, Kaen, who was an outstanding leader and would never let anyone act as a shield for him. They acted as a police force for the Realm of Shadows keeping everyone in check. There was stability.

### The War of the Realms

Soon the First Realm found itself at war, and that affected other realms in return. The Oni were defeated by the Dragons. Soon, the Realm of Shadows was a hotspot for the Oni to plot their revenge after the war ended. The Inferno Demons found themselves trapped with their distant, evil relatives and they were going mad. To make matters worse Kaen was lured to the First Realm by the Skullcrusher and imprisoned. Pyre was put in command until Kaen’s return, but then the Oni discovered their relatives and revolted. It was a war of the demons. Some of the demons escaped to claim vessels in Ninjago and other realities.

### A New Hope & The Help

Meanwhile Kaen was sealed inside of the spirit of a young girl by the Skullcrusher, who turned out to be another pawn for Samara Garmadon. But the two were freed by the girl’s older brother, Jason C. Walker. In the beginning Kaen was cautious of communicating to Natalie due to her body not being able to handle the Force (thus spasms), at first. After a while, she got stronger and was able to hone her experience and skills to find resolve with him. He would lend her chakra when she ran out of her own and she would give him knowledge of the realm they lived in that he didn’t already know. Soon Natalie and Kaen formed a bond never before seen between beast and human. A bond of friendship, it took a long period of time but it paid off and made Natalie the one and only Inferno Demon Sage. With the help of her comrades, she assisted Kaen in the epic attempt to free the other Inferno Demons. After the demons were given a choice at freedom, they took it and traveled to the First Realm and claimed the old Oni City and made it their own. A few years later, the Inferno Demons and Dragons followed Kate, now the Dragon Mistress, to Ninjago to help take down Scar and his Oni Humanoids. After the battle, Natalie and her friends met up with them and thanked them for their help. Chad chose to return to the First Realm with them to settle down with Genevieve and have a son. There were many years of peace after that. And Kaen remained back in Ninjago to have his spirit passed on into Natalie's kids, alongside Chikyū.
