## History

Before Gizzy's Arrival

In the Nether, an evil demon mysteriously known as the Demon becomes the father of Inferno. For unknown reasons, Inferno never learns about his father and the Demon is imprisoned by the people of the Overworld. Inferno goes on to becoming the Nether Champion, residing at the Fire Kingdom and having mastered the element of fire. Years later, Inferno accidentally releases the Demon onto the Overworld where it plans to wreak havoc as revenge against the citizens for locking him up long ago. However, the Demon fails his plan and the Champion of the Nether, realizing the Overworld is still intact, assumes the Demon's death. ("Fight Your Demons", "Demon Slayer")

Knowing of his skills with fire, Witch, the Earth Guardian, visits Inferno to ask if he could become the next Fire Guardian after the previous one wasn't able to control the element. During the conversation, his servant Rascal interrupts them saying it's important with him, but is ignored due to the current discussion. Inferno agrees, but only if his kingdom stays in the Nether. Witch agrees to these terms and gives him the fire element to protect. Rascal keeps insisting and tells Inferno that he found a crown. The champion notices it being the King's Crown that must've fallen through the dimensions when the Demon broke free. He keeps the relic thinking it might be of great use later. ("Origin")

During Gizzy's Arrival

At some point, Inferno comes across a creature named Yoshi. He makes the strange animal his Right-Hand Man by performing the signature agreement. With the ritual made, the Fire Guardian and brings Yoshi to the kingdom. ("Lucky Block Cavern", "Ratchet and the Ritual")

Volume Two

At the Fire Kingdom, Letvia reports back to Inferno and says she failed in making Gizzy her right hand man. He asks if he's going to the prophecy, but Letvia couldn't decipher if Gizzy was telling the truth. Inferno decides to summon his right hand man, Yoshi, to make Gizzy tell him his true intentions. ("Sanctuary")

Inferno complains about Voice's poor judgment on the king. Even if there's another threat that could bring down the guardians, the fire guardian doesn't worry too much, since he has the King's Crown in his possession. ("Jungle of Hope")

Yoshi returns from his trip to find Gizzy's motives and comes back successful. He tells him that Gizzy really is going to the prophecy. Inferno, knowing that he must do things himself, summons Rascal, his trained assassin, to murder Gizzy. Inferno is later seen staring at the King's crown, as Yoshi stares at him from a far. ("The King of Altered")

Inferno summons Yoshi to think of people who can make a great earth guardian. Yoshi mentions that he saw Inferno with a crown and asks what it is. Inferno doesn't want to talk about the crown, but the servant insists that he saw it. Annoyed, Inferno tells Yoshi to leave. Later, Inferno sees Yoshi staring at the crown. Knowing that Yoshi has already seen too much, Inferno decides that it's time to destroy the crown and commands Yoshi to throw in the lava. ("Ratchet and the Ritual")

Inferno gives another order to Yoshi. Assuming that Gizzy is still alive since the assassin hasn't come back yet, Inferno commands Yoshi to kill Gizzy himself. Yoshi is shocked and disturbed by the idea, but has to do it, or else he dies. ("Take Back Your Life")

Inferno notices that the crown reacted strangely to the lava. Suddenly, Inferno is visited by Tayren, the leader of a rebellion that plans on defeating the guardians. He comes to the fire guardian to make a deal with him. The deal involves a 1v1 between himself and Inferno. If Tayren was to win, then Inferno is unable to help the guardians when the Rebellion attacks them. If Inferno was to win, then he can kill everyone who is part of the Rebellion and destroy Higher Rank. They both agree on the terms by completing the signature ritual. ("Divine")

Volume Three

After learning that the Demon is his father, Inferno contemplates in the Nether whether he should free him or keep him trapped in the Prophecy. Needing answers, Inferno decides to go to Witch for his aid. ("Haunted House")

At the Fire Kingdom, Inferno receives a distress call from Letvia through his Guardian Communicator. The message explains that she's under attack from pirates and needs aid. Knowing it's the Rebellion, the Fire Guardian doesn't do anything to help since he lost the battle with Tayren, and if he did try to help, he would die due to the signature agreement. Inferno continues listening to the call, over and over, but eventually leaves the area, unable to assist his friend. ("The Green Bloods")

Back at the Nether, Inferno continues listening to Letvia's recorded distress call, but does nothing to help her, knowing of the fatal consequences his aid will bring to him. ("Guardians vs Rebellions")
