Leonard Burns

Battalion Commander of the Special Fire Force Company 1. Age 50. Height 186 cm. Birthday is August 10th. A third-generation pyrokinetic who can ignite flames inside his body like a blast furnace, explosively enhancing his physical abilities using thermal energy. When using his abilities, his right eye lights up with fire. As he fights for extended periods, his "Stage" increases, enhancing the output of his flames, and at "Stage 5," he takes on the appearance of a lion-like beastman enveloped in flames.

He was once active as a link between the public and secret sides of the Holy Sol Temple and was acquainted with Joker during the dark times. During a massive outbreak of Infernals at Amaterasu, he experienced an Adolla Link with Joker. During this event, he lost his sight in his right eye, hence he wears an eyepatch. He was also the firefighter who responded to the fire that killed Shinra's mother and brother 12 years ago.

His worldview changed drastically after seeing an alternate dimension called Adolla when he lost his sight in his right eye. He has been secretly investigating the Holy Sol Temple using his position as the commander of Company 1 to uncover the truth of the world. When Shinra approached him at the rookie firefighters' tournament, he replied that he remembered nothing about the fire 12 years ago, but Shinra suspected he was hiding something. Later, during a sparring session with Shinra, he revealed that the horned Infernal Shinra saw at the fire scene was their mother, who had turned into an Infernal while trying to protect Sho from the Evangelist's followers.

The Evangelist made him an enemy of the Special Fire Force Company 8. Although he was defeated in battle by Shinra, he acknowledged Shinra's growth. However, he was fatally stabbed in the back by a doppelganger but entrusted his future to Shinra and departed for the world of Adolla. Later, he appeared as a doppelganger and fought against Joker.
