This young tiefling man is tall and thin, with horns that point up and back rather than curling around his ears. His skin is brick red and his eyes glossy black. His blue-black hair is cut short and he tends to wear it spiked. His long tail is typically hidden beneath the loose robes that he favors, which are usually dark red with flame patterns and frightening images. A rune-etched quarterstaff is always near at hand. Additionally, he carries a curved dagger, though he almost never removes it from its sheath. Otherwise, he travels lightly, carrying a single pack which holds his spellbook, journal, and an assortment of other gear.

Born in Arabel to a human mother and a tiefling father, this young man bears the physical characteristics of an infernal curse. Though his parents were loving and did what they could to protect him from the taunting of the human children who were his peers, he resented being treated differently, and he developed quite a chip on his shoulder as a result.

In his youth, his temper ran hot, and when he was not angry, his disdain for those he found to be irrelevant among his peers made him seem cold. Still, he had a natural charisma and intelligence that drew a number of people to want to be around him despite his outbursts. Those who managed to befriend him found him to be quite engaging, although they were still somewhat put off by his treatment of strangers. He would talk down to them and tell them outright lies, as though they were not deserving of even the simplest courtesy. Not wanting to get on his bad side, most of his friends would simply let it pass.

When his father died, Bernard’s mother Romelda came into some money, which allowed her to afford to get the boy enrolled in a minor school of wizardry, a vocation for which he seemed well-suited. He performed quite well, his infernal heritage lending him a natural edge with flame evocations. As such, he was selected to apprentice with an eladrin evoker, who taught the young man to harness his anger and use it constructively in the casting of his spells.

His chosen moniker is likely due to his penchant for fire magic, and because it amuses him, he will answer to nothing else. Even his closest companions have not learned his given name. He never quite got over his disdain for others, and though he is not a sadist, he certainly isn’t possessed of an overabundance of mercy. Burn has nothing but contempt for the ruling family of Cormyr. Still, he is skilled in diplomacy (even if he doesn’t always employ it) and smart enough to keep his political leanings to himself.

He is an elitist who thinks of himself as a scholar rather than an adventurer. He he has a particular fondness for history and the effect religion has had in shaping it in Faerun. He is interested in learning many things that others would prefer be kept secret. As such, he’s a little paranoid about people learning too much about his past. He keeps a journal, although he tends to use the secret page ritual after each entry, so that his thoughts do not easily fall into the “wrong hands.”
