## Who they are

Fire is one of the elemental companions Light summons, and he treats the whole expedition as an insult to his dignity. His temper is his defining trait: he rages, threatens, and refuses to be humble, even when the children need calm. He matters because his volatility tests the group's patience and shows that some forces of the world can be traveled with but never tamed.
