Who is Blair?
Originally serving as the cook for HQ, Blair knows his way around fire, which likely aids his preferred damage type.
After being ambushed by a bipedal Colossus brandishing fire while camping, Blair ran to the nearby storehouse to save his ingredients, getting trapped inside in the process. He swiftly fell unconscious as the ingredients in his arms began to burn.
Upon regaining consciousness, Blair noticed fierce flames rising from his hands, prompting him to train harder than anyone else to become a Descendant.
Despite now being a Descendant, he still loves to cook and is always making up snacks for his fellow teammates.
