Black Company Centrum (2100 MB—)
Ignotus
Ignotus, known as Blaze, is an infernal sorcerer and former member of the Swarsbard Three whose pyrokinesis manifests through flamespeaking. A strategist more than a hero, he built the Black Company into a mercenary aid organization with darker business beneath the surface. Through his partnership with Maskara Azur, Ignotus distributes enchanted masks to criminals, then profits again by retrieving them. Now tied to the reformed Centrum, he treats fire as symbol, weapon, contract, and warning.
Former adventurer and part of the Swarsbard Three. Founded the Black Company. In Act 5 Vithyrex’s Maze, Timonos Truthstriker’s Journal was found marked “To TT from Ignotus,” tying Ignotus to Timonos Truthstriker’s presence in the maze. The journal clarified that Ignotus effectively exiled Timonos into the labyrinth rather than sending him on a mission, and that Timonos’s beloved axe was broken into pieces somewhere in the maze.
