Burning Passion is a skilled machinist originally hailing from the eastern city-state of Radz-at-Han. A citizen of the Garlemald, Burning was once fiercely loyal to the Empire. However, his faith in the Empire was greatly shaken after the events of the Calamity. While he has great love for Thavnair, Radz-at-Han, and Garlemald, he also acknowledges that the Empire has put too much stock in trying to be the greatest superpower the world has ever known, and for that reason he fights. He wishes to see the Empire focus on peace rather than war, and it is his hope that, through his actions in helping Eorzea resist Garlean rule, the Empire will adopt more diplomatic solutions.

Burning Passion is a skilled synthesist from Radz-at-Han, the Near East. A savant in the art of all forms of synthesis, he is always more than willing to help others who may lack his own personal expertise. Through utilizing power from elemental crystals in his crafting, he has gained a small understanding of how aether flows, which has piqued his fascination in the arts of thaumaturgy.

Burning was born and raised in an imperial-controlled Radz-at-Han and, along with his parents, was an imperial loyalist, believing that the Garlean occupation of Thavnair was necessary and any attempts to fight the rule were foolish. That all changed during the Calamity. Upon hearing of the resulting destruction of the Meteor Project, Burning’s faith in the empire had become shaken. Was the empire truly so determined to conquer a country that they would set out to destroy it? He brought his concerns to his parents. Regrettably, after having lived so long under imperial rule, Burning’s parents still placed their full trust in the empire, and they would butt heads more and more with each passing day.
+
Burning was born and raised in Radz-at-Han in Thavnair. He was born to a lesser noble house of merchants and was taught the arts of the craftsman from the young age of eight. Everything from blacksmithing to weaving and, of course, alchemy. His aptitude with learning these arts allowed him to become a universally skilled craftsman in only a decade of study.
 
 
It was no secret that there were many splintered resistance factions amongst the populace. Burning joined one of the smaller factions, the Philosophi Argentum, an order of philosophers and scientists from Thavnair and of Garlemald alike who share their adoration for the empire, but feel it has become misguided. It was they who taught Burning basic combat, rudimentary magic, and the basics of the art of the machinist.
 
 
 
Five years had passed before it was announced that the alchemist prodigy Jalzahn, an icon amongst the Philosophi Argentum for his work on the Thavnairian Mist, would be making the journey to Eorzea, having heard of the unearthing of the legendary weapons of the Zodiac Braves. Burning, wanting to put his newly found expertise to good use, stowed away onto Jalzahn’s ship in order to see for himself the wrath of the Calamity.
 
 
 
Arriving in Vesper Bay, Burning used the last of his savings to hitch a ride to Ul’dah. As he arrived, he saw the countless refugees forced to live as second-class citizens amongst the Ul’dahn elite. It was not unbelievable that Eorzean culture would be like this from the imperial propaganda he had been exposed to at a young age, and he knew he had to be more than some mere refugee. In order to help Eorzea heal and, by proxy, help the empire see reason, He would have to find work, and find work he did.
 
  
Having pre-existing experience with craftsmanship, he set his sights on the goldsmith’s guild in hopes of earning enough money to find the legendary Garlean defector Cid Garlond and continue his studies in the art of the machinist. It took a few months, but his ability to grasp concepts quickly enabled him to become adept at the art of goldsmithing.
+
In his later years of study, at the age of seventeen, he was introduced to the world of thaumaturgy from an Ul'dahn thaumaturge visiting Radz-at-Han to learn Thavnairian Alchemy. Burning's Alchemy tutor directed the mysterious young lalafell to Burning himself, so that they may exchange information. Burning taught the lalafell the basics of alchemy and the lalafell taught Burning some rudimentary lessons in thaumaturgy.
  
During his time in Ul’dah, he developed an odd fondness for it, despite its faults. It was much like his own home, if he were being honest. He had heard the Immortal Flames were hiring adventurers and sellswords to help them with freelance work, and happily signed himself up for the extra work. By day, he would hone his skills and earn money from the Flames, by night he would focus on the intricate details of a piece of jewelry.
+
Fascinated by the basic study, he requested leave from his parents to depart for Ul'dah for a "trade expedition", though in truth he wished to study more about thaumaturgy from the Ossuary there. His parents, of course, granted this leave, unknowing of Burning's true intentions.
  
Months had passed, but Burning successfully managed to acquire a fair bit of money. One day while working on a tiara for some powerful monetarist’s spoiled daughter, he came across some interesting reading: The grand opening of Garlond Ironworks in Mor Dhona. The next day, he used what money he had saved up to travel to Revenant’s Toll. It was… discomforting being so close to a Garlean Castrum, but he did not waver. He entered Garlond Ironworks and requested employment. After showing some of the engineers the skill he possessed with machinery, he was hired. Since then, he has been honing his craft in the art of machinery, but he has not forgotten the intricate detail work he learned while working as a goldsmith.

Burning then studied at the Ossuary for many years while simultaneously taking on commission jobs with the Ul'dahn craftsman guilds, oftentimes coming into contact with other practitioners of magic, such as Conjurers and Arcanists alike, some of whom obliged his thirst for knowledge of conjury and the arcane geometry with rudimentary lessons.
