Arthur Boyle

Arthur Boyle serves as a Fire Soldier in Special Fire Brigade 8, having constructed an elaborate fantasy of being a legendary Knight King to cope with the trauma of childhood abandonment. As a Third Generation, he possesses the rare ability to convert flames into plasma, channeling it through his bladeless sword Excalibur. Remarkably, his combat prowess scales directly with the depth of his delusions — the more he believes in his knightly persona, the more formidable he becomes. His rivalry with protagonist Shinra Kusakabe dates back to their days at the Fire Officer Academy.
