Krystof Hejek, call sign "Firebreak", has been known in the Specialist as the fire guy. He is all about area denial, exterminations and anything that can be done with fire. At times he is called a madman, a pyromaniac if you will. The thing is only a few have seen his face, the rest is all covered up with a gas mask that obscured his entire face. Under all that fire retardant, radiation, and bullet protected clothing and armor, lies a man who have the darkest backstory anyone could ask for; the fate and trauma that twist the man into the killer he is now. The last time anyone has seen, or even heard, from him is that he went off the radar after his mission in Singapore.

Firebreak woke up in a grassy field, thinking it was heaven. He gets up and sees that he is still in his suit along with his weapons: M4 Assault rifle, Beretta 92 pistol, his axe and his favorite, his Purifier. He gets up and wanders a bit. Then he spots someone in armor about to go into a cave. He approached the figure carefully, but the armored figure turned and spotted him.

The figure is wearing some old fashioned armor, with the stench of corpses; he doesn't mind, he actually enjoy it. The figure ask the Operator in a low tune, not to make any threats: "Who are you? What are you doing here?" The figure sounded female along with her look. Firebreak said to the figure, "My name's Firebreak, who are you and what are you doing here is what I'm asking." She answered his questions with a interested tone, "Slaying goblins, if you want to come then follow me", Firebreak replied, "If it means killing and burning corpses, count me in." He followed the figure into the cave, it was dark to say the least - luckily, the figure has a torch with her.

As they were walking, they saw a corpse and heard some whimpering. They ran into the cave and saw a little girl, with an arrow to her shoulder, and her dying comrade, likely poison. Just as a little green figure is about to attack the little girl, a shot was fired from the suppressed pistol. They went towards the mourning girl and they just stare. The girl looks up and saw the two, pleading their aid. Firebreak and the figure already know what has to be done, but the girl is still injured. When Firebreak saw the poor girl, he immediately treated her with some medics and took the arrow off her shoulder. The girl asked them to help her friend, but at this point it is too late. The figure walks up to the dying one and ended her misery, while Firebreak comforts the little girl.

After that, the figure told the little girl to leave the cave, but she said to her that her friend is somewhere inside. She allows the girl to follow them deeper into the cave. They then spotted some goblins, which the Figure and Firebreak easily dispatch. The figure sets up a trap of some sort with both stakes met by a line of string. She told them, "On my signal, we run back here and jump the rope, understand", Firebreak and the girl immediately nods and they went deeper into the cave.

That's when they spotted 2 Goblins, one small on the chair made of bones and the other that is massive in structure. Before the little one could say something, the figure threw a knife at the neck, killing it. The massive brute rush towards them, clearly angered by the death of the little one. They ran in the opposite direction, causing the brute to follow. They saw the rope and jumped it. The Little girl used her miracle to cast <HOLY LIGHT> and upon doing so the Brute was blinded and trip the wire. The figure then pour flammable liquid on the brute and ignited it; this makes Firebreak chuckle. They have a small chat on the situation:

Firebreak: I see that you use flammable liquid.

Figure: it's hard to come by nowadays, very expensive for such a simple effect.

Lil girl: Wouldn't it spread to the others if it weren't to be stopped?!

Firebreak: I can see your distress, little girl. It amused to see how much people don't understand fire. You see, Fire is fickle thing, you think you understand it, then it begs to differ. See here it's a few corpses, no big surprise; I'm used to smell corpses, usually burnt and it smell good.

Figure: You are one weird man, not to mention the strange gear.

Firebreak: heh, what do you expect from someone who has an affinity with fire.

Figure: I see

Firebreak: Look, after this you need to answer a shit ton of questions from me.

Figure: Your not the only one.

They move through the fire with the girls surprised how little fire has affected him as he lifts the dead corpse of the "Hob." They stroll through and manages to find one of the Little girl's group member: a girl that has been raped, all eyes devoid of emotion, scars running across her body and not to mention that she is naked. The figure heard a sound, so to Firebreak. They turned and go towards the sound, while the little girl escorts her friend with a blanked to cover up her messed up body with a broken leg.

The 2 open the hatch to see baby goblins. Firebreak asked the woman of what she would do to these children. She held the club and looks as though she wanted to do this, but after seeing the club and the babies, Firebreak sigh and just burned the babies with the Purifier. This quick decision shocked the Figure, as she has never seen someone without hesitation other than herself.

They exited out the cave to see the little girl with her friend. They manage to bring the girl to the infirmary, along with the guild having some info with Firebreak:

Receptionist: *smile* Welcome back Goblin Slayer. Oh, I see you met the priestess and a new one.

Firebreak: *is that what the little girl is? A priestess? Well, it looks like I'm stuck in some fantasy shit show. At least I know the figure is named "Goblin Slayer."* Hello ma'am, how are you today?

Receptionist: Oh my, where are my manners? Uh, oh right, Goblin Slayer, is the quest successful?

Slayer: Indeed. Priestess?

Priestess: Yes, Slayer-san?

Slayer: Go get some chainmail, that should at least help you when your coming into battle.

Priestess: *turns to Firebreak* Mister?

Firebreak: I may not know much, but getting armor is better than nothing. Go ahead kid, you'll need it.

Priestess: Ok, see you two later, I guess *runs off*

Firebreak: *chuckles* kids these days.

Receptionist: Oh, ah mister, can I have a name please?

Firebreak: *takes off dog tag then gives it to the receptionist* Here, that's my real name, but to everyone else, call me Firebreak.

Receptionist: Oh, so your new here?

Firebreak: *nods*

Receptionist: Okay, thanks for the details. Uh, for now you should start at Porcelain Rank first. Please come tomorrow for your ID and you can start a quest immediately.

Firebreak: If it means killing a lot of things, I'm in.

Receptionist: Wonderful.

After that he walked out, but now is clueless to where to go next. That's when Slayer come up behind him. He turned and asked, "I beg your pardon Slayer, but do you have a place that I could stay for the time being", she thought about it for awhile before concluding, "You can stay with me at the Farm. Do as you like. Be warned that there are others there so try not to scare them." Firebreak followed the Slayer to where he would be staying for remainder from where he's at.
