History
Born to scientific French parents in the city of Lyon, young Alfonse wanted to be a scientist ever since his youth. A bright, though not physically fit boy, he felt destined for greatness and decided that biology was to be his focus. Of course, neither his parents nor his teachers realized little Alfonse had a cruel streak, as he liked to dissect amphibians and reptiles and try and graft insects together into new forms. Dogs and cats weren't too fond of him either. But things seemed to develop normally and he graduated from university in Biological Science, moving to get his Master's and PHD focusing on biotechnology, going to work for a medical tech company in Geneva.
He became fixated on the work of Dr. Moreau, to the point where he felt HE could succeed in making new lifeforms that could be used as workhorses, and better yet, experimental vehicles to test chemical products on. Naturally, he went to work for the cosmetics industry, but found that regulation was quite strict in Europe. He started to scour the underworld for a place where he could further his goals without strict government scrutiny, and found a contact for a secret biotech lab operating under the guise of a cosmetics company in Johannesburg, South Africa: NutriLives Inc.
After moving he settled into his new job and proved to be extremely capable, and within a few years earned a promotion to the head of R&D. He bought stock in the company and started doing dangerous work mutating humans and animals into new forms, so that highly dangerous chemical experiments could be performed - ones that would kill human OR animal on their own. Fame and fortune were close at hand, but then, someone blew the whistle and it all came falling down. UNTIL forces froze NutriLives' assets, seized the building and arrested most of the staff, though Alfsone managed to slip away. But not before an altercation with his own test subjects resulted in a near fatality that left him scarred, and further mentally warped. With no money, his name disgraced and his research burned, he raged at the heavens and blamed everyone but himself, typically.
Alfsone vowed that biological experimentation led to nothing but ruin, and if he couldn't play God, nobody would. So he formed a new gang: The Purifiers, whose mission is to find and terminate any and all mutants, particularly ones created by scientists, who the newly dubbed Dr. Smolder would be all too happy to burn up too.
Personality
Loud and rude, Dr. Smolder is not afraid to speak his mind at full volume - whether it be about disgusting mutants or the quality of the food he is currently scarfing down. He is a big man with big ideas and little patience. He tends to be foul-mouthed and has no regard for manners, as they just slow a superior man like himself down! He has important work to do! He tends to attack problems like a freight train and ignores most attempts at being subtle, but makes up for a lack of finesse with sheer stubbornness, often to his detriment. The one thing he hates anything more is hesitance and indecision. As a result, he tends to have a short fuse.
Despite this, he is still highly intelligent and keeps his gang of pyromaniacs functioning like a well-oiled machine, not to mention his extensive knowledge of biology that makes him a master of anatomy as well as knowledgeable when it comes to many forms of mutation. Though all of his technology is outsourced, he is cunning enough to pick his contacts carefully, and orchestrates bloody acts of vengeance against those who double-cross or manipulate him in some way. While he shares common cause with many other outlaws, he is not out to make friends, and is well aware a large amount want him dead - and he has many contingency plans to ensure his own survival.
Despite all of his bluster about the dangers rampant mad science has on humankind, he is still just a jealous and murderous psychopath beneath it all. The more he uses the suit, the more he comes to enjoy the sensation of burning things to a crisp. If he could, he'd burn the whole planet to a crisp if it meant wiping out everything he hates.
Combat/Powers
Physically, Smolder is out of shape. He is akin to a sumo wrestler who hasn't been in the ring for a while. The real work is done by his custom-ordered fire suit he had made for him by an unknown inventor, to his own specifications. The suit not only protects him from extreme temperatures, it is also incredibly durable with elements of kendrium in it. It is equipped with flamethrower units on his gauntlets, as well as an in-built chainsaw and thermite rocket system. Not to mention, he can rapidly heat up his hands and feet for brutal melee strikes - even the chainsaw can catch fire.
The suit also allows him to run in bursts of extreme speed thanks to a special ignition system in the feet, but this eats up a lot of energy and due to his physical state he tends to get winded after a short burst of quick movement. The suit is also susceptible to EMP weaponry, but Smolder is constantly working ways to improve the suit, so he may modify it to fix design flaws.
