Grew up to be a fireman and appeared in all the papers for saving a baby from a burning building. Famous, Fireguard was called to integrate into the Commandos and cut the cost of Cobras!
“Our friend Fireguard and fire!” is what the Commandos say!
Brazil Barbecue v1
Note 1: I believe the last sentence is: "Our friend Fireguard is fire...!" The accent mark changes everything, but also reveals a puzzling statement: Why would a firefighter "be" fire? What's that even mean?
Note 2: Even though this is "Brazilian Barbeque v.1", it's actually based on the U.S. "Slaughter's Marauder's Barbeque."
They also had a "Brazilian Barbeque v.2, based on the U.S. "v.1". I'm pretty sure they're meant to be 2 different people. I went ahead and translated the "2nd Barbeque's" file-card:
Fogueira ‘Bonfire / Fire Pit’ (Barbecue v.1) - Linha de Fogo ‘Line of Fire / Fire Line’
Amongst the toys of a child, the firefighter carts were preferred by Bonfire. He always found fantastic the sound of sirens and the courage of the soldiers of fire. So much that, for him, the more fuel on the fire, the better. Is not for less that Bonfire was soon in control of the line of fire of the Commandos. Worse for the Cobras, because after that Bonfire passes are [only] left-over ashes.
Interestingly, his name and file-card duties make it seem like he enjoys starting fires, not stopping them!
Edit: I just discovered that Foguiera can be translated "Fireman" also, so it does have the extra meaning of one who puts out fires...
