Ashes loves fire. From an early age he was fascinated by the element, wanting to learn how to control it. For years he sought ways to harness its power, wanting to manipulate it for material gain. However, while performing an experiment with unstable fuel cells,the "the beast" was unleashed, destroying his research facility and killing three of his associates, he was branded as "dangerous" and "reckless". He lost the backing of his corporate donors, who had wanted to score big with military grade incindiary devices; the military also pulled their contracts they had with him, leaving him penniless and without any prospects in his field of expertise.
Feeling betrayed by everyone, Ashes was consumed with a "burning" desire to get even, believing that he had been on the cusp of a break-through before the lab accident, and that he was made a scapegoat for the lawyers to blame before the families of those killed. Enraged, he continued to work on his weapons of flame, becoming a thief and arsonist for hire to finance his research. Fast forward five-years to the present. Ashes gained a reputation as one of the most prominent firebugs in North America. He has developed fuel cells that carry his experimental flamants that are a fraction of the size and weight of conventional flamethrower's packs, and they will last as long under similar usage. Also, Ashes joined Cobra over this period, starting as a Cobra Trooper, working his way up to a Viper, and then an Incinerator. Excelling in the Cobra Organization, Ashes was able to introduce his experimental fuel cells to Cobra Commander (after torching his superior, who had tried to take credit for developing the fuel himself); Cobra Commander was impressed by Ashes' "problem solving", and promoted him, placing him over all flame weaponry units. At this time he was also allowed to choose an individual moniker, since he would be answering directly to the Commander from here on out; he chose Ashes, saying that it would be easy to remember, because ashes were all that was left when he carried out an assignment. Ashes' favorite saying, "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust..."

Great piece, and it looks like a Snow trooper BP. I think I'll make myself something similar.
