This ability releases ionized, high-temperature Arche gas through the veins of his fingers.

The attack form can be adjusted according to the concentration of the ionized Arche gas. And because it is different from normal plasma, it is also effective against heat-proofed Vulgus.

Ultimate suit: golden skull mask, black tail coat that's more leather looking, a red gem in the chest. His hair is slicked back due to the mask.

Personality: Kind, fun-loving, loves cooking and making others happy, but he does get serious when the time comes.

Fresh vegetables, toast free of sawdust, savory and thick soup, and a juicy, processed meat steak that has been perfectly matured and grilled. Such a meal would be considered excessive even during a festive period for the desperate members of humanity, but whenever this menu appeared at the mess hall, the troops were unable to hide their gloom. Known as 'The Last Supper', it was a part of a military tradition where soldiers were fed this meal just before a dangerous operation.

As the best chef in Albion who had prepared the final meal for many years, Blair possessed an incredible talent for cooking which had even exempted him from conscription, but he no longer wished to cook for the military. After all, did his best cooking have any meaning for those who ate it with a heavy heart? Instead, Blair always wanted to be able to cook delicious meals for the troops who may be having their final meal on any given day, and he had a promising plan to realize this desire. If he could find and open the hyper-cold ingredients vault that had been designed a century ago, during humanity's golden age, his plan would no longer be unachievable.

However, one day, there was an incident during which a Colossus had appeared above the ingredients vault which the Recon Squad had painstakingly discovered. After a failed Intercept Battle, the Colossus landed in Ingris and the nearby area was bathed in an infernal blaze... Hearing this, Blair followed the Descendants who had been deployed, only to find that the vault door had been twisted beyond imagination by the scorching heat and the ingredients within withering away in the flames. Stunned at this sight, Blair failed to realize that he had become the next target of the Colossus. Blair was engulfed in the flames that the Colossus spewed towards him, leading the Descendants present at the scene to believe this to be the end of Blair. It seemed that Albion's greatest chef, full of dreams and romance, had met his demise.

However, their predictions would soon be proven wrong. A grappling hook shot out from the flames and lodged itself in the Colossus's weak point, and Blair flew forward, bombarding the weak point with the fire emanating from both of his hands, and thus defeating the Colossus. In his moment of crisis, he had awakened as a Descendant.

After this, Blair found himself facing two choices: become a soldier as a Descendant, or remain a chef and continue to cook 'The Last Supper'. Blair made the decision to become a Descendant. The reason: If he became a Descendant and incinerated all of the Vulgus, then 'The Last Supper' would no longer need to be cooked.

The Ultimate Descendant Project refers to a plan in which either the Ancestors' technology and equipment found throughout Ingris, or their special Arche genes, are refined to suit the characteristics of active Descendants, then applied to them. The ultimate goal being to enhance all Descendants to reflect the Ancestors, the powerful predecessors of humanity.

Although it has been kept strictly confidential to this point, it has been an open secret among the Magisters that Blair was the first choice to receive the "Indomitable Knight." While, the final research results showed the "Indomitable Knight" was better suited to Lepic's characteristics, there was a more decisive reason why Blair was excluded from the project. It was mostly due to his lack of will and indifferent attitude. Even after becoming a Descendant, he was only concerned with developing recipes for soldiers and finding the cryogenic food storage facilities when he wasn't carrying out Operations.

Blair still had a lukewarm response even when his close friend Lepic succeeded in becoming an Ultimate Descendant. He felt it was more valuable to focus on recipes to increase the production of Ingr Cookies than on high-performance battlesuits. However, as the old saying goes in Ingris, "A simple heart attracts good, and excessive greed disappears in the wind," everything changed one day, as if it were all part of his destiny.

It was a shocking event for everyone when Blair, who had encapsulated the somewhat dishonorable phrase "being a Descendant is a side job," appeared with a piece of unknown Ancestors equipment in tow. The Magisters demanded that Blair remove the suit in order to research it, but Anais stopped them.

"I know how you feel, but for now, this should belong to Blair. Let's just give it a codename for now. Codename... Prominence would be nice."

Seeing Anais, who was always cold and businesslike, come to his defense, Blair instinctively thought that she might share his feelings. While the ambitious Magisters research apprentices fiercely protested, Blair caught a fleeting smile from Anais which turned his intuition into certainty. It may have started out as a coincidence, but it was in fact, all destiny.

Blair Rodris is now ready to cook up the fiercest, most passionate battle of all.
