Operator Overview
"Ahh, I've longed for a hurricane of blood."
Flamebringer is every dual-wielding, leather-wearing, battle-crazy anime character all rolled into one. He has a mysterious past, only smiles on the battlefield, and spends his spare time taking care of flowers (probably so he can make speeches about how ephemeral the life of a flower is before he shanks somebody). He is also a 5* Duelist Guard who strikes a balance between DPS and Survival by gaining max HP when he kills an enemy.
Flamebringer has one of the highest maximum HP stats of any Operator in Arknights, and his Talent, Bloody Slaughter, buffs it up higher for every enemy unit he kills. Given the chance to massacre some weaklings early in a fight, Flamebringer can survive hits that would flatten most other Operators. His Skill 1, Blood Pact, shores up his survivability further by recovering his HP every few attacks. In contrast, his Skill 2, Blade Demon, rewards his survivability by giving him a massive, permanent buff to ATK and ASPD after he successfully attacks enough times in one battle.
That being said, don’t expect Flamebringer to be hitting his max potential in every battle. As a single-target Guard who can only Block-1, Flamebringer isn’t great at quickly amassing a lot of kills unless you go out of your way to feed them to him. On short, frantic maps where he doesn’t have the time to power-up, Flamebringer may not be much help to Rhodes Island. Then again, when you’re in for the long haul on a map like Annihilation, Flamebringer can snowball into the deadly dark knight of your most angsty teenage dreams.
Newbie Tier List Explanation
People love to meme on Flamebringer. He's better than what your friends will tell you, but not good enough to be worth developing.

Profile
Flamebringer, the self-professed Wandering Sarkaz Warrior, has no personal history besides that which he presented himself. The value of his document is rather limited, being only a list of the names of people who have died at his hands. However, the list does suggest that he is an outstanding swordsman.
Clinical Analysis
Increase Trust to 25.Imaging tests reveal blurry outlines of this operator's internal organs, clouded with abnormal dark spots. His circulatory system shows an abnormally high rate of Originium particulate matter, with other signs of Oripathy infection, we can confirm that the operator is indeed Infected.
[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 18%
The infection has spread far, with the face and neck showing clear signs of Originium erosion.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.41u/L
Having reached mid stage infection levels, and owing to the operator's refusal to cooperate with treatment, the infection is likely to worsen.

Increase Trust to 50.This Sarkaz swordmaster is a rare creature at Rhodes Island. Many operators and staff give Flamebringer a wide berth.
Most of the time, Flamebringer is a man of few words, prefers to stay by himself, and shows his personal feelings only to the Doctor. At that point, he seems like a completely different person. But behind the arrogant attitude he puts up for the Doctor, there appears to be another side of Flamebringer waiting for something, or perhaps expecting something.
After witnessing Flamebringer take a few lives, one must admit that the bloodthirsty madness of the swordmaster is indeed formidable, and of tremendous use on the battlefield. But the duality of this individual is striking, and we must be wary of the relationship between Operator Flamebringer and the Doctor.

Increase Trust to 100.Rhodes Island is home to a wealth of combat experience, including some warriors so deep in the fight they struggle to ever leave the battlefield. But Flamebringer does not fit neatly into the roster. His combat skills are second to none, certainly. But he has never seen victory as a goal to be won. He enjoys the process and excitement of taking lives for its own sake.
The use of the word 'commitment' with regard to battle is quite peculiar, but Flamebringer's fighting style does give the impression that he is fully committed to the art. Only when facing the razor thin line between life and death will he ever crack a smile. To Flamebringer, that moment is the ecstasy one lives for.

Increase Trust to 150.Due to the peculiar nature of this operator, human resources opted to conduct an investigation into his past.
There is no doubt that the list of names Flamebringer provided himself is significantly understated. Each name on the list is a person of great importance, with the capacity to personally swing the fate of a battle. In other words, if Flamebringer did indeed take these lives, then his past is far more complicated than we ever imagined. It is necessary for us to conduct a deeper investigation and reevaluate Flamebringer's position as a Rhodes Island Operator.
End of record: Dr. Kal'tsit put a stop to the second round of investigations. She believes the Doctor is capable of managing the Flamebringer situation at this point. If he chose to bury his past, digging it up will only cause problems.
Or perhaps the people and events that have been buried simply have not yet had their time to reemerge into the story.

Increase Trust to 200.As his time with Rhodes Island grew, we came to know that Flamebringer quite enjoys gardening, cultivating potted plants and flowers. It was quite surprising to learn he held on to such 'interests.'
Most operators never have a chance to learn about Flamebringer's inner self, and chalk these things up to a kind of 'contrast': a deadly swordmaster returns from the battlefield to care for his flowers. That's it.
But of course, it may truly be that simple. That Flamebringer treats these plants, himself, his allies, his enemies, and all living beings with the exact same, unified attitude. We must first gain an understanding of this before we can truly understand Flamebringer.
Perhaps this is the reason Flamebringer regards both himself and his enemies so fleetingly. From this perspective, his cold and arrogant attitude may stem from an internal philosophy regarding the nature of life itself.

Promotion Record
Upgrade to Elite LV2.A true warrior knows no fear of death. He will challenge the limits of life itself again and again, in search of the depths of his own heart, in search of eternal glory, and in search of the greatest skill. The same is true for Flamebringer. He wields his two blades to expand the edges of his destiny. As for why he is so obsessed with this pursuit, perhaps it is to explore the meaning of life itself at this conflict-riddled moment in history. I certainly hope that is it.

| Appointed as Assistant | {@nickname}, today's battlefields are too fragile and juvenile compared to the ones of the past. It's enough to make one's weapons rust. And once a soldier's weapons rust, death soon follows. |
|---|---|
| Talk 1 | Life is but a brief flicker before the vast maw of annihilation. Cherish the glimpse of the sunset on the deck while you still can, {@nickname}. |
| Talk 2 | Practical exercises? I'm not interested. While Rhodes Island boasts many powerful warriors, squandering one's physical strength in a game is gratuitous. Only in the edge between life and death does the clashing of swords have any value. |
| Talk 3 | I'm not concerned about the plight of the Infected? Don't misunderstand me - I only despise fighting in vain. No enemy worth spilling my blood over has appeared yet, and that's all there is to it. |
| Talk after Promotion 1 | Teamwork will rob one of the instincts that are liberated only through rampant slaughter. What 'trust' and 'strategizing' buy you are nothing but convenient illusions, and these illusions will one day take your life, {@nickname}. |
| Talk after Promotion 2 | This blade ran through two crown princes, and this other one slew three generals. In this chaotic world, anything can happen. I don't know who will claim my life one day, but when it happens, I sure hope it will be more exciting than when I killed these people. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 1 | Shining, huh? A pity, but she could have been a very worthy adversary. But after getting pulled into that situation with the 'Sinners,' she felt like her blade had been besmirched. Swordsmen who do not acknowledge their own weapon are not worth mentioning. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 2 | {@nickname}, you remember that battle, right? After killing all the ambushers, I lead the survivors and charged straight into the traitor's fortress. I was the only one who made it out alive. How'd that all start? Oh, you know the answer to that. I've seen you before, and my memory is very good. |
| Talk after Trust Increase 3 | {@nickname}, help me fetch those seeds in the cupboard, won't you? Thank you. Yes, I'm actually quite fond of flowers. No matter how brilliantly they blossom, their petals must wither and fall into the wind. When will the petals next wither, {@nickname}? |
| Idle | Vigilance can keep you alive, {@nickname}. |
| Onboard | We meet again, {@nickname}. Don't worry, I understand the situation you're in now, and pose no threat to you. I shall be your blade, so use me as you see fit, Doctor. |
| Watching Battle Record | The skills of a great warrior cannot be recorded. |
| Promotion 1 | Promotion? So you also care about these rituals. |
| Promotion 2 | I have no consciousness of what it's like to be Infected. Perhaps Rhodes Island can help me understand. I don't care, but you have your own considerations. I'll hear them out. |
| Added to Squad | Ahh, I've longed for a hurricane of blood. |
| Appointed as Squad Leader | I've been a captain before, and it did not end well. |
| Depart | I will bathe in their blood. |
| Begin Operation | Let's begin. |
| Selecting Operator 1 | Do not interfere. |
| Selecting Operator 2 | Do what you must. |
| Deployment 1 | So, who will be my next opponent? |
| Deployment 2 | Will it be you? Or maybe you? |
| In Battle 1 | The blade predates the flame. |
| In Battle 2 | Reap bone and blood. |
| In Battle 3 | Whose name will you cry as you pass? |
| In Battle 4 | Not my business. |
| 4-star Result | Did this battle satisfy you, {@nickname}? |
| 3-star Result | A weak enemy proves nothing. Search for a worthier battlefield. |
| Sub 3-star Result | A dedicated opponent will prove to be a worthy adversary in the future, let them do just that. |
| Operation Failure | You guys get out of here, destroying pursuing enemies has always been my duty. |
| Assigned to Facility | It's pretty quiet here. |
| Tap | Yeah? |
