Igneous Giesrieg

Igneous Giesrieg is a commander in the Astarian army. He bears a strong hatred of Kim-un-kur, and a dislike of +Anima.

History
At a young age, Igneous idolized his grandfather. After hearing of his death at the Battle of Moss Mountain, Igneous develops a strong hatred of the Kim-un-kur, but also +Anima who he associates them with.

Growing up, his best friend was Fly Greena Aight, who gave him the nickname "Iggy". They would explore Astar together and when he was ten, they met a pigeon +Anima; Igneous couldn't trust her despite Fly's arguments.

Plot
Igneous marches his unit across a mountain trail. A group coming the other way includes the Kim-un-kur Senri. Igneous is unable to control his rage at seeing a Kim-un-kur and startles a horse which cause them to lose some supplies down the mountain. Cooro, Senri and Rose help to retrieve the supplies.

Later, Igneous requests Harden to forge weapons for the Astarian military; Igneous persists when Harden refuses. He picks a fight with Senri who shows up near Harden's home, but is interrupted by Harden. That night, Igneous catches Nana trying to steal from their camp, so he uses her as leverage to convince Harden to forge the weapons. When Harden instead makes household tools and after seeing his soldiers reactions, Igneous concedes and leaves.

Igneous is sent on a diplomatic mission to Moss Mountain to negotiate with the Kim-un-kur. He stops by Sandra to ready provisions before heading west. The Kim-un-kur refuse to speak with him, but after returning with Senri, Igneous is able to get an audience with Si Mukar. Before they will negotiate, Igneous is given a trial to prove himself. During the trial, Igneous is attacked by Amurui. Despite believing he failed, Si Mukar is satisfied by his actions. Igneous and his soldiers are later escorted off the mountain and they run into Marca Brighton on the way.

Some time after returning to Astar, Igneous warns Fly of rumors about him, but Fly doesn't care. Igneous continues to visit Fly at the Astarian National Research Facility‏‎, but is unable to deter him from his research.

Fly Greena Aight
Igneous's best friend. They have been close since they were children, and despite Fly's often carefree attitude, Igneous always looks out for him.
