 Bio: Well this is the second of the elder Krieghoffs, Bonfire is the younger brother of the Overlord and for this man he had a bit of an easier life then his elder rebellious brother. For Bonfire never directly rebelled against the ways of his father, he saw what happened to Richter, though this man would also turn a blind eye to his fathers wishes of becoming another banker and working inside the corporate world. Hectors fate was predestined and he would follow in his brothers footsteps and join the military after college much to his fathers chagrin. Hector was set up with everything he needed so that he would become the next baron of industry and become a political machine, he would work as an intern to multiple senators throughout his college and high school studies. He would even serve as a direct assistant to his father within the federal reserve, though none of this mannered to Hector, his patriotism ran deep in his veins and he idolised his older brother who was already leading a valiant career inside the Army. So Hector hung up his business suits for a uniform and upon graduation he would join the Army entering as an officer and watching his trust fund vanish before his eyes. His father was so outraged that he wouldn’t even be present for his graduation from basic training and officer candidacy school, Hector wouldn’t hear from his father again for multiple decades, and even then it wouldn’t be till he was deeply involved with the Krieghoff empire that he would even acknowledge the Howitzer again.

         Bonfire wouldn’t have as long a career in the military as his older brother did, but he would still have a very illustrious one seeing many theatres throughout the worlds stage, he would fight in many campaigns that would eventually help set the stage for the deceptions of the False Flag, if he had known the end game of the missions he was commanding Hector would never have led his troops into  those battles, though he was ignorant to the true plans of the False Flag and those in command figured Hector would just fall in line being a Krieghoff, well this was there first mistake, they assumed that a Krieghoff would just roll over and die. Second was they under estimated the patriotism that burned inside Bonfire and his dedication to his oath, his love of God and country and his sheer stubbornness. This would lead to a a violent explosion when Hector would disobey a direct order and he would turn his guns on the General that would give him the orders to assault the American people that where rising up against the Native forces. This would not only end his career, he would be forced to flee the military and flee Washington in a hurry as he was now a wanted man for murder of a superior officer.

          Bonfire would have no choice but to return home, hoping that his Father would forgive him and as well offer him sanctuary from the government. Little did he know that his own father had rebelled against the rise of the False Flag and had set up a contingency plan that would become the great Krieghoff empire under the command of Richter. When Hector returned to Seattle he was surprised to see his brother there as well as other Krieghoffs that had all heard the call to return home once the great tragedy began. Hector would quickly stand at his brothers side in rebellion and help defend him from the storm troopers that would come to assassinate the Overlord. Though for Bonfire this was harder than you would think, seeing that the unit sent to kill the Overlord was his old unit and he would be forced to take up arms against his own men, soldiers that he respected, trained and saw as his own sons. He would be forced to kill these men to defend his brother and this would not only break his heart as he has to kill his fellow brothers, it would ignite the flame that burned deep inside of Bonfire and cause him to become just like his brother. He would see this as the final act of tyranny and he would as well vow to topple the false flag and torch everything in a great effigy.

         So thats what this man would do, he would forever be known as Bonfire and he would begin to ignite the fires of rebellion within the city, he would act as the right hand of the Overlord and help command and train the family a well as the mercenaries that would become employed by them. Hector would use his former Green Beret training against the UCAS and thus train those that planed to stand in defiance against the UCAS in the tactics of the special forces, so these men cold fight against those that would be sent to assault the Krieghoffs. As well during the early days of the empire Hector would use his vast training to enter into the battlefield of the streets to assault those that would stand opposed to the reign of the Krieghoffs and anyone that stood alongside the UCAS. If you can remember back in the fall of 2050 the great fires that engulfed a vast majority of the Iron Side and caused the deaths of countless citizens and displaced thousands. Well the fires where caused by Bonfire and it was all about a property dispute, and tenants withholding their rent and not paying for the protection, these tenants decided to involve the UCAS and well Bonfire responded quickly with the his favourite tool napalm and thermite. Not only did he torch the homes of those that owed them money, he torched a large portion of the surrounding region and then sent in many mercenaries equipped with thermite launchers to keep the fires burning bright and engage the fire department until the fires burned long enough for his vengeance to be sedated and the message sent never anger the Krieghoffs. Once the fires were put out and the land up for sale, who do you think swooped in to gobble it up cheap, you guessed it Bonfire the arson himself walked right into city hall with no fer and bought the land deeds. Only to rebuild it once again as barely liveable apartments, though do to there new rivers view he would overprice the current tenets that survived the fires and force eviction upon them.

          This man is a true soulless monster and he is perfect for the Krieghoffs, as he is the enforcer for the family and since his wrath comes with fire, people tend to just fall in line when it comes to dealing with Bonfire, since the family has there hands so deep in the cities political system, and legals system it is hard to fight against this man that will not think twice about torching your home with you inside. Bonfire has also set himself up with a serious racket as he is as well a shrewd business men and has managed to buy into many of the nations insurance companies and he uses this as another tactic and threat, either pay up or get torched and dropped. He is a true slum lord, though he is not an absentee landlord, Bonfire keeps close tabs on his tenants and if he even suspects UCAS loyalties you can guarantee a midnight visit from Bonfire.

           This man has managed to use fear to keep the enemies of the Krieghoffs in line and he has even set members of his own family on fire that have tried to turn against them. Just like the Overlord, Bonfire has no qualms about sending a very brutal message to anyone that wishes to oppose the family, this commitment to the family and the cause has allowed him keep a very tight reign on the Krieghoffs and as well the city of Seattle especially the Lynnwood district. Howitzer and Bonfire as well ave rekindled there relationship and Bonfire has forgiven his father for the abandonment, though for Bonfire he still holds a grudge and hasn’t fully accepted the apology. Though as the years go by, the youngest son is becoming more and more like his father in mannerism and actions, he has accepted his fathers money to help front his insurance scams and help front the furtherment of the families goals. So for now the Howitzer and Bonfire are on speaking terms, though the apple didn’t far to from the tree and seeing that they are so similar it won’t be long before Bonfire again disowns his father or vice a versa.

            So when it comes to this man, it is best to just avoid his wrath, pay your dues and accept the terms he sets forth. He is true warrior and brave soldier, though he has become absorbed into the family empire and his vengeance guides him. So be very cautious for this is one man that is just as deadly on the battlefield as he is in the boardroom and he holds grudges and never forgets nor forgives. So unless you are looking for a very painful death, it would be best to just stay on Bonfires good side, hell just stay in the good graces of the Krieghoffs in general cause the Overlord can always ask his brother to pay you a visit and then the night sky will once again burn bright
