Ignis is a compact rock gnome encased in a bulky suit of brass-plated armor that looks less manufactured than grown around him from layers of hammered salvage. Smoking exhaust pipes rise from his shoulders like crooked horns, while dramatic crimson mantle ribbons sweep from his back and flutter constantly in the thermal updrafts. His face is permanently smudged with soot except around two sharp cheekbones, and his pale hair stands on end from static electricity, each strand crackling faintly blue. His movements are surprisingly fast and precise for such a massive suit, with a clanking, birdlike tilt of the head whenever he studies a machine. The unexpected contradiction is that his armor is intimidating and furnace-hot, but his left gauntlet is decorated with tiny painted flowers made by children from the Furnace Warrens.
