August - the Charred Paladin

There's nothing but ashes left of August's humanity. His skin is made of stone and his blood is molten lava. Once a glorious paladin, now, August only seeks vengenance. His sense of justice was twisted by the curse that stripped him of his humanity. Fire of vengenance fuels his wrath, turning him into an unstoppable force that leaves only ruin behind itself.
