"Wrath Wildfire", a fire genasi previously known as Subject A-26, is a former experiment of Dr. Cain Temple. A-26 was acquired by the Æther foundation as a young child, still in infancy, and spent a large amount of his childhood in the foundation, up until he was 8 years old, when he was able to escape. At the time of escape, A-26 was being tested upon to discover if it were possible to separate the elemental spirit of a genasi from the body itself. Tests had been conducted to determine if A-26's mental state was well enough to perform these experiments, and though the subject had not passed, Dr. Temple elected to perform the tests anyways, as the other genasi at the institution a) did not have the physical capacity to withstand the test, and b) were all acting in line, while A-26 was not. A-26 was placed in a small chamber designed to apply as much pain as possible without killing the subject inside. After an unknown amount of time in the chamber, A-26's body atrophied, and an elemental spirit separated from the subject's body, a raw fire elemental. This elemental, however, began to attack the foundation, leading A-26 to an exit, though the body itself was barely conscious. In the events following, Professor Luthor Irongrip was sent after the subject to see if he could retrieve him. Irongrip was able to corner the subject, but was caught off guard by a wave of elemental magic, burning half of his face and allowing the subject to run and jump off of a cliff. Luthor believed the fall to have been fatal to the subject, and so reported back to Dr. Temple. A-26, however, had landed in a small stream that had broken his fall enough to leave him only slightly injured, as he began to be pulled down the mountain by the water's current. He eventually lost consciousness, only coming to on the deck of a boat surrounded by... circus performers? A-26 had been picked up out of the water by a ship carrying Beezos Bumblebloom's Travelling Circus. On this boat, A-26 realised that he still needed food and shelter, and was able to recieve such with the circus if he became a performer. He agreed, becoming Wrath Wildfire. A few years later, in 1976, another person joined the circus, this one being a changeling named Shaco. Shaco and Wrath became close friends through the circus, and eventually had decided to go out on their own, where they joined with an adventuring group of... questionable intelligence and morality - a perfect group for the duo.
