[i]Age:[/i] 92, appears to be in his early twenties.
[i]Height:[/i] 6' 4"

[i]Stage Name:[/i] Phoenix
[i]Specialty Magic:[/i] Fire Manipulation

[i]Personality:[/i] Much like his signature element, Hadrian is a walking bonfire of emotion. He is boisterous, loud and over-the-top in every possible manner. Just make sure not to piss him off, because when he gets angry, he is quite possibly the scariest thing on God's Green Earth.

[i]Likes:[/i] Fire, incredibly hot (both in temperature and in spices) food and drink, especially his own cocktail mix which involves copious quantities of vodka and chilies. Jokes, pranks and anecdotes are also favourites.

[i]Dislikes:[/i] Rudeness, anyone who broods a lot, quiet people (they're no fun!), people with a fear of fire. If you really want to piss him off, abuse an animal or child. In that case, you might as well write your will there and then.

[i]Backstory:[/i] When his powers first manifested, they did so rather... explosively. This led to him being placed in an orphanage, where the others quickly learned to respect him and never, never pick on anyone when he was around, because failing to follow those rules often resulted in serious burns. Unfortunately, he was caught playing with fire several times and branded a pyromaniac, forcing him to remain in the orphanage until he came of age. He made a living as a blacksmith for a while, using his powers to heat the metal to the perfect temperature, but abandoned this trade when he came across other Mages. He has been honing his powers ever since, and joined up with the Troupe at the drop of a hat simply because it seemed like fun - something that should tell you a lot about him. Since then, he hasn't looked back.
