10. Karim Flam

Karim Flam is a former priest of the Holy Sol Temple and a Second Generation Lieutenant of Special Fire Force Company 1.

His Second Generation abilities allow him to create ice using Thermoacoustic Refrigeration, an ability that allows him to collect heat energy from an external source inside the instrument and then transform the energy into sound, thus decreasing its temperature.

An enormous, tall, and burly man who is extremely loyal to the Evangelist, Charon is an incredibly powerful Second-Generation pyrokinetic that can absorb and amass kinetic energy that he receives from attacks into his body, then convert it into thermal energy, which he uses to attack his opponents.

7. Arthur Boyle

Arthur Boyle is a third-generation pyrokinetic and fire soldier of Tokyo’s Special Fire Force Company 8. Due to his arrogant and pompous nature, Arthur often creates bad impressions whenever he meets new people. As a way to cope with his abandonment as a child, Arthur developed a fantasist complex which he uses to regard himself as a knight, going as far as acting like one and even treating the people around him as his subjects. In some senses, Arthur is the guardian of the Fourth Pillar, Shinra Kusakabe.

1. Benimaru Shinmon

Benimaru Shinmon is a hybrid Second and Third Generation pyrokinetic and the current captain of Special Fire Force Company 7. Regarded as the strongest soldier in the Special Fire Force, Benimaru is known as “Asakusa’s King of Destruction” because of his devastating firepower.
