Infernus is a Hero in Deadlock. He is an Ixian with a powerful control of flame that he uses to enhance his speed and ignite his enemies. Combining his Flame Dash with the ability to spew a Napalm catalyst, Infernus can chase down and ignite his foes with a deadly Afterburn. Any targets left standing will be subject to his explosive Concussive Combustion, knocking them out and leaving them vulnerable to further immolation.

As a creature from Ixia, Infernus had a troubled and intense youth while he was raised in the United States. Despite a rash of deadly crime as a teenager, he found himself tending a bar in his adulthood and learning to calm his intense emotions. With quality music and interesting people to talk to, Infernus rarely has a need these days to call up his dangerous supernatural abilities.

“Like most teenagers; Infernus was wild, rebellious, and impetuous. Unlike most teenagers, Infernus was a creature from another plane and had a supernatural mastery over fire. Needless to say: his youth was filled with no small amount of arson, murder, and evidence disposal. But that was then. Now an adult, Infernus has mellowed out considerably. He’s happy working at a bar with good live music, and talking to interesting people. That being said when someone at the bar gets belligerent or violent, he’s not afraid to dust off the skills he once honed.
Infernus' motivation in the ritual is to prevent Jezebel's Billiards Hall, the bar he tends to, from closing down.[3] The bar is under threat of closure due to a variety of code violations caught by the Alchemy Bureau.[4][5] Infernus mainly wants to save the bar for the sake of his friend/boss Hank, the owner of Jezebel's, because Hank "saved his life."[6][7][8]
As a second generation Ixian immigrant,[9] Infernus was born and raised in New York and has never visited Ixia.[10] He considers New York his home and doesn't follow news about Ixia or the Ixian war.[11]
Infernus used to work for the Mendoza Syndicate before he got replaced by Vyper.[12] Ivy doesn't recognise Infernus, which could imply that he worked for Mendoza before she came to life 18-20 years ago.[13][14]
Infernus is always well-dressed.[15]

Shopkeeper,[32] Victor[33] and 
Wraith[34] call him Fern. Abrams and Lady Geist call Infernus "their bartender".[35][36] Lady Geist and Krill offer to help Infernus prevent Jezebel's from closing.[37][38][39] Wraith and Infernus have worked together in the past.[40] Wraith believes Infernus' work as a bartender is "boring". She believes Infernus misses her, but he denies it.[41] While on the same team, Wraith tries to coax Infernus back into his criminal past.[42][43]
Mo & Krill that he wants to stay away from her.[45]
Seven, 
Vyper and Wraith tease Infernus for leaving his criminal life behind and becoming a bartender.[46][47][41]
