Biography

"Prague-born Krystof Hejek is a battlefield problem solver; armed with a powerful arsenal of weaponry, he effectively resolves numerous issues over and over again using his favorite tool, fire. Whether it's direct one-on-one confrontation or the strategic denial of areas, there's no questioning Hejek's utility, even if the results of his work can be hard to stomach. Working up-close-and-personal with flame is something that very few volunteer to do, but Hejek thrives on it; he and fire appear to have come to an understanding. Usually calm and dispassionate, the only time he truly lights up is when his enemies do."

— Firebreak's biography

Firebreak had a troubled childhood due to his rough upbringing and his alcoholic father. After his sister was injured by their abusive father, Firebreak released his pent-up rage by setting fire to a warehouse. His father left him in the police station for that night, further enraging Firebreak. Later, Firebreak decided to put an end to the abuse and attempted to burn his father alive. His father survived and his sister was badly burnt, and he was sent to a correctional facility. At the age of 17, he was recruited into the military as a pyro unit.

Firebreak seems to care little about his allies. He sees battle less as dangerous and more as a physical activity or as fun. He gets a certain amount of respect from his comrades but he rarely returns this sentiment.

"Hm, my family, what's to tell, my mother left because my father was a drunk, no surprise, I acted out every chance I could. Small things first, little fire here, something broken there, no harm, no foul. One time, he hurt sister pretty bad, didn't mean to, but, grown man was stronger than he think, after that, I set fire to warehouse on other side of train tracks from house. Hehe, first time I get in trouble with police, father let me stay in holding cell for 3 days, probably not want anyone seeing sister's broken arm. I was 10 years old."

"Ha, a few months later after my father had passed out from night in customary stupor, my sister suggested we rid ourselves of the old man for good. Hmhm, seemed like good idea. I took his lighter from table and set fire to chair he was snoring in. This was when plan go bad, he woke up screamed and ran from room knocking over spirits on table, spread fire all over the place. Fire is fickle thing, you think you understand it, then it begs to differ. Father ran from house, sister got badly burnt, I ended up in juvenile care facility, and that's where I stayed 'til 17. When I get choice, Adult correctional facility, or military service. I picked military service, where now, they want me to burn people. Hehe, life is strange, no?"

" The job I do is not for everyone. It's close up work, you get to see what you do. You can't deny it. You can't unsee or unsmell it. Used to be I'd RTB, and the smell of burning flesh would be so strong, I wouldn't be able to eat. Doesn't bother me anymore. And as you can see, I normally get table to myself. I like to think I'm a problem solver. Enemy has you pinned down? Give me a minute, no problem. Choke point need choking? Flame, no problem. Hostile sniper using a building as nest? Give me five minutes. No building, no problem. You see the trend? Fire really is that versatile. "

"Understand that it has its moods, its tempers, won't always do what you want or expect it to, but, when it comes down to it, when you harness it properly, you're going to be one of the most effective units on the field, your kills are rarely clean, and they often make a lot of noise, psychological impact of that, hm, is priceless, you'll be feared by your enemies and respected by your allies, actually, your allies will probably fear you too, and you know, I'm fine with that."
