Shed Shel Esh

"I burn in the rain. I burn in ice. I burn down houses, forests, villages and towns. I am a raging, undying flame that no force on this planet can extinguish...Trust me, I've tried extinguishing this flame with my own hands. It melted."

- Shed Shel Esh, "Man on Fire", contemplating his uncontrollable power Shed Shel Esh (シェッド シェル エシュ, Sheddo Sheru Eshu lit. Devil of Fire), more infamously known as Man on Fire (男上火, Otoko Jō Hi), is a legendary "monster" who roamed the land for almost a decade, leaving a large fire wherever he went that took great efforts to take out. In reality, the fearful Man on Fire was once human, and still is, but due to misusing a Black Arts-type of Fire Magic, his very flesh turned to inextinguishable flames, forcing him to turn into a monster of flames that will burn anything and everything it touches.

Years later, he was confronted by Darkwalker, and after assisting him in controlling his flames better, to the point that he could touch things without burning them, he accpeted the identity of Shed Shel Esh, and became a part of El Met, soon after becomine one of its elites, the "Holchei Eden" (ホルキー イーデン, Horukī Īden lit. Heaven-Walkers), and is among the top three strongest, being the overall strongest member of El Met, with only its leader, Darkwalker, surpassing his power.
