Ignatius Vulcan

Ignatius Vulcan is a non-player character who wanders around in the forest north-east of the Sorcerer's Tower making fires. He claims that he neglected his combat skills, Mining, and questing, in order to become the master of Firemaking. He has such skill in Firemaking that whenever he sets a fire, no ashes remain. He is located to the North East of the tower in the forest south of the Bank.

In Issue 37 of the Postbag from the Hedge (released November 2008), he reveals he is friends with Blaze Sharpeye, a pyromaniac:

For players with level 99 in Firemaking, Ignatius sells the Firemaking cape for 99,000 coins. He appears to be the only skillcape seller who has his cape trimmed, (other than Thok) but he does not elaborate what his other level 99 skill is. With his cape, Ignatius appears to be wearing an orange armour, which is currently unavailable in-game.

The name "Ignatius" almost certainly comes from the Latin word ignis, which means fire. It is also the origin of such English words as ignite. Similarly, the name "Vulcan" comes from the Latin word vulcānus, who is the Roman god of fire and metalworking, the original Greek name being Hephaestus. It is the origin of words such as volcano.

Ignatius's Hot Deals
Ignatius sells tinderboxes, unlit torches, bronze hatchets, as well as the Firemaking cape for those who have level 99 Firemaking.

Trivia

 * His examine text describes him as the Master of Fire, although he calls himself the Master of Flame.
 * He was introduced into the game at the same time as "Capes of Achievement" (now known as Capes of Accomplishment) update, as Jagex could not find another NPC who was appropriately associated with Firemaking to sell the skillcape.
 * After a hidden update, he now has his own shop Ignatius's Hot Deals.
 * He is the only NPC with a trimmed skillcape, excluding Thok, Master of Dungeoneering, who does also have 99 defence, and Ajjat who wears the Attack Cape, but not with the colour trim that players get.
 * He is a pyromaniac.
