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, as well as Mining, and questing, in order to become the master of Firemaking. He has such skill in Firemaking that whenever he lights a fire, no ashes remain.

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 and Ajjat) but he does not elaborate what his other level 99 skill is. Some say it is Woodcutting, because you need wood to make a fire. With his cape, Ignatius appears to be wearing an orange armour, which is currently unavailable in-game.

The name "Ignatius" comes from the Latin word ignis, which means fire. Similarly, the name "Vulcan" comes from the Latin word vulcānus, who is the Roman god of fire and metalworking.

In Issue 36 of the Postbag from the Hedge (released November 2008), he reveals he is friends with Blaze Sharpeye, a pyromaniac:

Ignatius also owns his own store Ignatius's Hot Deals, which sells items related to firemaking, including the Firemaking cape for those of whom have reached level 99.

Trivia

 * He was introduced into the game at the same time as "Capes of Achievement" update, as Jagex could not find another NPC who was appropriately associated with Firemaking to sell the skillcape.
