Fictional biography
Solarblast is not a cadet, nor is he even real, but he does exist. He is a by product created by Banshee using forbidden tech to remove a portion of his own ember. As Banshee has seemed himself perfect, he made Solarblast as a first attempt at becoming a god. Like Banshee, Solarblast suffers from a god like complex and feels he is far above his rank and position. Considered by some a mere knock off of Banshee or a freak accident of a bad science experiment. Solarblast is not given much respect by his fellow soldiers. When called a fake or just generally enraged, Solarblast will unleash mini solar flares that cause damage to all around him.
