Ignitus

 Ignitus is the Guardian Dragon of Fire and the leader of the four Guardians, and serves as a father figure and mentor to Spyro, providing him with words of wisdom and leading him on the right path, as well as teaching him about the element of fire. As leader of the remaining Guardians, Ignitus has unquestionable ability within range of attack power, second only to Terrador in military strategy. He is often calm and collected, but has been known to break out into fits of fury, using his fire ability to great effect. He blames himself for everything that has happened to Spyro and Cynder and he carries that guilt throughout the series. His faith in Spyro is utterly unwavering and he is a devout believer in the Ancestors, truly believing that Spyro is nature's way of balancing itself against Malefor's evil.

The most dedicated of the four Guardians, Ignitus is still haunted by the failures of his past and seeks to redeem himself. Equally capable of warmth, rage, and long, smoldering bouts of shame, resentment, and regret, he keeps his distance from the other three Guardians, Volteer, Cyril, and Terrador. However, when the time comes, he is only too glad to enlighten others and stoke the embers of hope and stand in the face of fire that others might burn even brighter.
