Father of Blizzard. He is thought to have died in a fire rescuing Blizzards younger sister. But is (hopefully) revealed to have survived but having to go underground meeting clearstone. He was badly injured and knew he would be afraid to go into the open air again. When Clearstone goes onto the surfice after  almost being killed by rocks falling to look for help Flame never sees him again for 2 years while surviving underground with several injured parts of the body never being the same again. Though Blizzard eventuly accedently get buried in a land slide and falls into the cave.
