A detailed image of 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 also owns his own store, Ignatius's Hot Deals, selling items related to Firemaking.

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

“	I gave a pile (of cursed magic logs) to my good friend Blaze, who used them to light a beacon, Before he could put the fire out, the smoke had formed into the shape of the King Black Dragon! Varrock was thrown into a complete state of panic, and poor Blaze had his wages docked.	”
	— Ignatius Vulcan

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.
• It is revealed in The Firemaker's Curse that he is partners with Sera.
• 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.
• You can't "Add-Logs" to his fires, and when you examine them it says "Hot!" instead of "a [Log type] log fire.
• He is the only NPC to have a trimmed skillcape.
