Sharkface

"What the fuck is with this guy?"

- Washington

The Insurrection Flame Soldier was first seen in Planning the Heist, along with five other soldiers. He later reappeared in Episode 14.

Role in Plot
This soldier first appeared in a glimpse of a squad of Insurrectionists walking down a highway in Planning the Heist. In Son of a Bitch, he is told to head to the vault by a fellow Insurrectionist and attack the freelancers.



In Episode 15, he does so. He makes a bold entrance, prompting Wash to ask "What the fuck is with this guy?". He then fires his flamethrower, causing Wash and Carolina to take cover. They begin to open fire, however the soldier has bullet proof armor and he continues to fire at them. Wash throws a grenade at him, but it goes off in the flames. Carolina begins to fire at him again and he fires at her. The Covenant weapons on the table covering Carolina begin to overheat and explode, sending her back. Wash grabs a Fuel Rod Cannon and fires at the soldier. However the round bounces instead of exploding at the soldier's feet, causing Wash to question who would make such a gun and saying: "This is the worst gun ever. Of all ti-", cut off when Carolina pushes him out of the oncoming fire and tells him to stay low. She runs along, dodging the soldier's flame, eventually jumping on to a Banshee hanging from the ceiling. She fires at the soldier in order to get his attention. He fires at her, causing the ropes holding the Banshee up to burn and snap. She sticks a grenade in the Banshee, causing it to explode and hit the soldier, knocking him over. A Gravity Hammer lands near Carolina and she throws it at the soldier as he was beginning to get up, killing him.

Trivia

 * His armor colors are Primary: Steel, Secondary: Maroon.
 * The designed of his Flamethrower resembles the "Hellbringers" from Halo Wars.
 * He is the only character in the entire series to have a red visor.
 * Aside from the visor and Flame equipment, his armor can be copied. The required armor is as follows; ODST Helmet (no attachments), Collar/Grenadier [UA] chest piece, Commando left shoulder, and Commando right shoulder.
 * Some fans believed that the soldier's name was Sharkface, due to the fact that on the Red vs Blue Season 9 soundtrack, the music playing during the fight with the Flame Soldier is called "Sharkface." However, this name was given to him by the series' current composer, Jeff Williams. Since Williams has nothing to do with the character creation or writing of the scripts used in Red vs Blue, this name is non-canon.
