Wildfire was once a young lion of the Fire Claw Clan,
about to enter the Rite of Infernos - a test of survival in the dangerous plains of fire. However, because he was made of gold, he was treated as an outcast and was not allowed to participate.
But that didn't stop him.
That night, Wildfire secretly followed the path of the other lions, carrying only his father's enchanted shield. Soon he found them cornered by a giant flame scorpion. Using the shield, he protected the group from the beast's enormous stinging tail, giving them time to escape safely.
And although Wildfire was injured in the fight, his father's shield magically changed him - magnifying the strength that was already in his heart - making him the most powerful of his clan.
Now part of Team Trap, Wildfire uses his massive Traptanium-bound shield to defend anyone who needs it!
