| Trivia
|
- Tatsuya's given name means "to be a dragon"; his family name contains the elements "by all means" and "wisteria".
- Tatsuya's missing right eye and the scar around it are a direct result of the first time Tatsuya Suou ever summoned his Persona Vulcanus.
- To conceal the gaping hole and the scar when out and about, Tatsuya wears an eyepatch and a coat of the sort of makeup burn victims use to cover up their disfigurements.
- Like most evil geniuses, Tatsuya has a cat. Its name is Fortinbras; he has slightly fluffy white fur, gold eyes, and is the sweetest cat ever. His name is taken from Hamlet.

| Profile and Skills
|
|
Profile: Since childhood Tatsuya Sudou has been fascinated by fire; his intelligence gave him a short attention span, and that love of fire gave him the tools he needed to get himself into a whole mess of trouble. His father, the Foreign Minister, has been obliged to sacrifice a great deal to ensure that the Sudou family name remains untarnished despite his son's actions. Unfortunately, this involved committing his son to a mental institution for a time, where the voices he's heard since childhood grew more and more prominent in his mind. Now that he's out Tatsuya's been given a position in the NWO, where he resents the amount of supervision he's been placed under. His fingers itch to set the world ablaze the way his prophecy foretells but, for now, he's content to strut on his stage and do the Voices' will.

Tatsuya has a lot of Fire. This should surprise no one. (More forthcoming.)
Special: Pyromania - Tatsuya holds forth his hand and, through a combination of his occult talent and the raw force of his supreme will, ignites the very oxygen around him in a conflagration that consumes all it touches.

| Persona Information and Resonance
|
"I am thou...thou art I. I am Hephaestus, the Lamed Smith...I shall teach you how to burn away the dross of your soul and forge it until what is left is a perfect weapon, a wonder of Creation..."
Hephaestus is the Greek god of the Forge, the earlier counterpart to the Roman Vulcanus. In an attempt to one-up Zeus for the birth of Athena, Hera conceived and bore Hephaestus by herself. From here the story diverges; one version has Hera casting her son from Mount Olympus for his ugliness, whereupon he was lamed when he hit the ground at the foot of the mountain; the second version holds that the one who cast him from on high was actually Zeus, who was angered by his wife's actions and by the boy's attempt to defend his mother from her husband's wrath. He was accepted back into the ranks at some point, of course, at which point he began to forge wonders for gods and mortals alike -- notably, the armor and shield of Achilles.
Resonance:
- SENSE: A metered pounding like a hammer striking against an anvil (or the beat of a lion's heart) and intense heat, both of which are tinged by a dull ache, like that of a chronic injury.
- SOUND: The striking of iron against iron, the roar of flame, and the soft growl of a great cat.
- SMELL: Hot iron and a lion's musk.
