NPC is The Salamander
The son of a widowed Russian mob boss, Dmitri Lynns grew up unaware of his father's connections, immersing himself instead in the upper class areas of New Gotham City. He developed a love of theater from an early age, showing natural skill at both pyrotechnics, and acting. After his father was taken out as part of a Russian mob hit however, his life changed forever. He was sent to an orphanage, while the executor of his father's estate cleaned out his fathers funds. Leaving him with nothing but anger, and rage.
Enraged, and made powerless by these acts, the young Lynn's decided to take out his revenge on the whole world, becoming the Salamander, a criminal arsonist who uses his skill at deception to steal money from the wealthy, and then sets fire to their property, eliminating all evidence of his involvement. He has tangled with the Dark Claw several times, Starting with the destruction of the stately Wayne Manor, Logan Wayne's ancestral home. Though he has been imprisoned numerous times, no prison seems capable of holding this formidable foe.
Salamander wears a Nomax weave battle suit, that is immune to flame, and has implanted LCD technology, that grants it the chameleon like ability to blend into the background. He carries a high powered flame thrower, and a variety of other devices useful in arson, as well as a belt capable of creating complex holographic disguises. Dmitri himself is a master actor, and highly skilled at make up, a skill that has come in handy many times in gaining access to targets. One of his more notable disguises was when he impersonated Dark Claw himself in Sleuth Comics #113, nearly turning the whole city against the Clawed Crusader.
