- Isaac to Fred and Ember.

Isaac Scorch is the eldest child of Abraham and Rouge Scorch and the eldest adopted child of Mason and Evie Ignis. He is a graduate of Haven Academy similar to his parents. He graduated with his teammates, Roz Quarzo, Bazaar Hiltzaile, and Elsa Inverno. Isaac was also the apprentice of Qrow Branwen and as such was trained by him specifically at Haven and afterwards.

Following Roz's joining of the Lower Cabal, Isaac joined Qrow and Ozpin to fight against Salem and the Lower Cabal. He was then joined by Bazaar and Elsa and serval others and formed his own off shoot of Ozpin's group. His weapon of choice is a sword that can become a shotgun called "Lamb to the Slaughter".

Early Years
Isaac was born in the town of Gōrudo to Abraham and Rouge Scorch, ex-members of Team AMER from Haven Academy. Isaac grew up with a normal childhood until he decided to become a huntsman like his partners. So he began to train in secret for a month until his father discovered what was happening and so, decided to train Isaac in sword combat and aura. Soon, Isaac discovered his semblance and progressed his training. When he was eight, his mother gave birth to another child, whom they named Frederic.

Isaac took a quick liking to Fred and even gave him the nickname of Fred while his partners still called him Frederic. Isaac's training continued and he soon entered Sanctum Academy to continue his training from his father. One day his class went on a overnight field trip to the north regions of Anima. When this happened, a fire struck his home town and killed his parents. Though he was saddened, he was adopted with his brother by family friends, the Ignis Family.

Isaac was there to comfort Fred from his despair of the deaths of his parents and regularly looked out for him. While he was at Sanctum, Isaac met Roz Quarzo and saved her from bullies who discriminated against her. Isaac and Roz grew a good friendship and attended Haven together.

Haven Academy
Similar to Team AMER, little is known about the team's time at Haven. However, Roz and Isaac became partners at the academy and Roz went to become their team leader of Team RBIE with Bazaar Hiltzaile and Elsa Inverno. The four seemed to form a stable friendship with one another and soon, Roz entered a romantic relationship with Isaac. During his time at Haven, he met his father's old friend, Qrow Branwen who began to train Isaac in all he knew of Remnant, forming a strong mentor-apprentice relationship.

Following their graduation, Roz joined the White Fang with Isaac supporting her through the transition. However, Roz suddenly broke up with Isaac leaving him in a emotional state of sadness and depression. Bazaar was able to comfort Isaac and the two were called to Beacon by Qrow and Ozpin. When they arrived, they were greeted by Ironwood and Elsa. The three were then briefed on the Lower Cabal and Salem, and Isaac learned that Onyx killed his parents.

Isaac agreed to join the group with Bazaar and Elsa joining him as well. He then formed a sub-group of Ozpin's and began to look over Fred believing Roz would use him for taking down Isaac.

Life as a Huntsman
Isaac took on several missions around Remnant and only stayed in a few places for a short period of time, and normally investigated acts committed by the Lower Cabal, or Salem herself. As such, he wasn't around his family following his graduation.

Following Fred's acceptance into Beacon with Ember, Isaac went to Vale to witness their initiation, which he missed, but he did see Fred become leader of his team. He later met with Bazaar and watched his brother's fight against Nolan Runderen and Shadow Ombre. Bazaar expressed concern that what awaited Fred and his team, they were not prepared for at all. Bazaar then returns to hunt down and gather more information about Roz and her whereabouts with the White Fang. He then meets with Isaac yet again during the Beacon Dance where he again expressed concern for Fred's safety with Isaac telling him to relax and enjoy himself for the night.

During Team FLME's mission to the board of Vale the team enters a bond hunt. When Fred is knocked out and almost killed, Isaac comes in and saves him by blocking both Lavender's and Nolan's attacks and using his semblance to scare them off. Before Fred awakes, he jumps away before his brother can see you saved him.

Vytal Festival Tournament
As the Vytal Festival Tournament began, Isaac went to Vale to meet with Qrow and his brothers. Isaac went up through the main avenue and destroyed some Atlas drones of his ex-teammate's entourage. This earns the attention of Elsa. Though Leia comes to her defense, Isaac simply pushes her out of the way and continues to verbally attack Elsa. He then insults Ironwood and openly states via screaming that Ironwood was trying to conquer Vale.

Elsa then draws her sword and attacks Isaac, who dodges all her swings and stabs. He then bows before her and she makes downward strike is blocked by the base of Isaac's sword, right before he tosses it in the air and proceeds to kick her in the face and catches his sword and goes on the offensive. Isaac then begins to push Elsa back with her retaliating only in slight strikes that do almost nothing to stop Isaac. He then launches Elsa behind a pole and throws his sword cutting the pole in two. Elsa then blindly launches at Isaac who dodges her strike, mocking winks at her and throws her back on the avenue with a kick to her back.

Isaac then landed on his sword and shot the ground to propel himself back to Elsa whom he launched up and onto a railing. He then fired at Elsa who jumped and dodged the blast onto a wall. The two the shared a smile with one another before Elsa ran up the wall and Isaac opened fire at her. Isaac then jumped onto Beacon's archway and chased after her, firing blast from his shotgun. He then used his semblance to launch lava at Elsa who proceeded to freeze. Isaac then searches for Elsa as he sees a cloud of white steam consume her, narrowing his gaze. Suddenly, Elsa flies towards him, with Isaac pulling up his hair and smiling at her. He blocks the attack and the two get launched down onto the ground where they resume their fight. Elsa then uses her semblance and pushes Isaac back and then unleashes a flurry of ice at him, with Isaac only slightly blocking the attack.

Isaac then launches a wave of fire at Elsa, forcing her to stop the attack. Elsa then prepares to strike with her semblance with Isaac doing the same. He then taunts her before she strikes, however before their blades could met, they are stopped by Qrow and Ironwood. Fred came and greeted his brother and jumping on his back. Fred was obviously excited to see his brother and vis versa until Isaac was called by Qrow and Ozpin for a personal word. When he arrived at Ozpin's office, Isaac relayed Bazaar's information he was given to the group and was informed about the infiltrator at Beacon.

Once Isaac and Elsa made their way to Beacon, Isaac called in a meeting for the three to update everyone on the current status of the world. Bazaar stated the latest intel he had on Roz and that her forces moved to Forever Fall and the Emerald Forest. When Elsa suggested an attack on the forest with Atlas' military as well as her specialist division. Bazaar and Isaac voted against this act and agreed with Isaac for staying to their plan rather than attack in full force.Bazaar and Isaac continued to look over Fred and Ember throughout the Tournament and Bazaar became more confident in Fred's abilities.

Later during the tournament, Bazaar joins Isaac and Elsa in stoping Nolan Runderen and Lavender Kristal from breaking out Shadow Ombre from prison. While Isaac dealt with Shadow, and Elsa, Lavender, Bazaar took on Nolan. Shadow quickly jumped over Isaac and the two began to duel with the sword Shadow was given by Nolan. Isaac tried to punch Shadow and kick him, but the general moved swiftly and avoided his attacks. When they pushed one another away, Isaac opened fire at Shadow who avoided the blast or out them in two. When their swords clashed again, Isaac launched Shadow to wall, but he used it to attack Isaac and launched him through several feet of concert.

Isaac was then pulled back by Nolan and slammed into the ground. Shadow then kicked Isaac away back into another wall with Lavender then kicking him in the face. Nolan then punched Isaac a few times with Shadow then backhanding Isaac knocking him out.

The following day, Isaac, Fred and Ember began playing games in the FLME dorm and Isaac recounting his previous mission. Though Isaac bet Ember, he lost to Fred as he finished his story. Isaac the told his younger brothers that to never stop trying and never stop pushing. He also told Fred that their parents would be so proud and overwhelmed with joy to see what they both have done, especially Fred.

The following night, Isaac witnessed Fred's emotional breakdown after his talk with Solomon Noir. He slightly repeated to himself that his parents would be proud of Fred for what he has done and left for the night.

Battle of Beacon
When Beacon was attacked, Bazaar, Elsa and Isaac worked in the defense of the school from the Grimm. Bazaar was the first of the three to attack the Grimm with several arrows and sword slashes through the Grimm and allowed Isaac to finish off the group. Following the pack of Grimm died, Isaac ordered Bazaar to back his way to the north to defend it and Elsa to the south. He then continued with the already existing Grimm pack.

During the battle, he catches eye of his former partner Roz and addresses her as Kitty, her old nickname. She then begins a monologue of how Onyx was right about Ozpin and Isaac as both displayed great arrogance and thus wishes them to die for their failures.

The two then engage one another in a impressive display of swordsmanship with each blocking or parrying one another's strikes. Roz then knocks Isaac into a tree, which he effortlessly cuts down and kicks it towards her, which she jumps, but is then thrown into a wall by Isaac resulting her in crashing through it. Isaac then proceeds to attack her which she uses her semblance to knock him off guard.

Later on, Isaac gets the jump on Roz with a surprised ariel attack, but she is able to avoid and block his strikes. The two continue their duel with one another with Isaac pleading to Roz to return to ally herself with them and with him again. Roz refuses and states that the Roz Isaac loved was dead and this was the true Roz forever. Isaac then swore to avenge Roz and thus attempted to kill her. As the two clashed for the final time, Isaac apologized to Roz who returned with a rejection and thus Isaac stated he meant it for the one he loved and thus used his remaining strength to launch Roz into the city of Vale.

Isaac was then found by his brother and Violet Eclairage. They propped him up with themselves and carried him to the docks. However, once they reached the tower again, they were engulfed in a white light. Isaac used his remaining strength to get the two back to Vale where he returned Violet to her team and Fred to the Burns Family Home. He then left with Bazaar and Elsa to find Qrow.

Post-Fall of Beacon
Following the Battle of Beacon, Isaac went to Menagerie following Fred and FLME and keeping them safe along the path. He witnessed FLME's defense of Fumi Cove with March Fumi.

Psych-Interviews
"Relax Bazaar he'll be fine. It's Fred we're talking about, not some idiot."

- Isaac Scorch

Personality
Isaac Scorch is a rude, blunt, cynical, sometimes crass, yet cool-headed and nonchalant individual. He is regularly seen being disrespecting the Atlas Military, but it was later revealed to be a ruse as he restates that he has a large amount of respect for the military. He also shows levels of cockiness when he taunts Elsa into attacking him and is later seen when facing Grimm during the Battle of Beacon. His also goes into were he tells his brothers and their teammate about his last mission where he mentions a bartender's leggings earning him a "You're brother is the worst" comment from their teammate.

However, behind is childish nature lies a veteran huntsman and an emotionally broken man trying to find peace without killing anyone he loves. He is intelligent and does not like when innocents die or are targeted in an attack, nor does he believe in an all out war style of dealing with issues if it means others will die. He has stated that his time in the field has harden him and the information of Salem and Onyx have also lead Isaac into a secretive lifestyle. This makes him not interact with his younger brother that much due to the information he knows about the world.

Because of this secretive lifestyle, this has lead Isaac into caring deeply for those he loves, wether enemy or friend as he refuses to kill Roz. He also highly protective of his brother as he regularly looks over him from afar and has saved Fred once from death during his mission to stop the White Fang's bomb. He also watches over Fred constantly and follows both he and his team after the Fall of Beacon all the way to Menagerie.

Isaac is a strong believer of redemption and believes that he can convince Roz to abandon the Lower Cabal and join him to defeat this evil so they can live in peace. However, this effort has proven fruitless and void.

Physical Appearance
Isaac is a tall man with brown hair and light brown eyes, similar to his mother. He has brown hair with a pale complexion and broad upper body. He also has a small beard around his chin and upper lip. He wears a black shirt with a large brown collar around it. He wears two pieces of breast armor under his light orange robes which go up to form two long sleeves. He wears a bright orange sleeveless jacket with a lowered hood.

Weapon
Isaac's weapon of choice is a three bladed sword called Lamb to the Slaughter which can also become a shotgun. Isaac mainly uses his sword for basic combat and displays great swordsmanship with it. The sword is sturdy enough to slash through Grimm, steel and other solid masses with ease and can generate a shockwave with enough force. His shotgun fires similar rounds as Qrow's and can easily break through walls.

Fighting Style
Isaac's fighting style is similar's to his brothers as he also uses kicks in his combat. He also is very acrobatic as he does several flips while fighting Elsa Inverno and moving his sword like a sign from a real world street performer.

He is also strong enough to jump great distances and he can kick his sword into the ground to generate a shockwave.

Semblance
Isaac's semblance is nicknamed Lava Step as it grants him the ability to heat up objects making them almost as lava. He has also create lava with a single step as seen when he saves Fred from Nolan. He can also control the lava he generates by launching it upward or side ways. This is not pyrokinesis as he cannot control heat, just lava that he can create. It is unknown how much energy is drained from his semblance, but based upon how much he uses it, it is unlikely it uses a lot.
