This is "Em-7," one of XZ-500's most notorious Pyro warriors. That distinctive orange-core reactor in his chest is a custom NEU design that runs at 3000°C – hot enough to melt standard armor on contact. The crackling patterns across his skull aren't decorative; they're actually thermal vents that release excess heat when his internal temperature exceeds critical levels. Most fascinating is his heavily modified VI Corp breathing apparatus, which doesn't filter smoke – it weaponizes it, compressing and superheating the surrounding air into plasma.
