That hair and those glasses made me think of Brian at first, but firelighting guy is too skinny.
Maybe he’s just read all the Steeple comics and decided to style himself after his favourite were-person.
I understand the idea of Steeeple existing as a comic in the Tackleford/ Tredegyn universe is potentially reality breaking. So lets hope firelighting guy is only a single panel cameo and Causality can have a nice sit down and a cup of tea while it enjoys the next few pages.
