Inferno is the Italian and Portuguese translation for "hell." It can also be a destructive fire that threatens human life, animal life, health or property.
Its Devi Summoner design depicts it as a Buddhist monk. It is possible that this design was inspired by Thích Quảng Đức and other Vietnamese monks who self-immolated by fire as a protest.
"A ghost who sends its hatred from the flames. Its name comes from the Italian word for Hell. It was given its name because its burning figure reminded people of the flames of Hell. There were those who stepped into the flames willingly... what kind of grudge did they have?"
