| - Early Years
St. John Allerdyce was born in Sydney, Australia. Although named St. John , he preferred the name John or Joe. As he got older he learned he could manipulate and control fire, but was unable to create it. Little is known about his past life other than he was a writer and spent most of his time in South East Asia working as a journalist and later attempted a career as an author of Gothic novels. At one point in his life, he befriended a fellow older mutant named Hank McCoy, whom he met while they were on a book conference in Oxford, England. For a short amount of time, Hank also became John's mentor in his literary works, giving him advices on writing his novels.
From time to time, John started to get afraid of humanity itself, after one time he used his powers in order to save someone from a bunch of thugs. Instead of thanking John, the civilian got scared, called him a "freak," and ran away towards a police officer he saw, who was near outside a bar. The police officer charges towards John and points his gun at him, telling him to freeze and calls for backup. John, who was scared, had no choice but to create a cloud of smoke by the fire he was producing so he can get out from the police in time before the rest of the cops could've arrive at the scene. While the scene was happening, a man wearing a hooded coat was watching him from afar, who seemed to be interested and was amazed in what he can do.Joining the Brotherhood
Still a fugitive, John was walking in a snowy forest during winter when he met the mutant who reveals herself to as Mystique, who learned of his mutant powers. As a result, John joined her to Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants under the name of Pyro. From time to time, John became one of the oldest and the most loyal members of the Brotherhood. Unlike most of his teammates who had severely hated the X-Men, John still had some respect for their long-time archenemies, especially for his old friend Beast, who still has respected each other despite, their ideological disagreements.Ultimate War
To be added.Death
During the final battle, Pyro uses all of his efforts to finally destroy the last Sentinels and defeat Mister Sinister, burning him. Sinister seems to be weakened and dying after getting burned by Pyro, but because of his accelerated regenerative healing factor, he easily grabs John and manages absorbs everything from John's body, including his powers and abilities including his life-force, slowly killing him.
His body was founded among other fallen heroes by the Ultimates, specifically the X-Men. His body was later taken by the X-Men due to Magneto's request that he deserved a proper burial, since he died a selfless hero who still had a good heart inside him that caused him to become a hero so young.Legacy
Because of his heroic sacrifice, John was buried along with the former X-Man, Archangel and other fallen mutants who also died during Ultimate War at [[w:c:marvel:Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
