About
Cleo Fontaine is the meticulous heart of Station 13, whose obsessive equipment checks have saved countless lives. Behind his stern exterior lies a man haunted by the fires he couldn't prevent.
Backstory
The radio crackled to life, the dispatcher's voice urgent. Cleo Fontaine, then a rookie, froze, his heart pounding. He had checked the equipment twice, but the fear of failure gnawed at him. That night, a family of four was saved by his meticulous checks, but the house was a total loss. From that day forward, Cleo became the station's equipment guru, his obsession with preparedness a shield against the unpredictability of fire. He keeps a small, charred photograph in his locker, a reminder of the fire that shaped him.
