Biography
Afterglow was a member of the Landlit Party, a secret group of anthropomorphic candles whose goal was to strive for world peace. For this group, it was considered a crime if one candle were to attack a threatening chompy. One day, however, a cyclops mammoth had appeared out of nowhere, completely rampaging the campsite. While the other members of the Landlit Party was running away, Afterglow felt that he couldn't stand by idly and watched the entire place be wrecked. With a burning desire (terrible pun intended) to rid the camp of the mammoth, Afterglow charged at him, delivering multiple fire attacks and eventually defeating the beast. When the founder had gazed upon the fiery remains that the brave candle had left behind, he immediately removed Afterglow from the Landlit Party, without even a small indication of his appreciation. Word had quickly spread of his heroic actions, and when Lucas had heard of him, he asked Afterglow to join the Skylanders.

Stats
The candle's overall stats are decent, but are a little below average. Afterglow's defense number is the lowest of all of his stats, as he relies on his lit wicks shielding him, but it never works. For his agility, he travels around using a candle holder, but has no way of boosting his speed. His luck is low, due to his backstory, and how he remembers it. As for his strength, it's higher than average.
