Blaze is the main protagonist in Chapter One of Season One of Mech Mice Tactics. Fearless and driven, Blaze loves nothing better than diving headfirst into battle. No matter what the odds, he's always ready to pick a fight. Brash, impulsive, and a bit of a braggart, he nonetheless has a short fuse- he can dish out the snark, but can rarely take it. He and Flank pursue several objectives in the desert such as traveling to Tumbleweed and chasing Queen Termina. Blaze is the first playable character in Mech Mice Tactics during both the Beta Test and the official release. He, along with many other characters, have gone through multiple changes since then.
