The Fire Masters are a group of roving mythical spirit catchers who have operated since ancient times.[1][2]
History[]
Before Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire[]
4000 years ago, around 1976 BCE, the Fire Masters shattered the Death Chill then used fire and brass to trap Garraka inside an orb. In mid-July 1904, a lone female Pakistani Fire Master resealed Garraka in the orb before he could be accidentally freed during a gathering at the Manhattan Adventurers Society in New York City. Hook & Ladder Company 8, who were called to the Society headquarters, entered the frozen room and noticed her then slowly approached her. She suddenly opened her eyes and startled them as the orb closed up. The Fire Masters passed their armor, items, knowledge, and the orb to their progeny and to their progeny and so on. The orb stayed in the possession of the female Pakistani Fire Master in New York. She kept it in a secret brass room behind her pantry.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire History[]
The woman's grandson, Nadeem Razmaadi, found the secret room by accident and sold some of the items and orb for quick cash to Ray Stantz in the summer of 2024 unaware of their significance or true purpose. Dr. Hubert Wartzki told Ray Stantz, Phoebe Spengler, and Podcast about the story of Garraka and the Fire Masters recorded in stone carvings documented in Explorations To The Indus Valley.
