Here you go. Joshua Graham from Fallout: New Vegas. He was a general who was covered with pitch, set on fire, and thrown into the Grand Canyon as an example that failure in battle was not to be accepted. He did not die, however, and instead became a figure of legend and fear.
"I survived because the fire inside burned brighter than the fire around me. I fell down into that dark chasm, but the flame burned on and on."
"I have been baptized twice, once in water, once in flame. I will carry the fire of the holy spirit inside until I stand before my Lord for judgement."
"Sometimes I tell myself these wildfires never stop burning, but I’m the one who starts them. Not God. Not them. I can always see it in my mind. The warmth, the heat. It will always be a part of me."
