| - He is implied to be a homosexual. Hints as to this were cut from the American release of the series, including an interpretive dance in Hermits and Heroes. King Allfire and Sir Loungelot do not seem to like him very much, unlike Griddle and Flame. Blaze often trims trees or hedges to resemble him. He often says "oh poo" when something bad or confusing occurs. He says it more often in Season 2. In Newt for a Day, Blaze and Griddle both loved Pierre Un Deux Trois's designs, unlike Allfire and Flame. The episode Hermits and Heroes seems to center on Blaze. When Flame convinced Flicker to show the knights his invention, the switch armory sword, Blaze was the only one who liked it, Sir Hotbreath arguing with him over what type of sword knights should use and how trees should be trimmed. Loungelot insulted him, and as a result he left Camelhot to become a hermit. When Flicker and Flame tried to get him back, he refused due to the knights hating him, so they decided to stage Flame's kidnapping so that Blaze could rescue her and win back the knights' respect. However, Count Geoffrey and Evil Knights 1, 2, and 3 planned a real kidnapping, and captured Flame along with Flicker and Blaze. But using the switch armory sword, Blaze was able to get free and singlehandedly defeat the Evil Knights, hitting Geoffrey in the head with the switch armory sword's miniature catapult, causing Geoffrey to run away. Afterward, he saved the other knights from a bog beast at the hermit hideaway (whom the old hermit Herman told them had kidnapped Flame in an attempt to get rid of him), and returned to Camelhot as the hero. In Sir Hare, Blaze painted the castle a bright red.
