Ok, so here it goes. I think something I wondered about was confirmed in the last episode. Kate's little speech about OBSIDIAN. What if Parrish is Obsidian. I know of a few characters who have that quality. But obsidian itself is made of lava, making him protected from fire. It increases strength and stamina- as he has an ability to strengthen others like Chris when he was stuck with rebar. As  well as having his own strength. Also obsidian has psychic connections involved with healing and mirrors. The smoky mirror is made of obsidian and was used for channeling, divination, and has properties of prismatic light. It would tie him to the whole meso-american myths which might continue in Season 5 with the Desert Wolf. When he emerged from the flames, he looked black- it could be soot, but right away I thought...obsidian!
