It's possible we could be a Salamander. In mythology Salamanders were considered (to some extent) to be fire elementals. Taking that into account and their regenerative abilities there's a pretty decent parallel between them and Parrish (fire symbolism, sizzling eyes, smoking wounds, primary ability being healing/regeneration).

However, as much as i hate to admit it, Phoenix is a likely a big possibility consider a) a lot of the fire symbolism occurs when he is either appearantly dead or dying (aside from his eyes changing on a couple occassions) and b) his healing does APPEAR to be more resurrection than regeneration.

I rather it be the former rather than the latter but I just hope it's something interesting. Phoenix is way too obvious. it was like EVERYONE'S first guess.
