Firestarter

A Firestarter is a magical creature with a particular power of pyrokinesis. When their emotions are heightened, they can concentrate and create fire or cause things to burst into flames.

Not particularly common, they can be good or evil. Because of their advanced power, they are tracked by bounty hunters, to be given to and trained by a powerful upper level demon called Ludlow, who will train them to become bodyguards to the Source.

The power usually manifests in adolescence, in the form of headaches when they become particularly emotional, that result in things bursting into flames. ("Lost and Bound")
