The Fire Bringer (炎の運び手, Honō no Hakobi-te), localised in Suikoden II as the Keepers of the Flame, were a bandit and resistance group which struggled against invasion by the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia on two separate occasions.

The Fire Bringer were originally a small band of thieves, led by the Flame Champion that operated in the Grassland during the 420s. When this group began to resist the Harmonian invasion of the Grassland, other groups and rebels began to gather under its banner.

Groups of bandits that plague the Grassland since have occasionally taken up the name of the Fire Bringer but these groups of thieves are generally considered as fakes, unworthy of the title.
