THEY often appear as a human male with dark skin and golden eyes.
Nanook (Inuktitut: ᓇᓄᖅ nanoq), also known as The Blemished One, is an Aeon in Honkai: Star Rail representing Destruction, and the leader of the Antimatter Legion. THEY are the overall main antagonist of the game.
Description[]
To correct this mistake and to clean up this tainted universe, Nanook became the avatar of entropy.
Profile[]
Witnessing the destruction in Adlivun as the world was marred by The Swarm and the Mechanical Empire during their birth, Nanook sees the creation of the universe as a mistake and seeks to destroy everything. After ascending to Aeonhood, Nanook allegedly ignited THEIR home world.[4]
Despite being the most recently ascended Aeon, Nanook and THEIR minions may already be considered the greatest menace in all the galaxy.[5]
Appearance[]
Nanook often appears as a human male that has long white hair, with long braids, brown skin and golden eyes. A giant scar, along with multiple smaller scars, is seen on THEIR chest as golden ichor seeps out. A quarter of THEIR arms are floating, and half of THEIR lower body is golden flames and black smoke, indicating THEIR path of destruction.
History[]
Swarm Disaster[]
Nanook is the youngest Aeon and did not exist at the time of the Swarm Disaster.[4]
Adlivun[]
Nanook came from a star system called Adlivun. Adlivun was a world marred by the Emperor's War and was also in the path of the Swarm. Akivili visited Adlivun when it was still fighting a war with the descendants of the Imperator Insectorum. Adlivun was destroyed and Nanook probably ignited it THEMSELF.[4]
Lord Ravagers[]
Lord Ravagers are Emanators of Destruction recruited by Nanook from the worlds they have destroyed. They are remade by Nanook in the world of the Warforge and each represent a different aspect of Destruction.[6] There are seven Lord Ravagers, five of whom have known names: Phantylia,[7] Zephyro, Celenova, Irontomb, Sun Devourer.[8] There also used to be a Lord Ravager called Zulo who was replaced by Celenova.[9]
Fetora[]
Nanook destroyed a White Star named Fetora. The flames of the White Star coalesced with the power of Destruction to give birth to plasmic lifeforms. The fire demon Ifrit also known as Duke Inferno was born and has been obsessed with destruction and slaughter since birth. The embers left behind from the star's destruction were clasped in Ifrit's own hands, molded into the shape of Fetora's crown, and worn to this day.[10] Ifrit would later go on to lead the Ever-Flame Mansion, a subgroup of the Annihilation Gang.[11]
Present[]
During the Antimatter Legion's attack on the Herta Space Station, when the Trailblazer protects March 7th from the attack of Doomsday Beast, Nanook gazes at the Trailblazer.[12]
After Fu Xuan interrogated Kafka aboard the Xianzhou Luofu, Kafka revealed to the Trailblazer that they will eventually face Nanook in the best and the worst cases. When that time comes, the Trailblazer will need all the help they can get, and it will be a brutal struggle of Aeonic proportions. In the vast majority of futures, that's when destiny ends. But if they follow Elio's plan, there may be a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Kafka suggests that even Aeons can be killed.[13]
Simulated Universe[]
When Nanook appears in the Simulated Universe, the following sound will play:
Dev Log1[]
...Frankly, I still don't understand why Nanook the Destruction was born. Terminus the Finality was already traversing the universe before Nanook appeared. Is Destruction not included in Finality? We know so little about the secrets of the Paths. From the example of Xipe and Ena, we know that Paths with similar concepts can collide with each other, such as Order being included in Harmony resulting in Xipe absorbing Ena when the former ascended. It feels rather like survival of the fittest. However, there are examples of similar Paths co-existing for different lengths of time, such as Preservation with Remembrance and Abundance with Propagation. I guess perhaps our mortal conclusions about the Paths are still not at a high enough level. The true meaning of a Path cannot be completely expressed with just one word, or perhaps there are even deeper secrets regarding the Paths and the Aeons...
Dev Log2[]
...Nanook came from a star system called Adlivun, which has now been "destroyed." The birth of an Aeon was often accompanied by an anomaly that shook the universe, and Nanook had probably ignited their own home. I got some information from the Astral Express on how Adlivun used to be. It was a tragic world completely marred by the Emperor's War, and was unfortunate enough to be on the path of the Swarm's march. When Akivili arrived there, Adlivun was still fighting a tense and endless war with the remaining descendants of the Imperator Insectorum. What kind of an Aeon would such a planet create? It is therefore not hard to imagine its eventual fate...
