Baiheng
First mentioned in history "Transcendental Quintet". It is unknown whether he will become a playable character, as he has a “completed” story. However, the opposite cannot be said either, since Luofu Xianzhou's story campaign is not fully fleshed out.
Hua
Marshal Hua has held the highest position in the Xianzhou Alliance for hundreds of years, and is the commander-in-chief of the Cloud Knights and the Arbiter General of each individual vessel. It was thanks to her decision that Jing Yuan took his position, and Feixiao and Huaiyan came to Lofu Xianzhou to investigate the Ambrosia Tree crisis. She has never appeared in person in the game's story, and has only been mentioned a few times in reading items found on Lofu.
Yaoguang
Arbiter General Yuque Xianzhou and the Alliance's chief fortune teller, known by the title "Insightful Strategist." She has no combat skills and prefers to "stay in the shadows" of what is happening on other ships, working directly only with Marshal Hua. Her first appearance was in the mission chain of the continuation of Exploration "Duel under the azure sky 2", during which the general ed the other arbitrators on Lofu through the ancient bell system and told more about the past interrogations of Lochi and Jingliu.
Xuanquan
"Wave Calmer" and Arbiter General of Fanghu, one of the Alliance Fleet vessels. There is very little information about the Arbiter in the game. The only person who has described the general at all is Feixiao. "Falcon Might" considers her colleague to be much tougher and more decisive than her, and almost equal in strength. Lingsha believes that Xuanquan could easily gain authority among the Vidyadhara living on Lofu Xianzhou.
Yuu
"Unwavering Justice" Xuling Xianzhou is the most mysterious Arbiter General in existence. There is no information about the hero in the game files, including his gender. The only mention of the Arbiter is Feixiao's words: in her opinion, if Yuwu had been sent to interrogate Jing Yuan instead of her, the conversation between the generals could have been much harsher.
Mr. River
A well-known director of Penakonia, who has created many brilliant films popular far beyond the planet of celebrations. He became one of the characters in the storyline "Banana Mayhem: Battles Without Ninjas and Mercy", but was not released as a playable item in the Penakonia patches. According to information from insiders, its release should be expected only after the release of Amphoreus.
- Rarity: 4⭐
- Path: Memory/Hunting
- Element: unknown
A separate article presents all information about Mr. Reke, currently known.
Stephen Lloyd
One of the creators of the Virtual Universe and a member Societies of geniuses number 84, according to an insider Sun, can become a game character. Presumably, "Weirdo" Steven is a teenager and has an average male model. It is the young man who is responsible for filling the Virtual Universe with entertainment that could make the age more interesting and attractive to players.
Elio
At the same time as Lloyd, it became known about the boy Elio, a member of a criminal organization "Stellaron Hunters" and a mysterious fortune teller, according to whose scenarios all the actions of the game take place. For now, he has a model of a little boy, in which he will presumably appear only in the plot. Later, he will be modified for release as a playable hero.
Duke of Infernal Fire
Head of the Everburning Mansion and leader of the organization "The Crown of Mortal and Divine"However, the chances of the hero becoming a game character are slim: presumably, the character died at the hands of Acheron during the main storyline of Penakonia.
Katherine
"Bound" Katerina is one of the Duke's three "daughters" shown in the Annihilation Gang trailer. The former prisoner was supposed to target Aventurine during the Penakonia storyline, but was banished by Acheron after the attack on the Everburning Mansion. There's a chance the fire demon may reappear and "reform" in some way.
Constance
Another "daughter" of the Duke, who survived the Emanator's attack on the Everburning Mansion. The girl, unlike her "colleagues", cooperated with the game characters during the planet's plot: the demon ed the Black Swan and helped her uncover Acheron's true identity. Based on her motives, the girl has a high chance of ever becoming playable.
Dubra
The most mysterious of the Duke's "daughters" appeared in the organization's trailer as a shadowy, shadowy figure in a dark cloak, controlling a puppet. Like the other children of Inferno, she was able to escape death in the mansion. Playable puppets are not a new gaming phenomenon. It is likely that Dubra will only exist as a puppet herself, like Gert, and the shadowy figure will be part of the combat animations.
Akash
The Duke's only "son" along with his sisters managed to avoid their father's fate and safely escaped from the destroyed mansion. The musician's target on Penakonia was supposed to be Zaryanka, but the original plan was destroyed by Acheron. Little is known about the man, however, like other of the faction, he may become playable in the future.
