History[]
A major Honkai incident broke out in Manila in 2015. Chen Tianwu was separated from his sister in the resulting chaos. He was rescued from a rubble by the Valkyrie Ana Schariac with whom he made a promise to get out safely out of the city-turned-warzone. He was given one of Ana's pendants as a keepsake until they meet again.
The two reunited sometime afterward. During their short reunion, Chen showed a picture of his sister to Ana and explained he's still looking for her. Unexplainably, Ana hurriedly left him after that, saying he can keep the pendant. He then proceeded to get treatment at another city while Ana returned to her duties. Unbeknownst to him, his sister has died before he escaped the city, with Ana being the last witness to see his sister alive yet running away in fear instead of helping her.
Due to the treatment he received being insufficient to battle the physical erosion caused by the Honkai, Chen Tianwu searched for other ways to heal himself. He stepped into the dark side of society, and joined the Thousand Fists Organization. The organization would later be destroyed by Raven, but Raven spares him because of her appreciation of his abilities and personality, and introduced him to the World Serpent.
After being promoted to a World Serpent officer, he was given the codename "Owl". With the help of the World Serpent, he prolonged his life by transforming himself into a cyborg using cybernetic implements and served the World Serpent in order to survive.
Story[]
Chapter 18[]
Owl first went to Coral Island to wait for Raven and Mei to capture the Herrscher for Project Stigma. World Serpent followed the signal and discovered the Herrscher of Ice, but she escaped. Later, Owl learned that the Herrscher that manifested this time was his benefactor, Ana Schariac. Later, after Mei and Raven found the Herrscher, Owl joined up with Mei to capture the Herrscher, but he suddenly ambushed Mei by disabling her using the Scepter of Duat and let the Herrscher of Ice escape, then stunned Raven to escape himself. Afterwards, he tried to bring Ana back to her senses, but Mei and Durandal interfered. When Mei fought Ana, Owl chose to protect her with his life, and successfully escaped with Ana when Mei hesitated.
Chapter 19[]
When he died, Owl witnessed the scene of his sister trapped under a pile of rubble, and Ana who had just stood there in shock before running away in Manila in 2015, leaving his sister to slowly die. Shocked and enraged, Owl, who became the Herrscher of Stars, then gave his core to Ana Schariac and fused with her after seeming to come to terms with it, which caused the Herrscher of Ice to transform into the Herrscher of Rimestar, hoping that she can "live on her own".
Powers and Abilities[]
- Cold Resistance: His cybernetic body allows him to withstand extremely low temperatures without much additional help.
- Herrscher of Stars: His abilities are similar to those of the Previous Era's "Herrscher of Earth", that manipulated gravity, but because they are not closely related to the Earth and minerals, he was given the codename "Herrscher of Stars" by Schicksal.
Trivia[]
- He shares the same Chinese voice actor with Dan Heng in Honkai: Star Rail.
