| “ | With all due respect, is there anyone in the universe more enlightened than our chair, Qlipoth? Qlipoth acquiesces in all our business decisions, never asking or questioning why. How great a privilege! How great a trust! | „ |
| ~ Oswaldo Schneider. |
Oswaldo Schneider is a major antagonist in Honkai: Star Rail. He is the head of the Marketing Development Department in the Interastral Peace Corporation, the arm of the IPC dedicated to bringing planets under its umbrella for economic purposes. He's a former Nameless, travelling and leaving the Astral Express for yet-unknown reasons.
Personality[]
Much of Schneider's personality is narrated second-hand by his subordinates as well as his enemies. Due to worshipping Qlipoth, the Aeon of Preservation, Schneider desires to spread the Will of Preservation across the universe, no matter the cost involved.
Schneider also has an opportunistic side, despite promising the Avgins assistance during their war against the Katicans, he withdrew the aid, leading to the near eradication of the Avgins.
Background[]
Several years before the events of the game, Schneider traveled on the Astral Express and aided the Nameless in their goals, before subsequently leaving them for unknown reasons.
Later, Schneider joined the IPC as an employee in the Market Department, having a tremendous rise in its ranks to become one of the youngest heads in the IPC.
History[]
Oswaldo was once member of the Nameless who is currently in-service in Interastral Peace Corporation as the head of the Marketing Development Department. Even if he's no longer part of the Nameless, he still believes that he held strongly about the will of Trailblaze despite worshipping Qlipoth, the Preservation with fanaticism. Little did he know, his imperialistic achievements may contradict the path of the Trailblaze, which involves him committing horrific atrocities. When he first took charge as the head of the Marketing Development Department, one of three major issues he addressed was the operation on Sigonia-IV, which had troubled the department for multiple Amber Eras.
Sigonia-IV[]
Sigonia-IV was the Homeworld of Kakavasha, currently known by the Ten-Stonehearts Moniker, "Aventurine". The people of Sigonia-IV, collectively referred as "Sigonians" by Intelligentsia Guild, have fragmented into two clans, Katicans and Avgins, even though they shared the same common language. The Avgins have worshipped their Ethnic Mother Goddess, Fenge Biyos, known as Gaiathra Triclops. The Avgins and Katicans shared a vendetta that they engage in bloody vengeance where the strong thrives, until the IPC came along. In which, the Sigonians were united by the radiance of Qlipoth's Amber, though it doesn't last forever.

Trivia[]
- The Genius Society even created a "Disciple" character in Simulated Universe, based on Oswaldo himself, to mock him, having the character refer to his department as the "Fanaticism Department".
