The Nameless One is the secondary antagonist of Minecraft Dungeons and a supporting character in its prequel novel, Minecraft Dungeons: The Rise of the Arch-Illager.
Biography[]
Past[]
The Nameless One was once the ruler of a vast, ancient, and nameless kingdom. The enchanters of this kingdom practiced necromancy (which summons the dead instead of raising them unlike other pieces of media featuring necromancy). The craftsmen of the kingdom built the desert temple where the Nameless One now resides. The desert temple was guarded by the Nameless One's vanguard (the personal guard of the Nameless One), numerous hostile mobs (especially the undead), and necromancers. The Nameless One posseses a magical staff which has the power to summon entire waves of undead. The Nameless One and The Arch-Illager formed an alliance in the prequel novel, Minecraft Dungeons: The Rise of the Arch-Illager.
Minecraft Dungeons[]
The previously mentioned alliance would later be broken in Minecraft Dungeons; however, it remains unclear who broke the alliance first, though it can be presumed that the Illagers were the ones who broke off the alliance. The Illagers started searching for anything remotely powerful in the desert temple where the Nameless One resides, particularly the Nameless One's magical staff. The hero was sent to destroy the staff before it could get into the hands of The Arch-Illager, after fighting through hordes of hostile mobs, and getting through traps, the hero finally arrived at the Nameless One's throne room, where the Nameless One can be seen sleeping while the sleeping vanguard surrounding them are bowing down to the Nameless One. When the hero attempts to fetch the staff, the Nameless One and their vanguard awakes, and a battle ensues. After the battle ends and the Nameless One is defeated, their staff is destroyed, preventing the Illagers from obtaining the power they were seeking.
Trivia[]
- Because of their ability to summon undead mobs, some fans have speculated that the existence of the undead in the Overworld is the Nameless One's doing.
- Unlike most necromancers in popular culture, the Nameless One and their necromancers summon the undead instead of resurrecting already dead beings.
