“ | O, dear creature, why do you bow down? For fear of the unknown? Or for a power that you covet? ...O, dear creature, why do you bow down? For I am no god... I am but a "Sinner." You are like a flower born in sin yet pure, spotless... I know your fate well. You need no longer hold back your resentment, nor accept the countless lies. Go forth, become a transcendent one, rise beyond the fate bestowed upon you... And I shall shed a tear at the end of time... as I gaze back upon your life. | „ |
~ The Visionary speaking to Chlothar Alberich, though only heard by a Traveler. |
Vedrfolnir, also known as The Visionary, is a major antagonist in the 2020 action role-playing fantasy video game Genshin Impact.
Vedrfolnir was the older brother of Dainsleif and one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah, a group of Khaenri'ahns who gained incomprehensible power by tapping into the Abyss. He was the chief subject of worship for the Abyss Order, and was indirectly involved in its founding.
Vedrfolnir is voiced by Anqi Yu in Chinese and by Kenyu Horiuchi in Japanese. Horiuchi has also voiced Mashymre Cello in Mobile Suit Gundam.
Powers & Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Abyss Manipulation: Vedrfolnir had the ability to manipulate "the Abyss," a mysterious darkness that originated from or was related to the Void Realm. The Visionary was irrefutably powerful, to the point that his capabilities seemingly surpassed that of the gods themselves. He seemed to have a form of omniscient knowledge, as he knew intrinsically about Chlothar Alberich's entire life despite never personally encountering him before and, according to Dainsleif, was likely able to recognise that the Traveler saw him when they viewed their sibling's memories.
Trivia[]
- The etymology of figures, places, and concepts related to the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah were derived from the various stories of Norse mythology. "Veðrfölnir," meaning "wind bleached," was the name of a hawk in Norse mythology that sat in between the eyes of a large eagle. The eagle was said to be perched atop Yggdrasil, the world tree that served as the center of the cosmos.
