Reri is a key antagonist in the opening storyline of Nod's End inGenshin Impact, one of the five sinners of Kaenri’hah and the lunar avenger, associated with the power of the abyss and wild hunting. In this article, we will tell you everything that is known about its history and origin, key plot events and mythological references, and also discuss whether Roerie can ever become a game character.
Roerie in Genshin Impact
Roeri ( rerir/雷利尔 ) – mortal sin from Kaenri’ah, involved in the fall of the crazy king and leaving his homeland to gain the forces of the abyss. His name is mentioned by Dinsleif in the quest “Fairy Tale at night.” For the first time, the lunar avenger appears its own person in the following plot tasks:
- “Dance of blizzards in Sizu more often”;
- “Elegy of dust and light of the lantern.”Reri is a very tall and muscular man with pale skin, shoulder-length white tousled hair, pink irises and narrow, cat-like black pupils. The face is almost completely hidden by dark bandages, with the exception of the right eye and nose. The sinner's torso, arms and hands (hidden by massive gloves with pointed fingertips) are also bandaged, but the central part of the chest is left bare. On some exposed areas of Reri's body (face, neck and torso) red-pink energy spots are visible.
on top of the bandages, it wears black decorative armor with gold trim, and on the shoulders – a large pointed crimson raincoat, turning into a darker tint with gold and black details, on the front of which two long regiments hang. It has dark gray pants on it, which are also frequently pulled by bandages, a gold belt and tall black reinforced reinforced boots with a gold sole.
Background and plot
the lunar avenger is one of the little-known sinners, whose history will gradually open in future patches of NOD-Krai. Before the destruction of Caanri’ah Roeri, he was an outstanding personality and hero, and later received the title of “Lunar Avenger/Hunter” (Rächer of solnari/猎月人 ), which reflects his unhealthy lunar sisters.
Given that the Caanri’ah civilization opposed the intervention of archons in the fate of people, the purpose of Roerie may be the destruction of the heavenly order and all its representatives, which include lunar lines. The goddesses and their currently living receivers. But this may not be the only motivation.
It is also known that it is he who leads the wild hunting clan, which has become an uncontrolled disaster after the disappearance and destruction of the body of Roeries.
The reason why Reri lost his physical shell and was scattered throughout Nod's Edge lies in the “Reflection of the Moon” – a certain space from which there is no way back. Finding himself in captivity, the sinner was able to preserve the remnants of his essence thanks to merging with the Abyss and the curse of Ronova's immortality. Without consciousness, but driven by an indomitable will, the grains of Reri's essence formed a phantom form, the main purpose of which was to search for the remaining fragments and return the true appearance of the avenger. One of these fragments, the heart, was kept in Fleance's lantern until it was destroyed with the help of the Traveler.
Using disguise skills, Reri pretended to be Gemini and intended to deceive the Traveler in order to take possession of the relic of the Frost Moon Clan (the divine core of Aria, one of the three fallen Moon Goddesses). He also took the form of Fleance to heighten the fears of the residents of Nashtown and push them to activate Aino's cannon, charged with lunar energy. In the plot of patch 6.0 we directly encounter him several times:
- During an attack on Flins ( quest “Once someone hunted the moon” ). After an unsuccessful attempt to take away the heart, the ghostly form of Roeri mentions that there is another way to return it to life-a powerful burst of kovyvyaks;
- during a major battle at the star shallow ( the ash-white order in the fire “), at the end of which Roerie returns the body and 1/10 from the past strength, and also repelled by the past. From the Sandron who came to the rescue.
Having partially achieved his goal, Reri goes to the crash site of the Gemini spaceship, where he meets Varka spying on him.
Facts and mythology
Name Reri (Rerir) He refers us to Scandinavian mythology – it belonged to the son of Siga and the ruler of Hunnaland, who took revenge on the killers of his father. It is known that Rory was a descendant of the Supreme God and died due to illness, and his wife died during childbirth after 6 years of bearing a child born thanks to an apple of fertility granted by the Frigg family pair (Freya), the wife of Odin.
the second part solnari (lunar avenger) can hint at the connection of Roerie with one of the lunar sisters, a sannada (rainbow moon), which, when destroyed, threw its crimson shadow into the sea abyss, after which it hit Caenri’a and became the object of the worship.
here Avenger:
kaenri'ah
Roeri – one of the five” sinners “Kaenri’hah, which has inhuman force, the source of which is rooted in the abyss itself. 
Moon Goddesses
Reri experiences an unnatural, bordering on obsession, fascination with the Moon Goddesses. And although the Sinner rules the Abyss, he managed to adapt to kuuvaki – the primordial energy originating from the Three Moons created by the Nibelung, although both forces are opposed to each other by nature. 
Wild Hunt
Reri's physical shell was torn into pieces, but her consciousness was able to survive. His fragmented power became the source of the Wild Hunt. And these same remnants of the sinner’s former power allowed him to be reborn from the captivity of non-existence. 
Moon Crusher
The “Moon Crusher” weapon skin, obtained by completing Grim Onslaught on the “Hopeless” difficulty, is the Barnstockr spear, once owned by Reri. Will Reri be a playable character
It is not known for certain whether the Reri banner will ever appear in the game. If we focus on the non-standard model and lore, most likely, the Sinner will suffer the fate of Capitano, who also did not fit into the canons of playability (therefore, his status still remains uncertain, and the Harbinger himself is considered “conditionally dead”).
It is already known that in patch 6.1 there will be a fight with Reri, and he himself will become a Weekly Boss. If the Lunar Avenger is defeated during the battle, the chance of his playable version appearing is reduced to a minimum (and will become possible only if the developers give the hero a second chance and rework the model, as was the case with the Wanderer).
