All new Nod-Krai characters' roadmap in Genshin Impact

His armor design reflects traditional knightly aesthetics combined with the ruggedness of an explorer. This possibly indicates his role in the upcoming conflicts between factions beyond the boundaries of Mondstadt.

2) Nefer

Little is known about Nefer beyond their striking design. Their visual style suggests a possible connection to an ancient species or technical experimentation.

This places them in the newer factions possibly in alliance with the Knights of Favonius in Nod-Krai. Nefer also means beauty in ancient Egyptian. It is also a reference to Nefertiti, an Egyptian queen who was the royal wife of Pharoah Akhenaten.

3) Flins: A representative of the Lightkeepers faction

Kyryll Chudomirovich Flins is introduced as a member of the Lightkeepers, a faction that is being mentioned in the game for the first time. This faction is responsible for protecting the land against the Wild Hunt (Abyss) faction.

4) Nicole: Scholar of the Hexenzirkel

Nicole, known in-game as the mysterious “N,” finally takes form as a dignified member of the Hexenzirkel, the council of witches to which Alice belongs as well. She narrates part of the teaser and seems to represent a rational, metaphysical perspective within the unfolding story in Genshin Impact.

Lauma is affiliated with the Frostmoon Scions, a group speculated to deal with powers and faith in the Frostmoon. Her design, which is likely Latvian/Lithuanian inspired, evokes solitude and devotion.
