See also:Honkai: Star Rail/Relics#Passerby of Wandering Cloud His original name was "Yingxing." His hometown was destroyed by the Borisin fleet and turned into a weapon ranch. After escaping to the Xianzhou, he studied weapon forging diligently, swearing to eradicate the Abominations of Abundance. He studied under General Huaiyan, the "Flaming Catastrophe" of the Xianzhou Zhuming, earning recognition as a craftsman at a young age and later receiving the title of "Furnace Master." When Baiheng accompanied the Yaoqing delegation to the Zhuming, Yingxing welcomed them. Following Huaiyan's orders, he led them to the Flaming Wheel Forge and activated a mechanism, allowing the Flint Lord to give the delegation a daunting reception. Yingxing shared deep bonds with Jingliu, Dan Feng, Jing Yuan, and Baiheng; the five were collectively known as the "High-Cloud Quintet." Yingxing once forged a hundred extraordinary items, the most famous of which were the sword "Shards" used by Jingliu, the bow used by Baiheng, the spear "Cloud-Piercer" used by Imbibitor Lunae, and the array glaive "Starfall" used by Jing Yuan. During the Shuhu Uprising, he witnessed Baiheng sacrifice herself to save Jingliu and Dan Feng, perishing along with Shuhu, the Emanator of Abundance. During the "Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae," Yingxing fought to protect others and was severely wounded. He should have died, but because he was tainted by Shuhu's flesh and blood, he gained a power of immortality far exceeding that of the Xianzhou people and was resurrected^[5]. After the Xianzhou learned that Yingxing was not dead, they marked him as a major criminal. Jingliu also sought out Yingxing again and killed him repeatedly. During this process, the sword Shards was shattered and abandoned by Jingliu. Partly because he lost the nimble hands that had forged a thousand wonders, and partly because he had experienced death and made seeking death and revenge his only two goals for the rest of his life, Yingxing abandoned his original name and called himself "Blade." He picked up the shattered sword Shards and memorized the sword techniques Jingliu had carved into his body. Since then, through the resonance between a pair of bracers held by Blade and Dan Heng respectively, Blade began his endless pursuit of revenge against Dan Heng. Seeking only death, Blade was pierced through by Dan Heng's spear time and again as Dan Heng fought without restraint. However, possessing Shuhu's blessing, Blade was able to reappear before Dan Heng after falling over and over again. Later, Blade encountered the Stellaron Hunters Kafka and Fire While carrying out the mission in Jepella, Blade drove Firefly to the Jepella Palace. Because Blade always seeks death, Firefly couldn't help but question whether he had a driver's license and raised concerns about speeding and fatigued driving. In response, Blade asked why Firefly didn't transform into Sam, to which Firefly replied that she wanted to stay in this form for a bit longer before the mission. On the way, the two talked about the mission in Penacony. Blade envied that Firefly's script included three "deaths," hoping she would find her own answer or relief there. Firefly responded that she knew she would eventually die, but she hoped she could still make a choice and die as a "human" rather than a "weapon," with the name "Firefly" carved on her tombstone.

Character Details
A swordsman who abandoned his body to become a blade. His original name is unknown. Pledges loyalty to "Destiny's Slave," possessing a terrifying self-healing ability. He fights with an ancient sword, its blade covered in cracks, just like his body and his heart.
Character Story: I (Unlocked at Character Level 20)
He could see nothing but red. There was a sweet, metallic taste in his mouth, and his limbs were heavy and weak. —He should have been dead. "Have you remembered?" He opened his mouth blankly, the sound like that of an uncivilized beast. The sound in his throat came to an abrupt halt; a cold, hard object pierced through him. This was repeated as many as a thousand times. How wondrous. When his flesh tore, he could hear the faint sound of tendons and bones bridging and mending. How wondrous. The monster within him was being nourished, yet he had to let it grow into a behemoth. How wondrous. He had lost the will to live, yet his body restored itself as if of its own accord. How wondrous. Before the sword could attempt to pierce his body again, he grabbed it and slowly stood up. "Have you remembered?" He met the woman's blood-red eyes, his mind still a complete blank —He was pierced once more. "Remember the feeling of death, and bring it to them." The crimson surged in his eyes again; he stared at the sword on the ground that had killed him, its blade half-shattered. "Get up. Let me kill you once more."
Character Story: II (Unlocks at Character Level 40)
He could see nothing but red. There was a sweet, metallic taste in his mouth, and his limbs were heavy and weak. —He should have been dead. The black-haired youth trembled all over, yet he still gripped the spear in his hand tightly. He had no dragon horns, and his reactions were more immature than in his memories— But he would not mistake this spear, nor those eyes, and the cruelty that lay beneath that lake-still turquoise. The wounds began to heal; he shifted his gaze toward the boy. The boy swung the spear once more without hesitation— "That's it." The one who ruthlessly exterminates their enemies is you. The one who buried their beloved with their own hands is you. The one who nearly brought about the destruction of their homeland is also you. He fell once again. Clutching his wounds, the boy retreated step by step until he was out of sight. "███, before I witness your death with my own eyes, we will meet again."
Character Story: Part III (Unlocked at Character Level 60)
He could see nothing but red. There was a sweet, metallic taste in his mouth, and his limbs were heavy and weak. —He should have been dead. The monster swallowed him once more, but this time he was not facing a stranger. The towering armor remained silent; he was held fast in those arms, and the one speaking was the woman in sunglasses. 「Listen to me, I can kill you once more, otherwise I won't be able to take you back." Her voice was very gentle, and even the monster inside him quieted down to listen to her. "But I don't want to do that." The woman leaned down and whispered in his ear. It was a deal he couldn't refuse. "What do you want?" "Is there anything more pleasing than witnessing how an immortal dies? That's what 'he' says." The tall armor released its grip. "Destiny" lay ahead, and he would go with them. 「Listen to me, Bladie, relax." 「Listen to me, don't think about anything." He nodded, and the woman walked to his side. She was smiling, but he felt that the smile was very sad. "Perhaps someone left her without listening to her finish."He thought.
Character Story IV (Unlocked at Character Level 80)
He could no longer see anything. He remembered decades ago, when he arrived at the Xianzhou with a merchant ship and was awestruck by the uncanny craftsmanship of the place. The youth forgot to eat and sleep, pouring out his inspiration; he forged a hundred types of curios, four of which were the most famous. The sword named "Shard Sword" was flawless throughout, its lacquer shimmering with a bloody light; only the Xianzhou's strongest swordmaster could interpret the true essence of this blade. The Foxian girl once fired three arrows at once from her curved bow in a desperate situation, yet she still didn't forget to chat and laugh with everyone while piloting the starskiff. The black-haired man with dragon horns used water manipulation to heal his companions, and in the next instant, he infused the water into his spear, piercing through the enemy in a flash. And then there was that boy who always loved to bicker with him; when he saw this array glaive, he snatched it away and refused to let go. Now, ██ is dead—this first and only death. But he is still here, that mind, still like a youth's, is thinking; he will think forever. He thinks of his hands, no longer nimble, hands that can no longer forge any blades— —but none of this has anything to do with him. From now on, that shell shall be the only "Blade."
