Gengor

Gengor is a fictional character from the *Genshin Impact* open-world action role-playing game developed by miHoYo. Introduced in the game’s *Spiral Abyss* and later expanded upon in the *Windblume Wish* story campaign, Gengor serves as the primary antagonist of the *Windblume Wish* arc, which explores the history and lore of the nation of Inazuma.

Originally a human named Gengoroh, he was transformed into a monstrous entity known as the "Gorou" by the ancient Inazuma deity, the *Kujou*. This transformation was a result of his betrayal and subsequent imprisonment within the *Kujou’s* body. Over centuries, Gengoroh became a symbol of chaos and destruction, embodying the destructive forces of the *Kujou*’s wrath. His appearance is characterized by a grotesque, skeletal form with glowing red eyes and jagged, obsidian-like features, reflecting his corrupted nature.

In the *Windblume Wish* story, Gengor is manipulated by the villainous *Kujou* to fulfill his role in the deity’s grand scheme, which involves awakening the *Kujou* and unleashing its power upon Inazuma. The character’s backstory is revealed through flashbacks and dialogue, highlighting his tragic descent from a once-human figure to a mindless force of destruction. His design and lore elements draw inspiration from Japanese folklore and mythology, particularly themes of betrayal, punishment, and the consequences of defying divine will.

Gengor’s role in the narrative serves as a catalyst for the conflict between the *Kujou* and the protagonists, including the player character and their allies. His defeat in the story arc helps to disrupt the *Kujou*’s plans, though his legacy and influence persist as a reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the consequences of breaking sacred vows. As a character, Gengor represents the darker aspects of Inazuma’s history, contrasting with the nation’s traditional values of harmony and balance.
