HoYoVerse shared new details about three Honkai: Star Rail characters in a Genius Society report, and among the discussed individuals is the secretive Polka Kakamond. While she’s been referenced by Herta in the game so far, we’ve never heard from her or seen her.
HoYoVerse’s new insights into Honkai: Star Rail’s Polka Kakamond don’t show any actual pictures of her, as the Genius Society member is known for having destroyed all images of herself across the galaxy. She’s described as an assassin and the person who possibly took out Emperor Rupert, a fellow society member, during the Machine Empire Crisis and First Emperor’s War. It also referred to her as the “Lord of Silence” and is rumored to have killed others in the group. She’s also tied to the Aeon Nous and follows their path of Erudition.
Rubert and Rubert II were also brought up. Rupert was a computer and former member who also declared themselves an emperor of the Machine Empire. They created the Anti-Organic Equation to kill what they considered “inferior” organic life. They started The First Emperor’s War and were killed as part of it, leading to the rise of Rupert II. Rupert II was involved in the Second Emperor’s War and created the Scepter system that acts as computational interference devices. The IPC gave that to the Intelligentsia Guild, which has since led to the Scholar’s Strife war.
The third Genius Society Honkai: Star Rail character discussed by HoYoVerse is Dr. Primitive, who came up in discussion with Galaxy Rangers like Boothill and among Herta, Screwllum, and Ruan Mei. He despises and experiments on human beings. He’s also known for creating memetic viruses, leading the Galaxy Rangers on chases, assaulting the planet Vonwacq, and loving bananas.
Odds are, we won’t get to see any of these new Honkai: Star Rail Genius Society characters for a while. The 2.6 patch is going to be focused on some Penacony adventures. It will introduce the Galaxy Ranger Rappa, who will debut as the latest 5-star unit in the game. In 2.7, Fugue and Sunday will appear.
Honkai: Star Rail is available on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices. The 2.6 update arrives on October 23, 2024.
