Who is Honkai Star Rail’s Argenti?
You may recognize the name ‘Knights of Beauty’ – they’ve started showing up in the simulated universe as an event. They’re a group that follows the aeon Idrila the Beauty. There’s not a huge amount of information on them just yet, other than that they ride some sort of mount and sing ancient songs as they travel the galaxy, not tied to any particular planet.
Anyway, Argenti is one such knight, dressed in gleaming armor with flowing red locks. He’s a noble and admirable man, apparently, and upholding the name of beauty is his life’s goal.
In French, ‘argent’ translates to money, and in Latin, ‘argenti’ means silver – so take that from what you will. I, for one, am intrigued as to his personality and motives.
Perhaps you lost a 50/50 and now have a new standard character to build – not to worry, we can help you out. Check out our builds for Honkai Star Rail’s Gepard, Honkai Star Rail’s Bailu, and Honkai Star Rail’s Welt.
