The name Elio was first featured in Honkai Star Rail during the Chaos in the Deep Trailblazer mission. Kafka was the one to reveal Elio’s ability to foresee the future. Elio, also known as Destiny’s Slave, is the leader of the faction called Stellaron Hunters. Hence, Kafka is fixated on knowing what is part of the script, when she is declared the in-charge of the operation.
The real identity of Elio, however, still has an air of mystery to it. While Elio has not made an appearance in the game yet, this has not discouraged players from making speculations.
Elio’s Identity in Honkai Star Rail
Elio is the visionary who leads the members of Stellaron Hunters– Kafka, Sam, Blade, and Silver Wolf. Herta, the owner of the Space Station, however, describes him quite differently:
A maniac who claims he can see destiny, leading a bunch of wild lunatics in pursuit of the most dangerous objects in the universe!
Herta, Honkai Star Rail
During one of his foresight, Elio predicted that the Trailblazer (Main Character) is destined to battle Nanook. Now, this very fact that both Trailblazers’ and Elio’s past are hazy has left us to wonder whether this is a mere coincidence. Many players (myself included) speculate whether Elio is Trailblazer. However, this is not just the only fan theory out there.

After the most prominent speculation of Trailblazer being Elio, some crazy yet possible theory suggests that Elio could be disguised as a cat. This theory took birth after a splash art of Kafka revealed all the Stellaron Hunters, with a black cat dominating the central spot of the art. This has made fans wonder if Elio could be the cat.
Some players even tried to dwell deeper than what catches the eye wondering if Elio could be a cyborg or machine. This speculation is based on the dual meaning of the word ‘script’. However, this is a weak theory and can easily be negated by Herta’s disbelief in Elio’s foresight claims.
Remember, these are all mere speculations and you must take them with a grain of salt. The true identity of Elio can only be confirmed by the developers. It will be exciting to see if Elio is introduced as a new character or has been fooling us in disguise all along.
