Overview
Mydei, whose true name is Mydeimos, is a 5-star playable Imaginary character following the Path of The Destruction in Honkai: Star Rail. Originating from the fog-shrouded city-state of Castrum Kremnos on the world of Amphoreus, he is a crown prince and one of the heroic Chrysos Heirs. Refusing to claim the bloody throne of his birthright after defying his doomed destiny, he currently serves as a formidable warrior in Okhema under the alias PoleMos.
Appearance
Mydei is a tall, muscular man with medium-length blonde hair that gradients into orange and red, accented by a single braid. He has striking golden-red eyes, facial shadow accents, and red war tattoos across his bare upper torso. His attire includes a flowing red cape, shoulder armor, metallic gauntlets with vambraces, gold armlets, dark trousers, and heavy golden leg armor with armored boots, accompanied by a necklace and drop earrings.
Personality
On the surface, Mydei exhibits an arrogant, blunt demeanor and an unmatched passion for direct combat, earning him a reputation as a fierce berserker. In truth, he is deeply honorable, detesting underhanded tactics and taking care to protect innocent lives and honor traditions. He demonstrates a surprisingly caring nature toward civilians and children, enjoys crafting sweet treats and cooking, but openly disdains complex mathematics, preferring to solve complicated matters with straightforward strength.
Abilities
In battle, Mydei wields a spear formed of crimson crystals. By consuming his own health, he enters a specialized Berserk-like state that dramatically boosts his maximum HP and grants high crowd-control resistance. During this phase, he operates automatically, unleashing heavy Area-of-Effect attacks such as 'A King Slay, A King Raised' and 'A God Slay, A God Reached'. His innate gift of immortality allows him to survive lethal blows, rapidly regenerate, and draw enemy aggression toward himself.
Background
Born to King Eurypon of Castrum Kremnos, Mydei was cast into the sea as an infant to prevent a prophecy claiming he would slay his father and bring ruin to the realm. Surviving through his miraculous blessing of immortality, he led a band of exiled loyalists known as the Exiled Vanguard through years of struggle. He eventually defeated his corrupted father to avenge his mother, but rejected the tragic tradition of taking the crown, instead bringing his people to Okhema to fight for the future of Amphoreus.
Relationships
Mydei holds complex ties to his deceased parents, King Eurypon and Queen Gorgo, having avenged his mother by defeating his father. He maintains great respect for his martial mentor Craters. Within Okhema, he aligns closely with the Chrysos Heirs leader Aglaea and teacher Tribbie, while standing alongside fellow warriors like Phainon, Castorice, Ananke, and Cipher. Though initially suspicious of the Trailblazer and Dan Heng, he gradually places his trust in them on the battlefield.
Trivia
His name 'Mydeimos' is thought to derive from Deimos, the Ancient Greek god of dread, combined with roots suggesting boundless terror. He has a notable love for sweets, frequently drinking pomegranate juice mixed with sheep's milk and cheese, and endorsing honey cakes in Okhema. A critical lore detail reveals that his sole physical vulnerability lies at his tenth thoracic vertebra. Visually inspired by classical Spartan warrior aesthetics, his character mechanics uniquely feature forced auto-battle.
