Just Who Exactly Is Gallagher? | Honkai Star Rail Lore

- Maybe im just naive or too trusting but Gallaghers reveal in the 2.1 story came rather surprisingly but whats more surprising is the fact that he is claimed to be a servant of the enigmata, a group within honkai star rail that focuses on obscuring and hiding knowledge. Despite the nameless initially trusting him, in hindsight we know very little about gallagher, where does he come from, how old is he, what does he even really look like. We seem to not know any of this and it just begs the question, just who exactly is gallagher?
So in this video we are going to examine gallagher in a lot more detail and figure out just who exactly he is because if he truly is allied with the enigmata then something just doesnt add up
Some part of this video comes from the actual lore while others may be speculation on my part as we currently do not know the full story. As such take it with a grain of salt as the point of this video is just a deeper dive into Honkai Star Rail lore.

First Tingyun, now Gallagher...HSR is giving me trust issues! 😂
EDIT: I'm glad that other people also picked up on all the "Gallagher isn't who he seems to be" moments (like several NPCs not knowing who he is, even though they should have), because for a while I reallly thought I was going crazy or just misread the dialogues.
yea it didnt click for a while that people didnt know who gallagher was
I like how his playstyle is pretty contradictory too just like his character.
True, his gameplay is weird asf, he is a strange mix of debuffer, healer and breaker.
@@AgentUltimate7 gallagher can technically buff too with his 2nd eidolon. He's such a weird little guy
@@butter4104 I forgot about it! I have completed all of his eidolons (Acheron gave me a hard time), but still I forgot about his E2.
He sure is a fun character to use.
Its kinda like his appearance, which sunday mentions is an amalgamation of many physical traits of each family member. So maybe, jsut maybe 5 star gallagher is all paths combined? No wait thats the MC 😂
I saw another video discussing this topic on who Gallagher is and it brings up a valid point. Gallagher is the only character to have a line about Misha and vice versa.
Also, in the White Night video, Misha is shown to be hunted down by what looks like a hound and then transitions to Gallagher. While this may be just a style choice, the fact that these two are the only ones who know of each other's existence is kinda odd. And considering that numerous theories are saying that Misha is related to the Watchmaker kinda adds some sense to it.
It seems like Misha is related to the watchmaker being a sort of "stand in" while Ghallager resembles a stand in for Hanue, doesn't seem like a coincidence that they are related
Can we really trust something that is related to the path Enigmata, when they are involve every players will have severe trust issues 🤣
Idk we can't trust the Fake News Guys.
They be mad trolling.
Trying to summarizing and analyzing the lores to make it easier to understand is already a tough job, we even have to be aware Aeon Of Misinformation to not mess thing up too 😂
Based on different theorists, it's not like they wanted to erase the past or only wanted to do that, but they don't want everything to have a clear answer. If everything had a clear answer, you would stop questioning things and then the mystery of the universe which always makes people in awe would stop be intriguing as well
@@L16htW4rr10r THIS!
So without Enigmata, the questions and mysteries are pointless to be there since already have clear answer. Enigmata is ties between the Truth and Lies after all. Solves the riddlers and seek through the lies to find the truth
Not sure how important this is - but I'd be interested in a lore video going in depth into hanu and the origami birds with what the story has given us so far
With how incredible certain monologues have been when interacting with items, I'd imagine that the dialogue with the birds, combined properly, as well as the hanu adventure books you get could sum up to something interesting
Here’s me take: Gallagher is shown to be a very rebellious person, whereas someone like Misha is very obiedent. I think the Familiy considered Gallagher a dangerous threat and gave him a fate worse than death - the Family killed Gallagher at age 13, but only in the real world; his memoria persisted in the dream world just so that the Familiy could continue using him. “Defanging a dog” as he would put it. When Gallagher says he’s 13, he’s refering to the fact that this is his last age in the real world before his cruel death.
Evidence to support this is that Gallagher never once shows up in the real world - only the dreamscape unlike Misha who appears in both, and it would also explain why almost no BloodHounds seem to know who he is, because he exists in only 1 plane. And preserving someone in memoria isn’t new to the Family - there’s a side quest featuring a missing Genus Society member, and the end reveals that his body no longer exists, and the Family imprisoned him in the dream world in memoria.
This theory also proves HOW Gallagher can potentially be the Death Meme itself, because things in the dreamscape are susceptible to emotions the longer they exist in a dream - it’s why the Sweat Dreams Troupe becomes the Dream Jolt Troupe. Gallagher quite literally cannot leave the dreamscape, so just like the Sweat Dreams Troupe, he too is forever becoming effected by the emotions. This even proves little things, like how the Vinettes in a Cup event revealed that the only way to prevent this susceptibility is by drinking concotions. You know how Gallagher has a silly little idle animation where his arm starts burning and he drinks out of a canteen to make it go away? Yeah, that’s the standard procedure to prevent him becoming Death. His scars and burnings are the metaphorical and physical representation of the dreamscape eating away at him.
I just find it funny that for a group so devoted to the Harmony, the way they punish adversities is one akin to Nihilism.
Penacony isn’t beating the game of thrones allegations with this one.
Lets just hope the ending is a bit more thought out here 😂
Enigmata and Mythus' antics in general is like a cruel and unfunny joke that sooner or later would Aha struggling to laugh at
It's really something that Aeon Fuli and its remembrance would diametrically oppose against as well, considering Fuli's agents are specifically prepared for the future after foreseen cyclical destructions of HSRverse, with Fuli's affiliated factions supposed to maintain previous cycles' knowledge to reconstruct future yet Mythus and its minions would blatantly tampering with it so mortals either wouldn't driven mad to despair (or have chances to ascends and change Fate)
There's good chance that Modus Operandi of those following Enigmata path are done collectively or at least interdependently with each other in order deliberately obfuscating facts, although if either of Mythus, Aha or Fuli overlaps each other then any of them would cease to function (although Fuli already foreseen to witness everything in Fable of The Stars (hence it's probably the only Aeon that know what happened to Akivili and both of our Trailblazers), so in the end I don't think Mythus nor Aha could even able to overlapping the path of Remembrance)
Oh and speaking of changing Fates in Honkaiverse, only both Ai Chan and Captain of Hyperion himself being able to do such feats, especially do Captain being unique entity that can traverse Sea of Quanta and even tampering with creating branching timelines without any sacrificial gambit (unlike HI3's Otto Schicksal and HSR's Aventurine) that which is Imaginary in nature, although only veteran players remembers)
It seems that for every aeon there is another aeon directly Opposing them such as mythus(enigmata) oposing nous(erudition),while ena(order) is opposed by tazzeronth(chaos) and so on, this is most likely to keep the equilibrium and may or may not be the doing of HooH(equilibrium) as he steps in to take place of the swarm after tazzeronth is defeated by qlipoth
13 is obviously the 13th hour. Penacony dream has 12 hours, and he's the extra one, represent the extra hour somehow!
It's the 13th Tarot card which is death.
@@Benji_The_GhoulThe theory of death was already debunked
@@K-ren719 no it wasn't, did you pay attention to the story at all?
I doubt Sunday calling Gallagher a servant of Enigmata as just a mere insult.
After the 2.1 quest Gallagher's loading screen directly mention him being suspected of being a follower of Enigmata.
Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time a characters is named by their path or organization, like Sparkle
I kinda see it in two ways, either sunday is being direct and just outright identifies gallagher as a follower of enigmata, or its a jab at his past. I have this feeling that those who fought alongside the watchmaker long ago might have cast aside their belief or loyalty in their individual paths and ended up banding together under the watchmaker and why sunday 'insulted' him by saying that implying that he was once but no longer but again the first does seem more likely, its just an afterthought i had
Update on this? Now that he confirmed he's a History Fictionologist, does that mean he's an Emanator of the Enigmata? Or is that the "real" Gallagher, not the mashup entity "Gallagher"?
Isn't he penacony itself
We should have immediately known something was up when he was the ONLY character with a line about Misha. Another character that many other characters can’t perceive or know exists.
Thats true, what really boggles my mind is im really curious what he actually looks like since sunday implies that he is making use of many different family member appearance traits
Almost there dude....10k sub

Hahah so close 😁
It would be cool if you could propose a theory on the gâcha system of Honkai star rail connecting it to the sea of quanta as players using star rail passes involves “fishing” into the sea to capture a certain amplitude of the electron field that yields a certain amount of particles. These particles are quantized fragments of the characters released in the game; notice how if you play as Tingyun in the Loufu, people don’t question if you are alive or not. This means that these characters are merely quantized clones generated from specific probabilities of the fields within the sea of quantum. This is also the reason why electron orbitals have their unique s (spherical), p (dumbbell) shape and so on because the shape represents the probability that the particle can be in a specific space at a certain time. The gâcha system has diverse probabilities that represents how certain you can predict the location of the character within the sea of quantum; thus, when you “fish” for the characters within the sea, the probability regions determine the exact position to “fish” for. Unfortunately, due to uncertainty principles, quantum wave-particle units like electrons move so quickly that one can not determine its position with 100% certainty which is why “fishing” for the sea of quantum is “luck” dependent and randomized. I infer this is the truth that the enigmata yearns to keep hidden from the universe because it involves a lot of uncertainty that civilizations are not prepared to handle knowing there can be an extra clone of them located nearby.
I think that the gâcha system is a core component of the sea of quanta and that if a hoyoverse game includes a gâcha system in any function that involves random probabilities, then it should most likely be part of the same universe that Honkai star rail and Genshin impact is in.
Update, he is Penacony
I just now realized he didn't say he was 13 astral eras old, which is what I thought he said, thought dude was OLD.
Once the Enigmata is involved, be prepared to grit your teeth over the lies you're about to be told.
Very fitting of this quest as we can't pretty muh couldn't trust anybody on Penacony.
He's a guard dog, in my opinion.
Huge theory: Gallagher is a dawg/ hound rawr
Sunday says that Gallagher is a mismash of Family members, perhaps every time the Death meme kills someone Gallagher copies a bit of them hence him calling Sunday his sibling?
That cannot be the case as most of the family heads that Gahllagar is made up of are still there in the open world as NPC's
Rather than being a synthetic entity in the same way the Trailblazer is, I think "Gallagher" is a synthetic *identity* that the Enigmata agent took on (maybe 13 years ago? But then again, the capitalization makes me think something more is going on there). Whoever Gallagher was before assuming that identity, I suspect he will retain his new Identity when all is said and done. What will happen to make him want to do that remains to be seen.
A synthetic identity is pretty interesting as an idea, I wonder whether thats where the memokeepers might fit into the story here. Like perhaps to retain or exist as a non-corporeal form (sentient identity) maybe they needed the memory bubble tech from the garden of recollection. Im also curious whether gallagher has a "true" appearance since sunday implies hes an amalgamation of different appearance traits of the family members
It was only until I watched your video again that I did notice the little thing that ends up more suspicious once you saw it. He was the one who explicitly helped out Firefly and kept her in the Dreamscape despite knowing well that she was the one the Bloodhounds were looking for. Why exactly isn't really noticable until you realise who he's implied to be connected with. The Death meme /targetted/ Firefly specifically, if she was out of the Dreamscape then it wouldn't be able to "kill" her.
Gallagher was the one who pushed for her to stay /because/ the Meme was supposed to kill her. Why is a weird question and will probably be revealed in 2.2 but my own assumption, as of right now, is that he needed Firefly to die in order to see the Truth of Penacony and /somehow/ return in order to expose it?
Its possible but im still a bit confused on who exactly gallagher is siding with, he seems to want everyoen to figure out this secret about the watchmaker but that kinda contradicts the idea of being an follower of the enigmata. I really hope we get some clarification in 2.2
@@Maevix3142 my thoughts is despite him being a follower of enigmata that doesn't mean he had to follow it's beliefs, kinda like luocha opposing yaoshi despite having the power of abundance
All of HSR's main arcs are consistently a riddle of "how tf is a stellaron involved in fcking up this place somehow"
Exactly! I cant really figure out the stellarons role at this moment but my prevaling guesses are thats its sustaining the dreamscape or something like a power source of sorts
I'm pretty sure Gallagher is Misha's pet dog.
Source: Because I fucking said so.
Well I'm the last person to be able to refute this given half the time I talk about Elio I claim hes a cat 😂
I just got it.
Enigmata are the only ones aware of the fact that they're video game characters, and they're keeping it secret.
Possible but if that were the case then the elation would likely know as well since Aha knew it was in a the simulated universe which is not really a game.. but yeah 😁
Maybe hes claiming hes thirteen means that he may be counting in idk decades or something
Amber eras? 😉
I wanna bet that he is Hanu. I hope so.
Gallager a troll to information
Maybe gallagher is the original watchmaker or is the current one
Its possible though he seems to imply Misha was the last one, perhaps he is one in spirit only?
@centralfinitecurve3812 where does he imply Misha is the current watchmaker?
I could see this. The stowaway is Misha. Silver haired male. Sam is a mecha, so he can't be the one they look for.
Hm, this is a interesthing take, but what if this Gall is not real and some kind of ententy that use his body and now in 2.2 is possessing Sunday.
I hear the aeon of control or a eminator could try gain the control of penacony , again this mistory can go in so many direction and only have 2 weeks to hear the anwers
So I guess you don't subscribe to the theory that Gallagher is literally a hound dog, huh? 13 Is pretty old for a dog. 😎
Hahah, he could be but I couldnt find evidence of it yet 😂
