As a human, he lived in Berlin, city that was completely decimated by a Honkai Eruption in 1952 that gave birth to him as the Herrscher of Reason. Welt Joyce was a Herrscher, a super powerful human that was given powers by the force known as the Honkai. We first meet him in 1955 when he's 8 years old, but in reality his story begins with a different person: Welt Joyce. Joachim Nokianvirtanen was a Finnish boy, born to Elias Nokianvirtanen and Henrietta Yang in 1947.

The first thing to know is that Welt's name is not actually Welt, but Joachim.

Let's go ahead and take a look at what these people mean to Welt, how they met and, overall, how his story goes!

The blond man at the back is named Void Archives.The red haired woman on the bottom left is Nikola Tesla, and the blue haired woman behind her is Einstein.The blue haired man on his right is Welt Joyce.Let's just call out the names of the people that appear here, as they'll be important throughout this post: This art, by itself, already includes many references to Welt's origins and past. Without further ado, let's begin by taking a look at Welt himself, along with his splash art. Also for the mods, if this post is considered to not be relevant to Star Rail, as it primarily talks about Honkai Impact but in a way to be informative to Star Rail players, please feel free to remove it! I do want to warn that you'll find spoilers for Honkai Impact ahead, so please do not read if you haven't played it and you intend to sometime in the future. Since Welt is the only case where he's the same character as in HI3, as opposed to being a counterpart, he's the only one whose lore actually makes any difference, but I believe it may still be fun for Star Rail players to find out about the counterparts of their favorite characters, like Bronya, Seele, Sushang, Luocha, among others. I've seen many people ask about Welt's lore since he released in HSR, and though there are already many resources to learn about him, it gave me the idea to create a small series where we take a look at all the Honkai Impact characters that made it into Star Rail, just for curiosity.
