Nameless

WARNING! This article may contain major spoilers for the Hero Killer manhwa series. Please read at your own risk!

The Nameless are a gathering of villains led by Engen, the Smiling Man. They are made up of survivors from the War of the Reeds and the generation of villains born after the war.

History

End of Old Nera

Having lost two major battles, Engen and the forces of Nera were defeated by the Hero Clan in the War of the Reeds. The word of "Nera" ceased to exist with the clan banning its name after their victory. Engen and the survivors scattered as his former comrades went into hiding as in the case of Chain or abandoned him in his desire to continue fighting against the clan.

Engen's activities in the decades following his loss aren't fully known as he disappeared from the public eye with many assuming he had died in the war. Other survivors like Nugal settled down in a slum as he eventually started a family while others like Abyss Dancer left but continued her villainous life.

Gathering of the Nameless

Over a century later into the Age of Heroes and Villains, Engen traveled to Castle Gray, the snow-covered wasteland. He met Rachel Sinclair and saved the young girl's life from her torturers after killing them. The girl had wondered what he was doing in the snow-covered wasteland, and Engen answered that he was preparing for his third attempt against the Hero Clan.

Engen seeing Rachel's potential decided to take her under his wing and raise her, promising to help her achieve revenge against her biological father Reagan Sinclair, the Mad Elder.^[1]

While leaving Castle Gray, Engen encountered Vector, a scientist from the Hero Clan, who had just fled from the horrific Project Newborn alongside John Nash, a victim and test subject of the program.^[2] Engen recognized the potential of Vector’s Gift and Vector offered his services for a place in his plans to witness and contribute to his future endeavors against the Hero Clan.^[3]

In the years that followed, Engen began gathering survivors, outcasts, and those with a grudge against the Hero Clan. Among those he recruited were Baek-Ji, a young Gift User with a personal vendetta against the Hero Clan's leader. This group of individuals would come to be known as the Nameless, a new generation of villains who had survived the war amongst a new generation. The group of villains settled down in Dust City.

Story

District 17 Assault Arc

The Nameless watch Hero Killer's fight with Chaos and Viper^[4]. Rachel wonders if saving her is worth catching the attention of the Hero Clan but Engen answers that there's strength in numbers and that Hero Killer is quite an asset. As Hero Killer is on the brink of defeat and being killed by Viper, John Nash appears before the hero.

As the hero asks who he is, John kills him in an instant while Rachel cheerfully answers his posthumous question that they're the villain of course. Chaos, seeing this, retreats.
