Honkai Star Rail – Arlan

“The head of Herta Space Station's Security Department. This quiet boy hopes to protect the researchers who value their pursuit of knowledge, and to help them to complete their work.”

Arlan is the Head of the Security Department at Herta Space Station, and we meet him quite early into the story of Honkai Star Rail.

As a playable character, he is a 4-star Lightning character following the Path of Destruction. For Arlan's case, his kit revolves around consuming his own HP to use his skill instead of a skill point.

He is voiced by Dani Chambers in the English voiceover. Chambers voiced Nilou from Genshin Impact, Becky Blackbell from Spy x Family, and Chise Hatori from The Ancient Magus' Pride, among her many roles across games and anime.

Ryoko Shiraishi is Arlan's VA for the Japanese voiceover. She voiced Asuka Kazama from the Tekken series since Tekken 5, Devola and Popola from the Nier series, Hikage from the Senran Kagura series, and a lot more.

Official Arlan Introduction

“I'm proud of my wounds. They're a reminder of being able to protect everyone.”

The inarticulate head of Herta Space Station's Security Department.

While scientific research is beyond his understanding, Arlan is willing to risk his life to protect the staff who value research so very much. He is used to the pain and wears his scars like badges of honor.

Only when holding Peppy does the boy finally let down his guard and show a rare smile.
