''"Cease your doubts... Come, follow me to eternal void."''

Ain is the Master of Void, reborn from emptiness, sending his enemies back into nothingness with endless chaos.  

Once Ain denies the Goddess, and accepts chaos, he began to destroy everything that stands in his path. Even his body was ephemeral, given to him by the Goddess. As such, Ain abandons his meaningless form to be reborn as the true Master of Void. He feels freedom the moment he throws away everything that tied him down along with his physical body and decides to reclaim his body in order to guide others to follow his path.  

He was no longer of this world, merely a vestige of chaos.  

"I stand here... At the end of all things..."

As the Master of Void, he simultaneously exists everywhere, and nowhere. He guides the pitiful to his realm of Void.

|'''Scythe Uppercut'''

After doing a single {{CX}}, swipe enemies with henir energy and rush a great distance forward in super armor to perform a scythe uppercut. The uppercut deals hitstun, leaving targets open. Scythe appearance varies in normal and Henir mode.

|'''Scythe Swing'''

After doing the standard {{CDRU}}{{CX}}{{CX}}{{CX}} combo, dive downwards with the scythe and swing it forward. The dive can be done after any spear throw. Scythe appearance varies in normal and Henir mode.

*'''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Herrscher Herrscher]''' is a German term for '''Ruler'''.

*'''Herrscher''' and [[Mad Paradox]] are the only two playable characters that aren't really alive anymore in the usual sense. As the backstory describes, Ain's "body" is a mere shell of his 'true' void form, which he uses to interact with the physical world. This is reflected by large portions of his arms, legs, and torso being completely gone, both in his art and in-game model, as well as the animation for his Hyper Active, [[Zerinnen]].

**While the hole in his chest was already there in the artwork of [[Apostasia]] in '''Spiritualism (Henir)''' mode, this time it is properly modeled in-game as well and it is possible to see through it.

**Due to no longer being strictly alive, '''Herrscher''''s age is now officially listed as unknown, with no approximated age given, unlike Ain's other paths.

*'''Herrscher''' shares a lot of his design with the '''Orbis''' monsters and '''Chrysalis''' boss of [[Forgotten Elrian Sanctum|Forgotten Elrian Sanctum]], including a pulsing Eye of Henir in the hole in his chest. As the monsters are a product of Henir as well, this is likely intentional.
