Enryu
The Irregular who killed a Guardian, a feat once thought impossible.
Enryu is a highly notable Irregular within the lore of Tower of God, known for a single, world-shattering feat: he killed the then administrator and guardian of the 43rd floor. This act was once thought to be impossible, as Administrators were believed to be immortal and otherwise infallible. Because of this, Enryu is regarded by the Tower's inhabitants as a highly destructive entity with unfathomable powers and abilities, and is seen as a calamity brought forth by the Tower's prophecies to bring about change.
Lore & Background
Enryu is one of the Irregulars, individuals who have a special connection with the Tower and can use Shinsu with little to no constraints, regardless of contracts with floor administrators. He is most famous for killing the administrator and guardian of the 43rd floor, a deed that shattered the belief that Administrators were immortal and infallible. This event has led many Tower inhabitants to view Irregulars as highly destructive entities and calamities. Enryu's actions are a key part of the Tower's history, demonstrating that even the highest laws can be broken.
Reader's Guide
Enryu is a figure of pure legend within Tower of God, known only for his singular, impossible act. He is an Irregular, meaning he entered the Tower from the outside and is not bound by the same contracts as Regulars. His power is so immense that he could kill a Guardian, a feat that no other being has accomplished. His role in the story is that of a historical anomaly—a being whose actions reshaped the Tower's understanding of its own rules. He is not a character who appears in the main narrative, but his legacy looms large, especially in relation to King Jahad, as only an Irregular can kill Jahad due to his contract with the Tower Guardians.
