Speculating who Duke Inferno is in Honkai Star Rail

Duke Inferno is very likely Ifrit, as detailed in the lore behind “The Ashblazing Grand Duke” Relic set that is farmable in-game. Ifrit possesses the last of the Aeon of Destruction’s flames, wearing them as a crown (known as the Fetrora’s Crown).

Ifrit is obsessed with the destruction and eradication of all life and is known to have destroyed worlds prior. He believes that eradication of life is the only way to appreciate its true beauty and value. He takes his work very seriously, often acting as an orchestra conductor as he rains fire on civilizations, laying them to waste.

Duke Inferno attempts his conquests to achieve the gaze and approval of Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction. Unfortunately, Nanook has yet to respond to Ifirt’s exploits.
