In Fortnite there is a story that is told on the sidelines. Since the emergence of the underground organization “IO” and the appearance of the Foundation in Chapter 2 Season 6, the name Genō has been mentioned. This being holds something that the leader of the Seven wants. We will show you everything that is known about Genō.
What is Genō? To understand who Genō might be, you need to know who IO is. “Imagined Order”, also known as IO, is a background organization that stands against the Seven.
They want to use the power of the Zero Point to possess an inexhaustible amount of energy that allows them to travel through different timelines and parallel worlds. This way, they maintain control over everything and everyone.
In Chapter 2 Season 6, since the Foundation nearly beat up Jonesy, he promised to show him where Genō is located. He assured Jonesy that the Sisters would be there too. At that time, Jonesy was a defector from the IO and was fighting himself on the front of the Zero Point. Previously, he was an employee of the Imagined Order and surely knew about the internal hierarchy and their processes.
By Sisters, it is presumably meant two more followers of the Seven. Hypex, a well-known leaker from Fortnite, has released concepts for new skins. Four variants of skins were shown that resemble the appearance of the Seven.
If Genō is holding the Sisters, then this is an enemy of the Seven. This could mean that IO and Genō are in cahoots.
Another aspect supports that the mysterious person is working with IO. In the comic “Batman/Fortnite: Foundation”, it was mentioned that Genō possesses the Zero Point. So, connecting the fact that the Imagined Order and the mysterious being possess the Zero Point, one can assume that they are working together.
Since IO is the obvious organization that acts on the forefront, Genō could symbolize the leaders of the organization. They operate in the background and lead the organization from the shadows.
However, these are still speculations and logical conclusions; it is not exactly clear who this Genō is. What is certain, however, is that Epic will gradually reveal the secrets that are still unresolved throughout Chapter 3.
