According to Honkai: Star Rail, Kafka is a Stellaron Hunter and Elio’s most trusted member of Destiny's Slave. The 5-Star Nihility character is also on the Interastral Peace Corporation's wanted list and the only known information about her is that she likes collecting coats.

There’s no doubt that leveling up Kafka requires certain Ascension and Trace materials in Honkai: Star Rail. Players need to defeat bosses like the Stagnant Shadow and farm Calyxes continuously until the required amount is obtained.
