Who are Genshin Impact’s Fatui Harbingers? Identities revealed
HoYoverseThe core antagonists of Genshin Impact are the Fatui Harbingers, an organized group of individuals who are attempting to rule over Teyvat, and it’s the Traveler’s job to stop them. Here’s everything we know about their identities in the game so far.
The main narrative in Genshin Impact is about the Traveler exploring the land as they try to reunite with their lost sibling, and throughout their journey, they’ll come up against the dangerous group of Fatui Harbingers.
This group of 11 powerful characters wants to obtain sole rule over all of Teyvat and they’ll battle anybody who stands in their way, including the Traveler. While details are still rather scarce, the identities of each Harbinger have been revealed alongside their backstories.
Without further ado, here’s a rundown of all the Fatui Harbingers in the game.
Note: this article will contain story spoilers.
Genshin Impact’s Fatui Harbingers explained
Arlecchino
Arlecchino, codenamed the Knave, runs an orphanage called the House of the Hearth while also being a part of the Fatui Harbingers. The orphanage is a key part of the Fatui’s mission with its residents being raised up to serve the nation in distant lands.
She is a rather controversial figure in the Fatui Harbingers though — Tartaglia (Childe) is very adamant in his dislike for her.
Columbina
Columbina, the Damselette, is a high-ranking member of the Fatui Harbingers — third to be exact. Characterized by her blindfold she is much more dangerous than she appears with even Childe not willing to fight her despite his love of battle.
Due to her appearance as a beautiful and clever servant, she often manipulates others into doing her bidding.
Il Capitano
Il Capitano, the Captain, isn’t quite the leader of the Fatui Harbingers in Genshin Impact. That title has been bestowed upon Pierro. However, he looks like one of the most menacing members, fully clad in armor from head to toe with a hidden face in his reveal.
Very little is known about Il Capitano outside of his supreme combat abilities.
Il Dottore
Il Dottore — the Doctor, if you need to brush up on your Italian — is one of the Fatui Harbinger’s Mondstadt diplomats. Having gone to Sumeru Akademiya alongside some of the other Harbingers, he has used his magical powers to make clones of himself that handle different things.
Everything to Il Dottore is a science experiment, trying to push the boundaries of humanity with his research. He is a prominent figure in Genshin Impact’s manga series, playing a key part in Diluc’s story.
La Signora
Once a part of the Fatui Harbingers, the Fair Lady La Signora has been immortalized in Genshin Impact as one of the boss fights players can undertake in Inazuma. Once a regular woman from Mondstadt, she ended up on the Fatui’s side and became the Crimson Witch of Flame.
However, she was killed after a duel with the Traveler in Inazuma with Raiden Shogun executing the Harbinger on the spot. She is the only dead character on this list, with the other 11 Fatui Harbingers still alive.
Pantalone
Pantalone, rank nine of the Fatui Harbingers and also known as Regrator, is the money man behind the organization. Having been born into poverty and risen up to become a rich tycoon, he now handles a lot of Snezhnaya’s economic policy.
His influence is well-known in Teyvat even if he hasn’t yet made an appearance in Genshin Impact. Travelers initially heard of Pantalone’s existence in Mondstadt when inquiring about the Goth Grand Hotel, while Yelan has also had a run-in with the Fatui Harbinger member.
Pierro
Pierro, the Jester, is the highest-ranked member of the Fatui Harbingers and its founder. After a falling out in his home country saw it descend into ruin, Pierro hunted out the Cryo Archon Tsaritsa to help her on her quest to bring down Teyvat.
Pierro is the puppet master behind the Harbingers, working against the Traveler and Teyvat’s other six nations to try and ultimately seize control of the world for Snezhnaya.
Pulcinella
The old Pulcinella, known as the Rooster, is rank five in the Fatui Harbingers. He is the reason why Tartaglia was admitted into the prestigious Snezhnayan organization, and he also cares for Tartaglia’s younger siblings.
Further details about Pulcinella are still extremely scarce.
Sandrone
Sandrone, codenamed Marionette, lives up to her doll title by being accompanied by a mega Rune Guard-looking creature.
Her rank within the Fatui Harbingers is unknown, but she is known for her research on Automatons — hence the rather tame robot by her side. She doesn’t get along with Tartaglia but the reason is unknown, and Scaramouche deems her automation creations as garbage.
Scaramouche
Scaramouche is one of the most highly anticipated character releases. Scaramouche, otherwise known as Wanderer, is one of the most well-known Fatui Harbingers. Players have multiple run-ins with the puppet created by Ei, the leader of Inazuma, throughout their journey in Genshin Impact.
He became a playable character during the game’s 3.3 update, and a rerun banner was made available for players to reroll on from July – August 2023.
Tartaglia
Tartaglia, also known as Childe, is the lead Fatui Harbinger in Genshin Impact’s story despite being the lowest ranked of the 12 (now 11). He’s rather ambitious and always up for a fight — and you can even take him on in the Liyue boss fight.
He has a deceptive personality with a bubbly exterior, but deep inside who knows what he’s plotting?
