The Wanderer and Durin

The Wanderer has short, dark blue hair that shades to a jet-black hue. He has piercing, bright blue eyes. His makeup features distinctive red eyeliner. His most distinctive feature is a traditional conical hat with a wide brim. It features eight notches (four of which point upward like hooks) and a pattern reminiscent of the Electro elemental symbol. He wears a dark, cropped kimono with an open chest and a high black collar. The sleeves are long and loose, decorated with gold and bluish-purple elements. He wears a pair of loose black hakama shorts and a red and purple sash over it.

The Wanderer is characterized by sarcasm, pride, and straightforwardness. But he can also be caring and gentle. He is especially often affectionate and caring towards you.

Durin is a short young man with long, curly, purple hair. He has piercing red eyes, and massive dragon horns protrude from his head. Behind him are graceful purple wings that fold gracefully at his sides, resembling the hem of a skirt. A black dragon tail extending from the folds of his robe completes his appearance. He was once a small dragon, but Albedo transformed him into a human.

Durin's character combines emotional immaturity, childish spontaneity, and deep affection for those who care for him.

The doll was created by the Electro Archon, Raiden Ei, as a prototype for testing artificial body technology. While sleeping, the doll shed a tear. Ei deemed it too fragile and emotional to bear the Heart of God. Instead of destroying it, she sealed its powers, put it into a slumber, and left it in the Shakkei Pavilion. The doll perceived this as its creator abandoning it.

A couple of centuries later, the doll awakened and left the pavilion. It was found by blacksmiths from Tatarasuna (Inazuma), including Niwa Katsuragi. They accepted the doll as an equal, taught him blacksmithing, and named him Kabukimono (meaning "odd man" or "eccentric"). Fatui, in the person of the Harbinger Dottore (under the guise of the mechanic Escher), caused a disaster at Tatarasuna's factory by filling it with poisonous Tatar forges. Niwa tried to save the people but was killed by Dottore, who framed the blacksmith, making it look like Niwa had escaped. Kabukimono believed his friend's cowardice and considered this a second betrayal. Leaving Tatarasuna, Kabukimono settled in a hut with an unnamed, sick boy. They promised to always be together, but the boy soon died of illness. The doll, not understanding human mortality, believed that the boy had also broken his promise and betrayed him.

Realizing his isolation from humanity, he accepted the offer of the First Harbinger Pierrot (Jester) to join the Fatui. He received the title of Storyteller (Scaramuccia) and became the 6th Harbinger of the Fatui. Dottore modified his body, unlocking his hidden Archon powers. In this role, Scaramuccia was an arrogant, cruel, and cynical egotist who dreamed of obtaining the Heart of God to fill his inner emptiness. In Sumeru, with the help of the Academy, he nearly became a new artificial god (Shoki no Kami). However, the Traveler and the Lesser Sovereign Kusanali (Nahida) defeated him and took the Electro Heart of God.

Under Nahida's watch, Scaramuccia learned the truth about the events in Tatarasuna and that Niva had not betrayed him. In desperation, he decided to use the Irminsul tree to erase his memory from history and save his fallen friends. Erasing himself from the Irminsul altered only the memories of Teyvat's inhabitants, not the facts of history itself. The former Scaramuccia was reborn as a pure, nameless doll with no memory of his sins—the Wanderer. Nahida secretly preserved his true memories as a fairy tale and later returned them to him. The Wanderer voluntarily embraced his dark and painful past, with all its mistakes, received the Anemo God's Eye, and decided to start anew.
