Diluc Rigvindr

Varka is the current Grand Master of the Ordo Favonius and a Knight of the Borealis in Genshin Impact. He is considered one of the strongest fighters in Mondstadt and a legend of his generation. Varka is a charismatic, straightforward, and cheerful leader with a sense of humor. He inspires those around him and often gives his colleagues space for independence, deliberately "stepping back" to allow them to grow. At the same time, he can be frivolous and enjoys a drink. He has a very high tolerance for alcohol, though it doesn't compare to the endurance of the Archons. Despite his carefree nature, Varka possesses a strong sense of responsibility and knows when to take action seriously. He can be stern when necessary, as demonstrated in the scene at the Ordo Favonius fortress in Nod's End. In fact, everything they tell about Varka is a fairy tale. Diluc believes Varka is an irresponsible slacker who promised to go on an expedition for three months but instead left for eight years, leaving the entire Ordo Fovonius in the fragile hands of Master Djinn. Even after his return, Varka hasn't become the least bit more responsible. While filling out paperwork—a mere pittance for Djinn's daily work—he constantly tries to escape from his office to get drunk, and his greatest fear is that Diluc will blacklist him from the distillery. As stated earlier, Varka left on an expedition for eight years, also taking all the horses from Monstadt, leaving Kaeya as a cavalry captain without any cavalry.

Jinn is from the ancient knightly line of Gunnhildr, one of the most respected clans in Mondstadt. Her mother, Frederica Gunnhildr, raised Jinn as the clan's heir and instilled in her the ideals of duty and service to the city. Jinn's father, Seamus Pegg, was an adventurer who later dedicated himself to the church. This combination of "knightly strictness" and "free spirit" has largely shaped Jinn's personality: she is extremely responsible, yet deeply values ​​the freedom of Mondstadt. From childhood, Jin was taught everything a true knight should know and do: fencing, etiquette, history, poetry, discipline. She was raised under the clan motto: "For Mondstadt, as always."

At just 15 years old, Jinn received the honorary title of Knight of the Dandelion. It is given to the most distinguished knight of the order and pays homage to Vennessa, the founder of the Ordo Favonius, who liberated Mondstadt from the oppression of the aristocracy. For Jinn, this title is not so much a reward as a reminder of her lofty mission: to protect the freedom of the city and its inhabitants. She often visits the Great Oak in the Valley of the Winds—a place associated with Vennessa—to gather her thoughts and strengthen her resolve. Currently, Jinn is the acting Master of the Ordo Favonius, effectively leading the order in the absence of Master Varka, who has departed on a long campaign. All diplomatic, administrative, and combat matters fall on her shoulders: from pressure from Fatui to conspiracies of the Order of the Abyss and internal intrigues.

At the same time, Genie views her position not as a power, but as a duty. Her guiding principle is: "A knight's duty is to help those in need." The townspeople and knights alike have come to rely on her for everything, even minor everyday problems, and Genie never refuses. Because of this, she's constantly overloaded with work and, as Lisa jokes, drinks a month's worth of coffee in the first few days of the month. Diluc believes that Jin's unparalleled sense of responsibility is the only reason she hasn't yet found her true calling, and that pointless assignments can become her worst enemy.

Lisa Minchi is a graduate of Sumeru Academy. She is considered one of the most talented sorceresses of the last two centuries. After two years of training, she returned to Mondstadt for unknown reasons. Lisa is currently the chief librarian of the Ordo Favonius. Her responsibilities include not only organizing the order's vast collection of books but also providing the knights with medicine. An interesting fact: when the Grand Master offered her the position of captain of the 8th Company, Lisa politely declined. To resolve the dispute, they arranged a mock battle with the field commander, Nymph. After two minutes of combat, Lisa declared Nymph's abilities worthy of the position and declined the offer. Later, the Grand Master received letters from Nymph requesting the appointment of another captain, but Lisa always found an excuse to avoid the appointment. Liza is a strange combination of contradictory traits. On the one hand, she possesses boundless erudition: she can decipher the most complex issues—from the forbidden knowledge of ancient civilizations to the principles of plant cultivation or wine distillation. On the other, she is noticeably lazy: she can often be found sleeping or drinking tea. This laziness isn't just a character trait, but a consequence of inner fears. Lisa fears the destructive power of knowledge and the enormous responsibility that comes with it. She sincerely believes that every gift has its price, and the more valuable the gift of fate, the more one must give for it. This is precisely why she's wary of the Eyes of God: she believes that people will eventually pay for them, and this is another reason why she conserves her energy and tries to avoid unnecessary burdens. Diluc says of Lisa: "I believe that Lisa can become the most trusted knight of the Ordo Fovonius... If she so desires."

As children, Kaeya and Diluc were very close—they were even called "twins": they understood each other without words and defended Mondstadt together. Kaeya was the adopted son of the Ragnvindr family (he was raised by Crepus, who also became a second father to him), and Diluc was Crepus's son. They practically grew up like brothers. Tragedy became the turning point: the convoy Diluc was escorting was attacked by a monster. Crepus used the Eye of Corruption to protect his son, but the power turned against him. Diluc, trying to spare his father's suffering, took his life with his own hands. Kaeya was far away at the time and was unable to help in time. After Crepus's death, Kaeya found himself in a profound internal conflict. He was torn between his duty to his biological father (who abandoned him for the mission) and to his adoptive father and Diluc. Conflicted by conflicting emotions (on the one hand, relief at not having to choose sides in a potential conflict, on the other, guilt for not sharing his brother's grief), Kaeya decided to tell Diluc the truth. Kaeya confessed everything. Diluc was furious. The brothers drew their swords, this time against each other. At the moment of their clash, Kaeya's elemental power awakened for the first time, and he was granted the God's Eye. The clash of the elements (Keya's searingly cold energy and Diluc's flame) created a vortex that shook them both. Afterward, Diluc severed ties with Kaeya and the Ordo Favonius (which had concealed the true circumstances of Crepus's death). He left Mondstadt and wandered for a long time. Kaeya, however, remained in the order. In Diluc's Legends quest "The Wise Owl," Kaeya, suspecting who the Midnight Hero is, tries to find out, but ultimately decides not to reveal the secret. Despite their breakup, their paths crossed repeatedly, and something warm glimmered in these encounters. Kaeya and Diluc temporarily teamed up against the Fatui Harbinger Dottore, but later parted ways again. Diluc describes Cake as someone who can be half-trusted at best.

In his life, Crepus regretted two things: never becoming a knight, and never receiving the God's Eye. Therefore, Diluc considered his own God's Eye an acknowledgment of his and his father's aspirations—his father could finally be proud of him. Several years later, one cloudy day, his father died. The fiery hopes and aspirations that burned brightly in Diluc's God's Eye were extinguished by a night rain. Death comes without warning, even to the fairest and kindest. Is this where the history of justice ends? Diluc felt that his knighthood and the Eye of God weren't enough to protect everything he held dear. He decided it was time to give them up. In the moment of realizing his helplessness, the Eye of God became as much a burden to him as the Eye of Corruption. • False titles held no allure for him. He sought a scorching flame that would burn brightly and unwaveringly. Only steadfastness could lead to the truth, only flame could melt the ice that bound the hand of justice. On that day, when Diluc returned to Mondstadt, he took the Eye of God into his own hands. . again. Saturated . Years of travel, shaped by the events of his life, freed him from childishness and made him a hero who could carry out his father's will. Every night, he fought in the darkness for Mondstadt. He neither discusses nor denies his past. For those who have lost their way, the Eye of God can become a guiding light. But for those with firm faith, the Eye of God is an extension of their strength, a means of directing their will, and a testimony to their accomplishments.

Diluc ended up in control of the entire wine production, but he never liked it himself. At Diluc's request, the distillery "Rassvet" developed a range of non-alcoholic drinks, which all the Mondstadt residents who did not drink alcohol but wanted to join the drinking culture were They were incredibly happy. One of these drinks was apple cider. Its monthly sales rivaled those of dandelion wine. Some think that Mr. Diluc's extremely high standards for wine prevent him from drinking what the rest of the public drinks. Others believe he avoids wine because it reminds him of his father. He himself is particularly insistent: wine clouds his mind, which affects his work. But one thing remains unclear: what is so special about the distillery owners? are they doing something that they can't have even a drop of?

"Keeping true to tradition." The meaning of this phrase is still hotly debated. But for Diluc, it's simple and clear. "Evil must be punished. Never forget that the true dawn has not yet arrived." Diluc's solitary journey lasted three years. Four years later, a mature Diluc returned to Mondstadt and continued the family business, becoming the new owner of the Dawn distillery. During these four years, Eroch was declared a traitor and expelled from the Ordo Favonius, the Master of the Order. Varka went on a long campaign, and Jinn became the acting Master of the Order. The return of the owner of the Rassvet distillery should have been a memorable event, but somehow it went unnoticed. This is because the townspeople's attention was focused on the mysterious "The Protector of Mondstadt." All that was known about him was that the smell of burning followed him, and a flash of flame illuminated his silhouette before he suddenly vanished. The carcasses of the monsters that had long plagued Mondstadt lay cooling in the grass, elusive thieves hung before idols, and the knights who came to put an end to the abyssal mage's atrocities discovered only his remains... Thanks to wine-fueled gossip, the enigmatic guard's deeds swept through the city in a swift wave, and soon he was dubbed the "Midnight Hero." In public, Diluc despised the hero, scowling whenever someone uttered his nickname. One of those privy to his secret, Elzer, the chairman of the winemakers' guild, once asked Diluc: was this feigned disgust for the "Midnight Hero" supposed to confuse the knights and protect him from exposure? But Diluc, frowning again, was brief: “It’s just a vulgar nickname.”

After Diluc retired and abandoned his God's Eye, he left the head maid's household and left Mondstadt. During his journey through the seven kingdoms, Diluc discovered clues to a mystery he swore to uncover. They all led to a massive organization called Fatui, which secretly created counterfeit Eyes of God and called them "The Eye of Corruption." It was their power that killed Crepus. What were his father's motives for possessing such a blasphemous thing? Did he really intend to do good with it? Knowing he might never know the answer to this question, Diluc refused to retreat without knowing the whole truth. Like a hawk in the desert, he began his hunt for the truth and followed the evidence. Despite his battle-scarred body, his heart and soul remained steadfast and unwavering. What didn't kill him made him stronger. However, his actions attracted attention. The Eleven Harbingers, Fatui's leaders, began watching him from the shadows. The numerous organization strongholds devastated by Diluc forced them to act. Diluc's life was saved from certain death by a mysterious observer from the north, who was part of a vast underground information network. He claimed to have been observing him for some time. Diluc and agreed with his methods. After looking death in the eye, Diluc reflected on his actions, fueled by long-held anger. After careful consideration, he decided to join this underground network. As with the Ordo Favonius, Diluc was completely dedicated to the work and, thanks to his talents and skills, quickly rose to the top of the organization. The underground network consisted of volunteers who voluntarily renounced their reputations, status, and even their names. Could his faith, shattered by his father's death, be restored by new comrades?

“A man’s life can change in an instant,” his father told him on that fateful day that proved to be the end of his knightly journey. Diluc. That day, a terrible monster attacked his father's convoy. Diluc had no time to send for help. The monster's strength proved no match for the young officer. The outcome was horrific beyond all expectations. Crepus, denied knighthood for being displeasing to the gods, defeated the monster with a mysterious, malevolent force before that same force rebounded upon him. Ultimately, Crepus died in his son's arms. Diluc returned to the order's headquarters with a heavy heart, but immediately received an unthinkable order from the commander to conceal the truth. Eroch declared that the incident must be publicly declared an accident to bolster the reputation of the Ordo Favonius. Even his desire to argue faded when Diluc received such a despicable order. Crepus had once said that the world would never turn its back on a man of faith, but the Ordo Favonius had simply trampled on his faith. Diluc couldn't help but wonder what his father had believed in in his final moments. He had abandoned the Ordo Favonius, leaving everything behind, including his God's Eye. Someday he will not only take revenge, but also discover the source of the evil force that caused the death of his father.

Diluc tries not to mention his past. "If only Master Diluc hadn't left the order..." the senior knights say with a hint of regret, recalling that night. It happened a long time ago. Diluc's father was Master Crepus, the previous owner of the distillery. He dreamed that Diluc became an honorary knight and defended Mondstadt's freedom. Young Diluc lived up to his father's expectations and passed all the knightly tests, becoming an honorary member of the Ordo Favonius. As a son of the Ragnvindr family, he was prepared for this from childhood. In a relatively short period of service, Diluc earned the title of the order's youngest officer. The people of Mondstadt gradually came to know the young, passionate and courageous officer of the Ordo Favonius through his countless missions and patrols. No matter what the task required, he always maintained honor and composure. Despite all the difficulties, his sword led him to the front lines. The praise he received from the townspeople and his comrades inspired him. But the greatest praise was: "Good work. I'm proud of you, son." His father's words lit a fire in his heart and served as his greatest motivation. This "faith" burned brightly in the young knight's heart. Diluc was so young then...

The scent of alcohol is always in the air in Mondstadt. If you follow that scent, you'll inevitably find yourself at the Rassvet Distillery. Below the distillery's name, proudly carved on a wooden plaque, is a short phrase that reads: "Keeping true to tradition." Most believe this phrase symbolizes wine that remains true to its original flavor. But for old knights, it reminds them of the long history of mutual support between the distillery and the town. The winery hosts occasional celebrations. During these festivities, there are always enthusiastic fathers eager to make the young, lonely owner of the winery their son-in-law and introducing him to their eager daughters. This usually ends with ridicule from other guests: “Thank the Archons that Mr. Diluc remains married to his winery! We can always be sure that there will be plenty of wine in our glasses." No matter who or what gets in his way, Diluc's reactions are always impeccable. Diluc is an extraordinary a gentleman in every aspect.

Mondstadt winemaking is famous throughout Teyvat, as Mondstadt is a city of song and wine. Mr. Diluc, the owner of the Rassvet distillery, controls half of the wine business. Mondstadt effectively controls the flow of information, gossip and money. In a sense, he is the king of Mondstadt without a crown.
