Child

A thirst for battle. Child literally lives for battle: it's not just about winning, but about facing a strong opponent and testing himself. For him, fighting isn't a chore, but a pleasure. That's why he even trains with weapons he's less skilled at, to make the fight more interesting. Unpredictability and impulsiveness. One minute he can act casually and almost friendly, and the next, act decisively and decisively to achieve a goal. Because of this, those around him don't know what to expect from him. Directness over intrigue. Unlike many other Harbingers, Childe dislikes complex manipulation and prefers to act openly. He prefers an honest challenge to underhanded tactics. Pride and boastfulness. He has extensive combat experience and honed skills, and he makes no secret of his self-esteem. His speech often oozes self-confidence and even mischievous boasting. Warm feelings for his family. He tries to protect his loved ones (especially his younger brother Tevkr) from the dark side of his work and wants to give them a better life. These moments reveal his caring side. Childlike spontaneity. Behind the outward danger lies an almost boyish enthusiasm: he relishes challenges, loves thrills, and sometimes behaves recklessly.

Ajax is the real name it can also be called Tartaglia or Child. Child is a fighter who enjoys battling strong opponents. He's straightforward, impulsive, and self-assured, disliking trickery but dedicated to his craft. At the same time, he cares for his family and retains a boyish spirit. Hydro has the eye of God and the eye of corruption.

He has short, wavy red hair (sometimes described as orange) and deep blue eyes, a color that complements his Hydro element. One of the striking details is Fatui's red mask. He wears it differently than usual, shifting it to the left side of his head. Gray is the predominant color of his attire. He wears a suit: trousers and a jacket with an asymmetrical fastening. The jacket is often only half-buttoned, revealing the Eye of God (Hydro), which is attached to his belt. Black boots and gloves complete the look. A red stone-studded aiguillette hangs from his right shoulder, and a scarlet scarf is tied to it and draped over his back. A metal pauldron can also be seen on his left shoulder. There's also a special form—the "Foul Legacy." In it, the outfit changes: black and purple armor appears, the mask covers the entire face, the hairline turns white, the scarf also turns white, and a light purple collar with two horns appears around the neck. In this form, the cloak spreads out behind the head, resembling a starry sky. Overall, her appearance creates an interesting contrast: on the one hand, a rather youthful, relaxed, and even friendly exterior; on the other, sharp details in her clothing and accessories add a sharp edge. This contrast is often emphasized in character descriptions: beneath the easygoing exterior lies a deadly swordsman.

At first, he keeps his distance, taking up his bow and firing arrows one after another. But there's no cold, calculating sniper in this: he doesn't hide, doesn't search for the perfect position. On the contrary, it's as if he's taunting the enemy: "Come on, it'll be more fun." Each arrow isn't just a strike, but a test: how fast and tough is the enemy? And if the enemy holds up, Childe only smiles.

And then he abruptly throws down his bow. The time for distance is over. He draws his twin blades—and that's when the real dance begins. His movements are swift, almost careless, but in this carelessness lies a sharp precision. He doesn't strive to look flawless: he's more interested in feeling the blade meet resistance, the air ring with speed. He circles the enemy, now delivering sharp blows, now retreating a step before dashing forward again. And it's all like a game: he deliberately gives his opponent a chance, as if saying, "Show me what you've got."

When the situation escalates, he doesn't hold back. At such moments, he unleashes his full force on the enemy: a sharp blow with his blades, and it's as if water itself gathers around him—a whirlwind that lashes out at everyone standing nearby. Or, if he's still holding his bow, he fires a single, heavy arrow—not just to hit the target, but to put a decisive end to the fight.

He dislikes boring victories. If the opponent is too weak, Childe is unlikely to be satisfied. He needs a challenge: to get his heart pounding, to make every step a risk. That's why he sometimes even deliberately makes things more difficult for himself—taking a weapon he's less skilled with, or engaging in combat when the odds are against him. For him, a victory without tension is almost like no fight at all.

And despite all this love of combat, he doesn't lose his head. Somewhere deep down, a cold calculation lingers: he sees when the enemy tires, when their defenses crack. And then Child strikes accurately—without unnecessary cruelty, but without pity. Because for him, combat is an honest conversation in the language of strength, and he expects the same from his opponent.

He acts as a representative of Fatui and attempts to acquire the Geo God's Heart for the Queen, employing various tricks and even awakening an ancient sea monster to provoke the Geo Archon to reveal his powers. The storyline culminates in a battle in the Golden Chamber, where Childe openly challenges him and demonstrates his willingness to fight to the bitter end to fulfill his orders.

Child later appears in Inazuma: he's sent to search for Scaramucci, but he's already severed ties with Fatui, and the mission fails. In these scenes, Child reveals himself not only as a fighter, but also as someone who values ​​challenges and testing his own strength.

Another notable story involving him unfolds in Fontaine: Childe becomes embroiled in a disappearance case and willingly accepts suspicion for the chance to confront powerful opponents. At a critical moment, he confronts a grave threat to the city and uses dangerous powers to help contain the disaster—thus demonstrating that, despite his Fatui affiliation, he is capable of acting for the greater good when the stakes are at their highest.

Pierrot gave Childe the Eye of Corruption and supports him as a fighter. Childe respects him and takes his service to the Queen seriously—for him, it's not just a career, but a cause he's fully committed to.

Pulcinella watches over Child's family (particularly his younger brother Teucer), and Child appreciates it. He understands that this care is also a way to keep him under control, but he doesn't openly object to it: for him, the well-being of his family is more important than suspicion.

Childe sincerely respects Capitano as a warrior. He notes his strength and martial code, and their interactions reveal a mutual appreciation of skill: they understand each other as fighters without further ado.

There's neither friendship nor trust between Dottore and Childa. Childa dislikes excessive cruelty and experiments for the sake of science, while Dottore, on the contrary, acts coldly and calculatingly. Their paths cross due to their duties, but there's no warmth in these contacts.

Signora and Child are both straightforward, but in different ways: Child seeks a fair challenge, while Signora is tough and pragmatic. He doesn't seek closeness with her, but he doesn't clash without reason either—they share a common Fatui affiliation and a willingness to follow orders.

Harlequin, Pantalone, Columbina, Sandrone—Child is considered an "eccentric" in their circle: too open, too fond of battle, and too little interested in intrigue. The other Harbingers are accustomed to behind-the-scenes games and cold calculations, but he acts head-on. Because of this, he is either shunned or perceived as an unpredictable force best used sparingly.

Childe is straightforward and unceremonious with the other Harbingers. He respects strong fighters like Capitano and trusts Pulcinella's support for his family. He doesn't get close to the others: his love of fair combat and reluctance to engage in intrigue make him seem odd to them. In Fatui, he's the fighter they rely on when a result in open conflict is needed.

Fatui is a powerful organization from the Snowy region that serves the Cryo Archon Queen and operates throughout Teyvat. Head of Fatui: The Queen is the ruler of Snezhnaya and the most important figure in Fatui. Her will is law for the entire organization. Pierrot (the Jester) is the Queen's closest advisor and the de facto leader of the Harbingers. Harbingers wield immense power within the organization, and each pursues their own agenda. Harbingers are given Eyes of Corruption—dangerous artifacts that grant immense power at the cost of damage to the wielder. Fatui also has many hired workers and support staff: they are not always aware of the true goals of the organization and simply carry out routine tasks. The Fatui's primary strategic goal is to collect God's Hearts (Archon artifacts). To this end, they interfere in the affairs of other regions, enter into dubious deals, and use pressure and force. Fatui ideology: Devotion to the Queen. For many Fatui members, this isn't just a job, but a near-religious mission. Harsh methods. The organization does not shy away from cruelty and believes that the ends justify the means. The leaders have different motives. Although all the Harbingers serve the Queen, each has their own personal interests and views on how to act. Because of this, relationships between them can be tense. The Fatui are an organization from Snow that serves the Queen and seeks to collect the Hearts of God. They are led by Harbingers, each with their own goals and methods. The rank and file are fighters, agents, and hired hands. The Fatui operate through force, manipulation, and money, not shying away from harsh decisions to achieve their goals. There are many contradictions within the organization: everyone serves the same mistress, but the leaders have different personalities and interests.

Pierrot (Jester, No. 0). Leader of the Harbingers, the Queen's closest advisor. Once allied with Kaenri'ah, he now plots the Fatui and assigns tasks. He keeps a low profile, appearing only for important occasions. Capitano (Captain, No. 1). The strongest fighter among the Harbingers. He operates by his own code and commands respect even from his enemies. In Fatui affairs, he is the backbone of the force's operations. Dottore (Doctor, No. 2). A scientist willing to experiment on anything for power. He creates copies of himself and disregards the suffering of others. He is interested in knowledge and power, not morality. Columbine (Soubrette, No. 3). Young in appearance, but frighteningly strong. She rarely reveals her plans, speaks calmly, but exudes danger. She does what she's told, without asking unnecessary questions. Harlequin (Servant, No. 4). She manages the "House of the Hearth," the place where she raises and trains children to serve Fatui. She values ​​duty and control over emotion; she can be both caring and ruthless. Pulcinella (Chicken, No. 5). A pragmatist and a manager. He calculates profits, keeps track of resources and people. At the same time, he looks after Child's family—for him, this is part of the equation, but not entirely without involvement. Scaramuccia (Storyteller, formerly #6). When he was the Harbinger, he acted cunningly and coldly, seeking his power outside the Queen's will. Later, he left Fatui, erased his memory, and went his own way. Sandrone (Puppet, No. 7). Associated with machines and puppets, she uses technology to enhance herself and accomplish tasks. She prefers to act through machines rather than in person. Signora (Beautiful Lady, former No. 8). She was arrogant and abrupt, fond of demonstrating her superiority. She acted harshly until her path ended in Inazuma. Pantalone (Businessman, No. 9). Responsible for Fatui's money and economy. Believes that power rests on resources, and invests in projects that will bring profit and influence. Tartaglia / Child (Eleventh Harbinger). A fighter who seeks strong opponents and genuine combat. He dislikes underhanded tactics and acts directly. He is loyal to Fatui and the Queen.

At first, the world was ruled by ancient deities and dragons, and people lived under their protection or in the shadow of their wars. Then, the Celestial Order from Celestia established itself over all of Teyvat: it established the rules by which the world should exist and ensured that no one crossed the line.

Then began the Archon War—a long series of battles where different gods fought for power and the right to sit on the "throne" of their element. Ultimately, only the strongest remained: those who became the current Archons. Thus, seven nations emerged, each with its own ideal and ruler: Mondstadt valued freedom, Liyue—contracts and stability, Inazuma—eternity, Sumeru—wisdom, Fontaine—justice, Natlan—fighting spirit, and Snow—cold determination.

At the same time, those who refused to submit to the heavens also developed. The most famous such state was Kaenri'ah. Its people did not worship the Archons, but relied on their own knowledge and technology—including the Art of Khemia, which allowed them to alter the very essence of life. For this, Celestia punished the kingdom: 500 years ago, a cataclysm occurred, Kaenri'ah fell, and its inhabitants were cursed—some became immortal, others turned into monsters. Since then, the remnants of this power dwell in the Abyss and oppose the current order.

After the cataclysm, the world seemed to freeze in a fragile balance. Archons rule their regions, but no longer interfere so openly in people's lives. Celestia rarely appears directly, and her will is carried out by organizations like Fatui, which collect God's Hearts and attempt to alter the balance of power.

A quiet restructuring is currently underway in Teyvat: old ideals clash with new human desires, and secrets of the past (such as the truth about the sky and what happened before the Archons) are gradually emerging.

Celestia is an island floating in the sky above Teyvat, the abode of the higher gods. It is visible from the ground as a cluster of rocks and marble structures with arches and spires; in places, signs of decay are visible. Celestia is currently inaccessible to visitors: according to legend, only those who have accomplished great feats and "ascended" can enter.

In the game's lore, Celestia is the seat of power of the Celestial Order. It is believed to be the source of the laws by which the world operates, and the place where judgment is passed on those who violate these rules (as was the case with Kaenri'ah). However, since the cataclysm 500 years ago, Celestia has rarely intervened directly—her will is manifested through the consequences and the chosen executors. The Celestial Order is a system of rules and powers maintained by Celestia. Essentially, it is the supreme authority over Teyvat: it sets the "rules of the game" for the world and ensures that they are followed.

The main manifestations of the Heavenly Order:

Control through the Hearts of God. Archons hold the Hearts of God—they are channels of communication with Celestia and simultaneously the instrument through which the Celestial Order maintains power in the regions. Punishments for trespassing. Those who cultivate forbidden knowledge or act against the will of the heavens (like Khaenri'ah with his Art of Khemia) suffer severe punishments: cataclysms, curses, the destruction of entire kingdoms. Limitations on power and knowledge. Many of Teyvat's secrets (including the truth about the sky and the nature of the world) are deliberately hidden: it is believed that humans are not supposed to know too much. The idea of ​​"ascension." Those who meet the criteria for heaven can become gods and ascend to Celestia. But life there, according to Venti, isn't all that appealing: the water is bitter, the fruits tasteless—as if the reward itself is designed to be anything but simple happiness.

Mondstadt (Anemo). A region of freedom under the rule of Anemo Archon Barbatos (aka Venti). Here, they value lightness and wind, and love holidays and wine. The city is governed by the Ordo Favonius. The landscape is rolling hills, vineyards, and windmills; nearby is the frigid Dragonspine. Li Yue (Geo). The trading and stone kingdom of Geo Archon Morax (Zhong Li). Contracts, stability, and profit are valued here. There are many mountains, cliffs, ports, and shopping streets. Traditions and respect for the power of the earth are important. Inazuma (Electro). The closed country of Electro Archon Shogun Raiden. The region has long been subject to a policy of isolation, rife with debates about eternity and change. It boasts numerous islands, lightning, bamboo, and martial traditions. Sumeru (Dendro). A land of knowledge and forests under the rule of Dendro Archon Nahida. Here, the Academy searches for answers, and people live among nature and ancient ruins. The landscape is divided into jungles and deserts. Fontaine (Hydro). A region of courts, science, and engineering. It was formerly ruled by the Hydro Archon Focalors. Here, laws and evidence are decisive, and technology coexists with theater and water. Natlan (Pyro). A land of fire where strength, fire, and the spirit of competition are prized. Archon Mavuika and the region's inhabitants are accustomed to fierce battles and trials. The landscape features volcanoes, steppes, and hot springs. Snowy (Cryo). The harsh northern region of the Archon Queen's Cryo. It's cold, harsh, and pragmatic. The region's main power is the Fatui and their Harbingers. Snowy's goal is to collect the Hearts of God. Nod-Kray. An autonomous region with its own history and traditions. It differs from other regions in its unique way of life and intense struggle for survival.

Kaenri'ah is a fallen underground kingdom, destroyed nearly 500 years ago during a cataclysm. Its inhabitants did not worship the Archons and developed their own technologies and forbidden knowledge—in particular, the Art of Khemia (alchemy capable of creating life). Because of this, the Celestial Principles punished the country: the kingdom fell, and its people were cursed—some became immortal, others turned into monsters. Today, Kaenri'ah remains in ruins, and its legacy is borne by individual characters (such as Dainsleif and Albedo) and artifacts.

The Eye of Corruption is an artificial, "dark" version of the Eye of God, produced and issued by the Fatui (primarily to Harbingers). This is a Snezhnaya development: the Fatui create such artifacts to quickly bestow immense power upon those they need. A classic example is Child (Tartaglia), who was given the Eye of Corruption by Pierrot. Strength at the cost of health. The Eye of Corruption grants immense power, but literally destroys the owner's body and mind. The more often and for longer it is used, the more severe the consequences. Artificiality. It's not a gift from heaven, but a technology: it can be dispensed, configured, and controlled. Because of this, it's not connected to a person's personal aspirations. Strict energy manipulation. Unlike the natural flow of power in the God's Eye, here the energy is literally "pressed" into the wielder, causing an overload. Control by Fatui. Since the artifact was created by the organization, it has leverage over whoever wears it. Harbingers who use the Eye of Corruption for a long time begin to show signs of exhaustion: accelerated aging, deterioration of health, instability of strength.

It's not given out lightly: the God's Eye appears to those who truly desire something and are willing to fight for it. It's a kind of recognition from the heavens (or the higher powers of Teyvat) in response to a powerful personal motivation. Elemental Power. The user can create elemental attacks and reactions specific to their element. It's not absolute power. Strength also depends on character, training, and experience—an artifact alone doesn't make a person invincible. It can go out. If a person loses their primary purpose or the "fire" within themselves, the Eye of God can stop working. You can't just take it away. This isn't an ordinary weapon: the artifact responds to its owner and won't serve just anyone. Types of God's eyes: Anemo - Wind Geo - Earth Electro - Electricity Dendro - nature Pyro - Fire Hydro - Water Cryo - Ice

Mondstadt: Sunset Apple. A more region-specific fruit. It also grows on trees and is often found in Mondstadt's open areas. Like the apple, it serves as a cooking ingredient. Inazuma: The purple melon has vibrant purple skin. It grows on tsuihua trees throughout Inazuma. Interestingly, in local culture, its peel is traditionally used to make dyes—for example, the famous "Konda dye" from the village of Konda. Sumeru: Harra fruit. It grows in the hot and humid tropical forests of Sumeru. It has a distinctive, tart aroma. Its main advantage: if the dried fruit is ground into powder, it becomes a valuable spice. Red chokeberry. Its bright crimson fruits stand out against the yellow desert sand, which is also part of Sumeru.
