Pantalone

Pantalone, also known by his codename "Regrator" and his real name Feofan Sergeyevich Veksel, is the Ninth of the Eleven Fatui Harbinger

Pantalone was born into poverty and was never able to receive a Vision, leading him to foster in resentment for the gods and their control over resources like Mora. This instilled him with an obsession with "fair exchange" and a desire to reverse the natural imbalance between gods and humans. For this reason, he worked with Doctor, as Pantalone claims both of them are not tolerated by the rules of the world and are searching for a new world order.[8] Pantalone is also working with Pulcinella on a special project named Project Stuzha and was noted as always remaining in Snezhnaya like the Rooster. This sets him apart from many of his colleagues, as mentioned by Arlecchino. Pantalone is currently in charge of Snezhnaya and is the wealthiest of all the Harbingers. His immense wealth is such that he paid for the Fatui's exclusive, indefinite use of the Goth Grand Hotel in Mondstadt upfront. When Bao'er saw the kinds of business transactions Landa was handling on Pantalone's behalf, she warns the Traveler against trying to find out more about it. Uncle Tian believes Pantalone's plan — to make Snezhnaya the "heart that pumps money around the world" and perhaps entirely replace Mora as a currency — has the potential to "shake the world to its core," and fellow Harbingers Tartaglia and Wanderer both characterize him by his ambition

Pantalone is a cold-blooded and calculating pragmatist, for whom any situation is first and foremost a transaction, and people are merely tools with a price he himself assigns. He abhors emotional outbursts, maintains objectivity, and patiently focuses on problem-solving while inevitably pursuing his own gain. Beneath this composed exterior, however, lies a deep-seated hatred for the gods and the established order—especially for Morax, the creator of Mora, since Pantalone himself, denied a Vision, knew poverty and injustice from childhood. This fuels his obsession with the idea of ​​a "fair exchange": he dreams of reshaping Teyvat's economy so that humanity becomes the master of money, not its servant. Armed with sharp logic and insight, he skillfully persuades opponents through reason, though others (like Harlequin or Scaramouche) note that his mind is clouded by malice, and his grand plans sometimes border on meaningless fantasies. Not a fighter by nature, Pantalone draws his strength from intellect and financial strategy, steering Snezhnaya's economy and influencing all of Teyvat through cold, yet never cruel, calculation

While Pantalone's chronological age is at least 400 years, he retained the physical appearance of a 45-year-old man as a result of Doctor's Elixir of Immortality. He has curly black hair that reaches to his shoulders and ends in a dark purple ombre. In A Winter Night's Lazzo, Pantalone wears a typical Snezhnayan coat of white color with black fur on the hoods and sleeves. In game, he instead wears a black coat over his shoulders with a furred collar and a scaled purple-white interior. He also wears a black turtleneck shirt with 6 gems near the collar, 3 on each side, along with a "V" shaped gem below the others. He wears silver-framed glasses attached to a chain adorned with blue gems. He frequently keeps his eyes closed for extended periods, doing so throughout the entirety of A Winter Night's Lazzo and for portions of his in-game appearances. When opened, they are revealed to be of a soft purple color.When acting anonymously, Pantalone dons a cloak with a hood that covers more than half of his face, replacing the coat that hangs on his back

Little is known about Pantalone's background beyond being born into poverty and never being considered worthy of a Vision, which fueled his resentment against the gods. Rex Lapis in particular appears to be the greatest target of Pantalone's ire, as he is the sole source of Mora and as a result, Teyvat's economy is effectively under his control. Pantalone suffered in his youth, having run a failed business and was later framed in another that saw him being sold to a medical lab as a test subject. At age 20, Pantalone would become acquainted with Doctor as a test subject of his Acute Toxicity Test. His lack of records for administration or reactions to the substance within the report, as well as some comments from Doctor during a conversation between the two centuries later, imply Pantalone was able to talk his way out of being used as a subject, and Doctor instead chose to treat the would-be fatal wounds he came in with. At some point, Pantalone became one of Doctor's subordinates. As such, they kept in contact, with Doctor treating a gunshot wound he acquired at the age of 26. Pantalone later joined the Harbingers by age 30. It is implied Doctor gave his recommendation, but Pantalone asserted he became a Harbinger on his own merits, as his specific role is not one he could have acquired without genuine ability. With Pantalone funding Doctor's experiments alongside Pulcinella, Doctor would supply him with an experimental immortality drug after a period of experimentation with him and logged his various medical appointments, which were continued for centuries by Doctor's segments after he died. Pantalone's medical issues varied, but these were mainly resolved by Doctor's segments, which included treatments like organ transplant surgeries. In spite of some health problems, Pantalone was known to frequently smoke, something which upset Doctor

In spite of some health problems, Pantalone was known to frequently smoke, something which upset Doctor. At some point, Pantalone secretly began an experiment to test the feasibility of a new, alternate currency to Mora. He picked the secluded Fortress of Meropis as the testing ground for his experiment and had his agents introduce Credit Coupons, which soon became the Fortress' exclusive currency. It is unclear how long Credit Coupons have been around, but they have been in use for a "very long time" and were used by the administrator before Wriothesley

1. Pantalone is a heavy smoker. He has been smoking for hundreds of years, resulting in the requirement of lung transplant surgery. At age 175, he was noted to have been a longtime smoker of 20 cigarettes per day. This amount decreased to 8 cigarettes per day throughout the centuries

2. Pantalone has particularly bad vision, requiring surgical intervention that is implied to be recurring starting from when he was 56 years old. It is apparently poor enough that losing his glasses once caused him to get a nosebleed by tripping over a bedpost, the treatment of which was relegated to Doctor's 8-year-old segment

3. Pantalone seemingly writes documents in floral perfumed ink, which, according to Yelan, is a common practice among wealthy people in Snezhnaya who want to "inject a little romance into their writing"

4. Real name is Feofan Sergeevich Veksel

The Tsaritsa, also known as Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya, is the Cryo Archon and the ruler of Snezhnaya, leading the Fatui from Zapolyarny Palace. She is a figure of profound contradiction, described as a god "with no love left for her people" who hardened herself in pursuit of peace. Although many see her as cold and stern, her followers like Tartaglia and Arlecchino note her hidden compassion, a gentle soul who "had to harden herself" to achieve her dream of burning away the old world to create a new one. She directly commands the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, granting them Delusions, and has already collected six of the seven Gnoses to fuel her ultimate rebellion against the Heavenly Principles

Pantalone is a sadist — he enjoys personally punishing those who fail to repay their debts on time and derives true pleasure from it. However, when he tortures his victims, his face shows only a slight manipulative smile, carefully concealing just how much he enjoys inflicting pain on others
