Pantalone

Columbine (real name Columbine Hyposelenia) is the third of the Fatui Harbingers, known as the "Soubrette" or "Young Maiden." She is one of the most enigmatic figures, whose fragile appearance conceals godlike power.

🎭 Appearance: Angelic doll

Columbine looks like a young girl with a fragile, almost delicate appearance:

Face and hair: Long dark hair with light highlights, covering the ears. The eyes are always covered with a light veil (similar to a net or a bandage).
· Headdress: An accessory in the form of white wings, reminiscent of seraphim.
Clothing: A formal white suit with black details and a bow, reminiscent of Fatui's military uniform. The plinths of the fairy statues have a similar pattern to her headband.

🧊 Character: Dangerously naive

Her behavior is a frightening contrast between childish spontaneity and complete detachment:

· Outwardly harmless: She appears sleepy, tired, even painfully weak. She's very polite, not rude even to her enemies, and killing is routine for her, "like getting wet in the rain."
· Frightening Unpredictability: Tartaglia is afraid to fight her, even though he wants to test the strength of all the higher-ranking Harbingers. The Wanderer advises the Traveler to stay away from "a girl who remains equally stupid, ignorant, and callous in any situation."
· An unusual friendship: Sandrone, despite being irritated by her antics (singing at the door, sleeping in her room), ends up covering Columbine with a blanket and listening to her past.

Harlequina (real name Peruer), the fourth of the Fatui Harbingers, known as the "Servant," is one of the most dangerous and charismatic antagonists, whose cruelty is masked by a cold nobility.

🎭 Appearance: Deadly elegance

Harlequina is distinguished by her androgynous, edgy beauty and strict style:

Face and Hair: Long gray or white hair, pulled back into a low ponytail, with black streaks. Piercing red eyes with cross-shaped pupils. A black eyepatch covers the right eye.
Attire: A black and white tuxedo-style tailcoat with a white shirt and black bow tie. Over this, a cape-like cloak with pointed shoulders.
Details: Long black gloves concealing her hands and a cane that transforms into a blade in combat. Her God's Eye (Pyro) and Delishion are concealed within the cane's structure. The overall appearance is that of an icy aristocrat with predatory grace.

🧊 Personality: An icy strategist without unnecessary emotions

Harlequin is the embodiment of self-control and efficiency:

· Pragmatic to the point of cruelty: She doesn't kill for pleasure, but will destroy anyone who interferes with her goals without hesitation. Her decisions are cold-blooded, and emotions are merely a tool of manipulation.
· Loyalty to the Queen: Unlike other Harbingers, she does not scheme for power. Her goal is to expand Fatui's influence, and her methods are impeccable.
Hidden Pain: Behind the aristocratic facade lies trauma. Harlequin is from a clan cursed by "fire," and bears the mark of destruction. Her coldness is the result of betrayal and loss, which she has learned not to show.
Cruelty to enemies: In the manga, she is portrayed as merciless—for example, burning down the house of one of the Fatui members for questioning her orders. However, she treats her subordinates with strictness, but without sadism, as if they were parts of a larger machine.

Sandrone (real name: Puppet Guillotin) is the seventh of the eleven Harbingers of Fatui, known by the title "Puppet." She is one of the most enigmatic figures, having not yet appeared in the game, but is mentioned in dialogue and teasers.

🎭 Appearance: Porcelain doll

Sandrone looks like a young girl with a porcelain, doll-like appearance:

Face and Hair: Light (beige) hair, pulled back into a bun with two long strands framing the face. Eyes are dull blue or gray-blue.
· Clothing: A long white dress with a black corset and red accents, a Victorian-style headdress resembling a bonnet.
Distinguishing feature: She has a rotating wind-up key on her back. She is constantly accompanied by a huge automaton (robot), on whose arm she sits in the teaser. Fans speculate that she needs this robot for mobility issues.

🧊 Personality: Cold scientist

According to her colleagues, Sandrone has a "terrible personality." She's constantly absorbed in automaton research and rarely appears in public—many Fatui officers have never even seen her.

· Indifferent and Arrogant: In the "Lazzo of a Winter Night" teaser, she only utters one line - "How ridiculous", expressing complete disdain for the other Harbingers' arguments.
· Hot-tempered and dangerous: Tartaglia says that every time they meet, she looks at him as if she wants to kill him, although he does not understand what he did to anger her.
Control-obsessed: Rumor has it that she exhibits yandere traits—she can turn people into dolls to keep them with her forever. She punishes her enemies with cruelty (such as ripping out their tongues).

Senora (real name Rosalina Kruzhika Löwenfürst) is the eighth of the eleven Harbingers of Fatui, known as the "Snow Witch." She is one of the most tragic and majestic figures in the game.

🎭 Appearance: Queen of Ice and Fire

Her appearance is a contrast between an icy mask and a fiery essence:

· Normal: A tall, stately woman wearing an elegant black dress with a high slit and a white fur boa. Her face is hidden by a black half-mask covering her eyes. Luxurious white hair flows down to her shoulders.
· In battle ("Burning Witch"): The mask disappears, her hair turns fiery red, and her dress is replaced by a form-fitting red and black suit with a mantle of pure flame. She's on fire—literally and figuratively.
· The Cryo Eye of God and Delishion are attached to her chest. She also has two Pyro Seals on her arms.

🧊 Character: A cold mask of burning pain

The Senora is the embodiment of aristocratic cruelty, behind which lies a deep trauma:

· Arrogant and haughty: She looks down on everyone, calling Tartaglia a "boy," and treating people like pawns. In Mondstadt, she openly insults Wendy by taking his God's Heart.
· Cold-Blooded Manipulator: Knows how to weave intrigues, as in Liyue, where she helped resurrect Oseal and then retreated, leaving the heroes to deal with the consequences.
· Indifferent to Death: She believes her lover is dead, and therefore she doesn't care about anything around her. She even treats her own death with icy calm.
· True devotion to the Queen: Despite her coldness, she believes in the ideals of Fatui and carries out her mission to the end - because she has nothing else.

Tartaglia (real name Ajax) is the eleventh and youngest of the Fatui Harbingers, known by the title "Childe." He is one of the most contradictory characters: a charming friend and a merciless warrior all rolled into one.

🎭 Appearance: Dangerous aristocrat

Tartaglia looks like a young nobleman, but his appearance is full of details that reveal a warrior:

Face and Hair: Short, unkempt red hair and piercing, dull blue eyes. A red Fatui mask is worn on her head, tilted to the side.
Clothing: A loose gray jacket, unbuttoned at the bottom, revealing a belt with the Hydro God's Eye. A red scarf slung over his shoulder and a tie with a red stone are striking accents.
Details: Black gloves, boots, and an earring with a red crystal. In battle, he wears Delishion (an electro-powered God's Eye) alongside his main weapon.

⚔️ Character: A wolf in sheep's clothing

Behind his friendly smile lies a ruthless fighting instinct:

· Battle-Obsessed: He craves strong opponents and risk, and battle is his reason for living. He deliberately uses a bow (a weak weapon) to make victory more interesting.
· Straightforward and honest: Unlike other Harbingers, he disdains intrigue and prefers to act head-on. His word is law, even if the promise is absurd.
· Loving Brother: Paradoxically, he is gentle and caring with his younger siblings. He spoils them, especially his brother Teucer, and sends money and letters home. He would do anything for his family.
· Strange Friendship: He views the Traveler as a friend and a worthy opponent, whom he wishes to fight again. He also maintained a good relationship with Zhong Li, despite the latter's deception.

Dottore (real name Zandik) is the second of the eleven Harbingers of Fatui, known by the title "Doctor." He is one of the most enigmatic, cruel, and intellectually dangerous antagonists in the game.

🎭 Appearance: Chaos in different "versions"

Dottore's uniqueness lies in the fact that he has created numerous "segments" (clones) of himself at different ages. His appearance varies greatly from segment to segment:

In the manga (early segment): A man with short, curly blue hair and piercing red eyes. He wears a black and white mask that covers most of his face, a long white frock coat, a striped vest, and a pink bow tie.
In-game (main, "Omega Build"): His hair is longer, pulled back into a mullet-like style. Instead of an eye mask, he wears a black, pointed, beak-shaped mask, reminiscent of a plague doctor. He wears a white coat with silver trim and a fur collar on the shoulder, over a blue shirt. He has many black belts and details.
Other Segments: There are 18, 25 (with glasses and in a surgeon's suit), 45, and 65-year-old versions, each with their own details. Almost all of them were destroyed as part of the deal with Nahida.

🧠 Character: A mad genius with no morals

Dottore's character is a combination of cold calculation and pathological cruelty:

· Ruthless Scientist: Science is paramount to him. He's not above experimenting on humans and children (as in the case of Kollei). He views his subordinates as expendable.
· Arrogant Intellectual: He disdains those who possess the Eyes of God, calling them "trinkets." He was considered a monster at Sumeru Academy for his radical ideas, which led to his expulsion.
· Calculating Strategist: His motivation is a pure thirst for knowledge, not power. He is capable of complex deals (such as destroying his clones for the sake of two God's Hearts) and shows no interest in the deaths of others unless they interfere with his plans.

Pantalone (The Businessman) is the enigmatic ninth Harbinger of Fatui, whose main power lies not in combat, but in money and control over the economy.

His appearance is that of an elegant and cool banker. He has dark, curly, shoulder-length hair with a purple tint at the tips, gray-violet eyes (often closed), and silver glasses on a chain. He wears a formal black turtleneck, dark trousers, and a long coat with a fur trim and dragon patterns, and rings with large stones are noticeable on his hands.

His character is shaped by his past: he grew up in poverty and was denied the Eye of God, causing him to hate the gods. This transformed him into a cold-blooded, rational, and cunning schemer, obsessed with the idea of ​​"fair exchange" and the desire to bring the global economy under Snow's control.

Fatui is led by the Queen, who commands the Harbingers—eleven senior officers, each in charge of a specific branch—with absolute authority. The Harbingers have broad powers, access to special technologies and artifacts (including "Eyes of Corruption"—enhanced versions of the Eyes of God), and their own styles and methods of operation. Famous Harbingers include Tartaglia (Childe), Signora, Dottore, Pantalone, and others.

The Queen is a Cryo Archon and ruler of the Snowy region. She is one of the Seven Archons, but unlike most of them, she does not seek to be "close" to the people: her image is cold, distant, and almost untouchable. Her power is linked to the element of Cryo, and like the other Archons, she does not require the Eye of God.

Role and objectives
The Queen's primary goal is to oppose the Celestial Order, a system she believes unfairly governs the world of Teyvat. To this end, she collects the Gnosis (Hearts of God) of other Archons—powerful artifacts that represent an Archon's authority over their region and Celestia's will. It was for this purpose that she founded Fatui and granted the Harbingers special powers.

Gathering Gnosis isn't just a matter of increasing power: in the lore, it's a step toward a larger-scale confrontation that will change the very structure of the world.

Character and motives
Before the Cataclysm (the events of 500 years ago), the Queen was much softer and kinder. The Cataclysm and the losses it brought changed her profoundly: she hardened and decided that softness could no longer serve her. Now her main strategy is strength, control, and preparation for the decisive confrontation.

At the same time, individual characters (such as Tartaglia) mention that there is something more behind her severity: she is not simply a cold dictator, but a figure who acts out of deep inner pain and the conviction that this is the only way to protect her people and achieve justice.
The Fatui is her primary organization and instrument of influence throughout Teyvat. Eleven Harbingers lead the organization, each with their own style and area of ​​responsibility. The Queen grants them broad powers and resources, including experimental technology and "Eyes of Corruption"—empowered artifacts that grant immense power at the cost of dire consequences for the wearer.

She rarely intervenes directly, but her will is felt in every major decision of the organization.

Harbingers of Fatui in Genshin Impact
Tartaglia (Childe)
The Eleventh Harbinger. Tartaglia is a combat enthusiast: for him, battle is the highest value, and a hard-won victory is especially precious. He deliberately trains with awkward weapons (such as a bow) to become stronger. Appearance-wise, he is a young man with bright orange hair and blue eyes, wearing elements of the Fatui uniform and a red scarf. In battle, he uses Hydro and can switch to a form linked to the Abyss. He is straightforward and possesses boyish energy, but remains a deadly fighter. At the same time, he is deeply attached to his family and strives to provide a better life for his younger brothers and sister.

Scaramuccia (The Wanderer)
The sixth Harbinger, later becoming an independent character under the name Wanderer. Cunning, blunt, prone to sarcasm and abrupt decisions. His journey is closely tied to the search for his own identity and attempts to understand a difficult past. As Harbinger, he acted prudently, not shying away from manipulation. In the game, his fighting style reflects his inner turmoil: he controls Anemo and is able to "take off" in combat, changing the dynamics of battle.

Harlequin
The Fourth Harbinger and head of the Hearth's Home Orphanage. Her nickname is "Servant." Arlecchino is known for raising orphans and preparing them for Fatui service, transforming personal tragedy and harsh methods into a system of education. She is pragmatic, cold, and places duty above emotion, yet her approach to her charges is logical and even caring. In the story, she acts as an influential figure, able to influence Snezhnaya's policies and expand Fatui's influence through her network of wards.

The Captain is a paragon of military discipline and honor: he acts straightforwardly, dislikes intrigue, and relies on strength and tactics. His reputation among other Harbingers and rank-and-file soldiers is very high, and his leadership style is tough but fair. In the lore, he is portrayed as a figure to be emulated and one of the primary instruments of the Queen's will in military matters.

Dottore
The second Harbinger, known only as "The Doctor," Dottore is a fanatical scientist who values ​​experimentation and the pursuit of knowledge above ethical boundaries. He is obsessed with the idea of ​​"perfecting" humanity and regards the suffering of others as no obstacle. The story and flashbacks highlight his ruthlessness and cold calculation: he is willing to use any resources or people for the sake of his research. In the game, he is presented as an extremely dangerous and unpredictable opponent, whose methods frighten even other members of the Fatui.

Columbine
The Third Harbinger, known as "The Soubrette," Columbine is a mysterious and eerily calm figure. Her demeanor seems almost childlike and casual, but beneath it lies immense strength and cruelty. She acts without fuss, displays no emotion, and is capable of striking at the most unexpected moment. In the lore, her character is built on contrasts: outwardly innocence and ease, but inwardly, cold efficiency and a willingness to carry out the Queen's darkest commands.

These Harbingers demonstrate how diverse the approaches within the Fatui can be: from the open passion of Tartaglia to the calculation of Dottore and the cold discipline of Capitano. Each represents a distinct personality and tactic, united by a shared loyalty to the Queen and a willingness to serve her plans.
