Past: Tartaglia's real name is Ajax. At the age of 14, he ran away from home into the forest with a piece of bread and a dagger. The boy accidentally fell into the Abyss, where he was forced to fight for his life against monsters. He was found by Skirk, a girl from another planet who had been trained by one of the five Sinners of Kaenri'ah (Surtalog), and she trained him. Over the course of three months, she taught him how to handle weapons and transform into his Legacy Form, harnessing the power of the Abyss. When Ajax returned, he discovered that only three days had passed in the real world. After that incident, he became obsessed with fighting and constantly sought an excuse to test himself. This passion for battle led him to Fatui. He has a good relationship with Pulcinella, who protects his family (for example, his younger siblings (Tevkra, Tonya, Anton)).

Past: Pantalone's real name is Feofan. At the age of 20, he was brought to Dottore's laboratory as a test subject. The experimental formula for the elixir of immortality worked, and over time, the men's relationship evolved from doctor-patient to friendship. Thanks to Dottore's help, Pantalone recovered and took the position of Harbinger, and the banker, in turn, sponsors his comrade's research. The "businessman" is obsessed with the idea of ​​an equal exchange between humans and gods, which is precisely how he and the scientist found common ground. Dottore often treats the banker and performs surgery on him. Pantalone smokes heavily, which the scientist dislikes.

She always walked alongside her enormous robot companion, Pulonia. After Alain's death, Sandrone left Fontaine and joined Fatui. There, she hosted tea parties and built various mechanisms. She is friends with Columbine, although the latter irritates her with her antics.

Scaramuccia, also known as "The Storyteller," is the Sixth Harbinger of Fatui. Many consider him the least pleasant of the Harbingers.

Kabukimono, who received a heart in a box—the object of his deepest desire—felt betrayed and abandoned. He soon befriended a lonely boy, but the boy also died of illness. After this, Scaramuccia stopped trusting humans and joined the Fatui.

Past: Pulcinella, a long-lived house spirit, has been the mayor of Snezhnograd, the capital of Snezhnaya, for many years. He is a skilled politician who controls many aspects of the region. "Chicken" is also a regular at the snowy hellish gathering, where he discusses various issues, problems, and their solutions (including the continuation of the "Frost" project) with other Harbingers and the townspeople. However, despite his cunning nature, as promised, he sincerely cares for Tartaglia's loved ones while he is away.

Past: Columbine's real name is Kuutar. She was born in Nod's End 500 years ago, and the Children of the Frost Moon revered her as their goddess. However, Kuutar disliked the way people demanded she solve their problems in exchange for offerings, so she left. After joining the Fatui, she began spending time with other women and gradually adapted to society. She is ignorant of social norms and has difficulty making friends. She loves to sing.

Character: smart, cunning, attentive, calculating, polite, cold, lonely.
Eye of Corruption: ??? (possibly cryo or hydro)
Weapon: ??? (possibly catalyst)
Past: Dottore's real name is Backside. In his youth, he was a student at Sumeru Academy, exiled to the desert for cruel experiments and heretical ideas. Dottore studies ancient mechanisms and various creatures, driven by the idea of ​​creating a superhuman equal to the Archon. The cruelty of his experiments earned him the reputation of a monster, so he voluntarily took on the role of a villain. He justifies this as a search for truth (though it seems he said, "If you see me as a monster, then I will be one"). Accustomed to being an outcast, he builds relationships based on convenience (he previously tried to form connections with fellow "outsiders" like Scaramuccia and Columbine). Dottore was able to create segments of himself at different ages (8, 18, 25, 35, 45, 65) and invent the elixir of immortality. He can play the piano.

Capitano, also known as "The Captain," is the First of the Fatui Harbingers. He is reputed to be the strongest mortal.
Appearance: Tall; well-built; wears a black uniform with gold buttons and chains that covers his entire body (with a heart pattern on the chest) and a full-face helmet mask (revealing a gaping void in place of a face); long black hair; blue eyes with a diamond-shaped star.
Character: brave, strong in spirit, calm, reasonable, noble.
Eye of Corruption: Cryo
Weapon: One-handed sword
Past: Capitano's real name is Thráin. He was once a knight guardian at the royal court of Kaenri'ah, but when the country fell, he, like Piero, was struck by the curse of immortality, which severely disfigured his body and face. His mechanical heart allowed Thráin to contain within his body the souls of his fallen comrades from Kaenri'ah and the warriors of Natlan who died fighting the Void. They scream in his head and keep him awake. And for 500 years, Capitano has been searching for a way to return these souls to the arteries of the earth and end his life.

It seems Pierrot was serious from birth. Even as Eftirwit—a young court mage and deputy head of the Arcane Institute—he was thoughtful, responsible, collected, and reserved. Nevertheless, he was still a man with feelings, desires, and vices: he openly envied his friend's career, craved success and the king's approval, and loved his homeland and people. When his teacher, Professor Mimameit, fell gravely ill due to her research into the Abyss, he sincerely worried and tried to help. However, his friend's betrayal and the Catastrophe at Caenri'ah profoundly changed him: Eftirwit bore the burden of guilt for failing to save first the professor, and then his homeland. After joining the Queen, the man became colder, more calculating, and more purposeful. He speaks briefly and to the point, never smiling, yet remains loyal to his people and the Cryo Archon, often thinking and reminiscing about everything that happened. Piero, a broken idealist, has become a cold-blooded pragmatist whose main goal is revenge against Celestia. The grim Harbinger perceives his title "Jester" as a cruel but apt irony: "A jester who mocks fate."

Tall; has grey (or silver) hair and beard; blue eyes with a diamond pattern (a trait of the people of Kaenri'ah); wears a white formal suit, a cloak with a black fur collar and a mask covering half his face.

The Queen (Anastasia Feodorovna Snezhnaya) is the Cryo Archon (Archon of Love) who rules Snezhnaya. All members of Fatui obey her.
Appearance: Tall; slender; fair-skinned; blue eyes with a snowflake pattern; white hair; wears a crown made of ice, as well as a luxurious dress and a fur coat with a fur collar in white and blue tones.
Character: cold, closed, domineering, loyal, caring (but hides it)
Past: The Queen ascended the throne approximately 500 years ago, after a catastrophe that destroyed one of Teyvat's nations, Kaenri'ah. At that time, Anastasia lost someone close to her, the ability to love as an Archon, and her memories, and so she decided to challenge Celestia. She seeks to gather all seven Hearts of the Gods to remove the seal from the legacy of the deceased Third Descender, with whom she shares a long-forgotten connection. The Queen preserves her memories in a special prism and seeks to restore the old ones to restore the picture of events and throw off the shackles imposed by Fanet. The Archon does not remember that she is the mother of the people of Kaenri'ah, and that the Third Descender sacrificed himself for her. She has hidden all her emotions behind a crust of ice, but in her heart she still cares for her loved ones and subjects.

Snezhnaya is a region of the Cryo element, where temperatures are perpetually abnormally low. It is ruled by the Archon of Love, the Queen (real name Anastasia Feodorovna Snezhnaya). Snezhnaya is inhabited by humans and various elves (snowmen, brownies, werewolves, fairies, etc.).

Astaroth is the Lady of Time. Tall and graceful, she wears white robes with blue highlights and a large ring above her head, from which hang intricate instruments and symbols. Her hair is long and white, and her eyes are golden. Little is known about her, but she was once worshipped in Monstadt and Enkanomia (an ancient, destroyed nation in what is now Inazuma).

Ronova is the Mistress of Death. Tall, graceful, and impassive, she wears black robes and has scarlet wings with multiple eyes (she doesn't always show them) on her back. Her hair is long and white, and her eyes are golden. She helped the Nightlord create the Kingdom of Night in Natlan. She cast a curse of immortality on the inhabitants of Kaenri'ah during the Cataclysm. She is also responsible for transporting the souls of the dead to the Arteries of Earth, and recently, she has been hindering the progress of the Mistletoe Project by casting a death curse on the inhabitants of Snowy (most often, it's the scientists who are struck down, dying for a few minutes during a key stage of the experiments and then resurrected).

Naberius is the Mistress of Life. Her appearance is identical to Reindottir's, except that her magic ring, eyes, and the iridescent patterns on her clothing are blue instead of gold. She participated in the creation of Teyvat's flora and fauna, including humans and Archons. At an unknown time, she died, after which her heart was absorbed by Reindottir. Their consciousnesses merged, and the Sinner took her place, but Naberius can still communicate and react to her experiences within their minds.

Asmodeus is the Mistress of Space. Tall and graceful, she wears white robes with black and crimson accents; her hair is long and white, her eyes amber. It was she who separated the Fourth Descended from her twin. Afterward, she disappeared without a trace and, according to rumors, has found a new master... Could this be the same twin now lurking somewhere in Snezhnaya?

Descenders are otherworlders, those who came to Teyvat from outside, from another world. However, not every visitor from beyond the world becomes a Descender. The main criterion is the ability to influence the course of Teyvat's history, change its fate, and disrupt its destiny. In other words, they are not just strangers, but those whose actions leave a mark on the fabric of the universe. According to Fatui and data from the Irminsul (the world's memory tree), four are distinguished:

The First Descender is the Celestial Order (Celestia). Some call him "the Primordial," and only a few call him Faneth. He defeated and overthrew the dragons who ruled before his arrival, and, having acquired their technology, transformed Teyvat into the world we know today: he created Archons and humans, Angels and Shadows (Ladies of Life, Death, Time, and Space), and established the rules that still exist today. The "Primordial" still rules, but after the Kaenri Catastrophe five hundred years ago, he fell asleep and never showed himself again...

The Second Descender is a foreign ruler who waged war against the First Descender and lost. In the books, he is sometimes referred to as the "Second Throne."

The Third Descender's identity has not yet been fully revealed, but it is known that he has some connection with the Queen. He was once forced to open the gates of Pohjola, causing the Calamity in Kaenri'ah. The Celestial Order killed Anastasia, and the Descender made a deal: the Fanatic would resurrect her and not harm her or her descendants in Kaenri'ah (otherwise he would fall into slumber), in exchange for his sacrifice and allowing the creation of Gnosis (Hearts of God) from his remains, which are used by the Archons. The deal was made. As a result, the Third Descender was killed and erased from the Irminsul records, and the Hearts of the Gods were made from his body. In the book "Hymns of the Far North," he is called Saarelainen.

The Fourth Descended is a Traveler from another world who is searching for his lost twin.

"The Seer" Vedrfjölnir - ???
"Gold" Reindottir is tall, elegant, and long-legged; she wears white robes with golden highlights, has amber eyes, long golden hair with DNA-like curls, and a magical amber circle over her right shoulder.
Surtalogi's "Knight of Fel" possesses a monstrous appearance due to the fact that he has replaced his limbs with the energy of the Abyss.
"The Sage" Hroftatur - His appearance as a Sinner is unknown, but as a human he had soft features, violet eyes, and long light-lilac hair, was tall and thin, and wore a loose white shirt with embellishments and dark blue trousers.
"Moon Avenger" Rerir - after the reunification of the soul fragments in Nod-land and thanks to the connection with the Wild Hunt (a type of Abyss, inhabiting exclusively the territory of Nod-land and plaguing it for many years), his appearance became different from human: the man has become much taller and bulkier, pale skin is completely covered with black bandages, from under which only crimson eyes are visible; over this he wears a cloak of the same color; his hair is white, tangled, unruly, shoulder-length.

The Sinners are five once-prominent individuals from Khaenri'ah, closely linked to the 500-year-old Cataclysm. They were meant to prevent it, but succumbed to the temptation of the Void and divided its power among themselves. Even then, they failed to use it to save their homeland, and thus Khaenri'ah fell. After the Cataclysm, each of them went their own way.
"The Seer" Vedrfjolnir is a prophet with the gift of foresight. For his prophecy of the Cataclysm, he was blinded and imprisoned. After the kingdom's fall, he became the founder of the Order of the Abyss (an organization of the last inhabitants of Kaenria that seeks to restore their homeland using the "Weave of Fate") and operated from the shadows.
"Gold" Reindottir is an alchemist and witch, the creator of many living beings. Her creations brought chaos to Teyvat.
"The Fel Knight" Surtalogi is Skirk's mentor (who, in turn, is Tartaglia's mentor), a master of combat techniques and controller of the All-Devouring Narwhal (a whale from beyond this world). He left Teyvat to find a worthy opponent.
"The Sage" Hroftatur is an advisor to the ruler of Kaenri'ah and the head of the Sorcerers' Academy. He was once a friend of Etherwit (now Pierrot), and together they attempted to cure their professor. Hroftatur found a cure, but never used it. The professor died, their relationship with his friend was ruined, and the spell was subsequently used on the inhabitants of Kaenri'ah as a curse of immortality. After embracing the Abyss, he gave Pierrot his notebook—"the last shred of his humanity"—and left Teyvat in search of truth and a new world. Because of the Forbidden Knowledge, the journal was sealed.
"Lunar Avenger" Rerir was once a simple combat unit, exterminating the descendants of the Scarlet Moon Dynasty. At some point, guilt and doubt began to gnaw at him, but the point of no return came when he ordered the assassination of his own fiancée, who turned out to be a distant descendant. Tolindis sacrificed herself, and Rerir, wanting to bring her back, embraced the Abyss. He entered the Lunar Reflection, and his soul shattered into many fragments.

Kaenri'ah is an ancient state of Teyvat, destroyed by the Cataclysm 500 years ago. It was a subterranean land without God, where people who did not recognize the authority of the seven Archons flocked. Throughout its existence, Kaenri'ah was ruled by two dynasties: the Crimson Moon Dynasty (which worshiped the Archon) and the Eclipse Dynasty (Black Sun), which subsequently began to exterminate the descendants of their predecessors. The inhabitants were divided into pure-blooded Kaenrians (descendants of the Cryo Archon Queen) and non-pure-blooded (newcomers). The people developed their state themselves, making great breakthroughs in alchemy and mechanical engineering. Dangerous experiments that questioned the Celestial Order provoked divine wrath, which led to catastrophe. Five outstanding individuals of Kaenri'ah were supposed to stop the Cataclysm, but at the last moment they decided to divide the power of the Abyss among themselves, ultimately becoming the Great Sinners. Because of this, the state was destroyed, the pure-blooded Kaenrians were cursed with immortality, and ordinary people were transformed into hilichurls. However, many years later, the legacy of Kaenri'ah lives on: the ancient mechanisms of the fallen country walk the land, the damned seek freedom and find peace, and the Order of the Abyss yearns to reclaim their homeland...

Teyvat is the fantasy world where all the action of the story takes place. Teyvat is home to special elemental powers, as well as seven regions that correspond to these elements (Monstadt - Anemo (the region of freedom), Liyue - Geo (the region of contracts), Inazuma - Electro (the region of eternity), Sumeru - Dendro (the region of wisdom), Fontaine - Hydro (the region of justice), Natlan - Pyro (the region of war), Snowy - Cryo (the region of love), and the autonomous region of Snowy - Nod-Kray, where Kuuvyaq (the power of the moon) is concentrated). Each region is ruled by an Archon, who can grant the Eye of God, an artifact capable of granting the ability to control one of the elements, to those who overcome hardships and personal experiences. Teyvat has a unified language, but each region has its own dialect (sometimes more than one). Besides humans and Archons, Teyvat is inhabited by Adepts, ëkai, elemental beings, elves, and various monsters. A particular problem is the Abyss—an insatiable force that seeks to destroy everything in its path. It pollutes the body and mind and brings great harm to Teyvat. All of this is governed by Celestia, the Celestial Island, where the Primordial (the chief God, the first Descender) and his Shadows (the Mistresses of life, death, time, and space) reside. They intervene in human lives only when they perceive a threat to the celestial order. (Teyvat also contains the Irminsul—the world tree, which stores all data and memories of humans and the past.)
