The Unveiled Secrets: An In-Depth Guide to Each Formidable Fatui Harbinger in Genshin Impact

Highlights

Genshin Impact has confirmed 9 out of 11 positions of the Fatui Harbingers, with only Pierro and Il Capitano remaining unconfirmed.

Each Harbinger possesses a distinct story and purpose, as Pierro serves as the Director of the Fatui and Il Dottore showcases exceptional brilliance as a mad scientist. These Harbingers wield tremendous power and hold crucial roles within the game's storyline, with notable figures such as Columbina and Arlecchino being characterized as both hazardous and volatile.

Genshin Impact boasts a richly developed narrative that delves into the world of Teyvat. However, it appears that whenever a problem arises, it is linked to the Fatui. The Fatui organization is led by 11 Harbingers, each with their own unique tale and mission to obtain the Gnoses for the Tsaritsa. So far, players have encountered 5 of these Harbingers, but throughout the game, there are hidden details about all eleven that can be discovered through character stories and world quests.

For the most part, their positions within the Fatui have been confirmed. Currently, Genshin Impact has confirmed 9 out of the 11 positions. The remaining two positions, namely Pierro and Il Capitano, are still unconfirmed, with their speculated ranks being either 1 or 0 for Pierro and 1 or 10 for Il Capitano.

Genshin Impact's Fatui Harbingers

Pierro - The Jester: As the highest-ranking Director of the Fatui, Pierro's power is undeniable. He played a key role in recruiting three other Harbingers, namely The Doctor, The Balladeer, and The Fair Lady. During the Sumeru Interlude quest, it was revealed that he was a former royal mage from Khaenri'ah who had a close connection with the abyss sibling.

Il Dottore - The Doctor: As the second-ranked member of the Fatui Harbingers, Dottore is known for his brilliance and eccentricity as a mad scientist. Previously named Zandik, he was expelled from the Sumeru Akademiya for crossing ethical boundaries and committing murder. Pierro personally assigned him to Tatarasuna, where he caused chaos and unrest in Inazuma. Notably, Dottore has achieved remarkable accomplishments such as creating replicas of himself and fabricating a false deity. In the conclusion of the Sumeru Archon quest, he obtained both the Dendro and Electro Gnoses.

Columbina - Damselette: Very little information is available regarding the third Harbinger, Columbina. Both Tartaglia and Wanderer strongly advise caution and suggest staying away from her. Despite appearing indifferent and unaware, she is reputed to be extremely dangerous. As one of the top three Harbingers, her power is believed to be on par with that of the gods. Speculation often arises in theoretical discussions regarding her possible status as the last surviving member of the seelie race.

Arlecchino - The Knave: Arlecchino, the fourth Harbinger, has long been recognized as mentally unstable, starting from Tartaglia's initial encounter with her. Surprisingly, despite being someone who relishes conflict, Tartaglia wants nothing to do with her. Arlecchino has even surpassed her predecessor after a confrontation. Known as "Father" in the House of Hearth, an orphanage that trains young soldiers, she plays a significant role. Unexpectedly, her involvement in Fontaine's quest has been relatively neutral, even somewhat positive, as she seeks to acquire the Hydro Gnosis in order to reverse Fontaine's prophetic predicament.

Pulcinella - The Rooster: As the fifth Fatui Harbinger, Pulcinella is often referred to as the mayor by Wanderer. However, very little information is available regarding his background. He fulfills the role of taking care of Childe's family during Childe's absence for missions, residing in Snezhnaya.

Scaramouche - The Balladeer: Formerly holding this position, Scaramouche, also known as the Balladeer, was a sadistic Harbinger. He would even keep certain recruits around solely for his own amusement, relishing in their fearful expressions. Both the Tsaritsa and Pierro had sent him to the Abyss, though the reasons for this are undisclosed. Currently, the seat of the sixth harbinger remains vacant and has reportedly been unoccupied for centuries, according to Teyvat.

Sandrone - Marionette: There is limited information available about Sandrone, but it is understood that she holds the position of the seventh harbinger. She is always deeply focused on her task, specifically working with ruin guards.

La Signora - The Fair Lady: Signora was a highly accomplished diplomat and managed to obtain the Geo Gnosis. Unfortunately, she met her demise at the Inazuma throne. Her funeral was depicted in "A Winter Night's Lazzo." Some players speculate and wish for her potential revival during Natlan's quest, but no concrete evidence exists to support this.

Pantalone, known as the Regrator, stands as the wealthiest among all the Harbingers. Despite never receiving a vision, he sought an alternate path to power by accumulating mora. During the world quest "Big Business," the traveler is cautioned against getting involved in Pantalone's affairs when the treasure hoarder Bao'er becomes entangled in them.

Tartaglia, also known as Childe, holds the lowest rank among the Fatui Harbingers and is the youngest among them. During his youth, he stumbled into the Abyss, which led to the unlocking of his Foul Legacy form while under the tutelage of a woman named Skirk. In the Liyue Archon quest, he used counterfeit Sigils of Permission to awaken Osial, believing it would entice the Geo Archon and allow him to claim the Geo Archon's Gnosis for himself.

Little is known about Il Capitano - The Captain. His ranking remains a mystery. Nevertheless, players are aware of his esteemed reputation within the Fatui.

Genshin Impact can be enjoyed on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. The game is also undergoing development for the Nintendo Switch.
