The Fatui is a notorious criminal syndicate that answers to the Tsaritsa of Schneznaya who is also the Cryo Archon. The Fatui Harbingers are her top officials- a group of extremely influential and powerful individuals that have served as one of the main antagonists of each of Tevyat’s regional Archon quests- La Signora in Mondstadt, Childe in Liyue and again La Signora and Scaramouche in Inazuma. There are a total of 11 Fatui Harbingers and recently a trustworthy leak surfaced revealing some information about them.
Leaked Info on the Fatui Harbingers in Genshin Impact
While we do not know which Harbingers will end up becoming our allies, we do know that not all of them will survive. Many of them are expected to be executed or left for dead like in the case of La Signora or “The Fair Lady”. The ones who do become our allies and survive are expected to be released as playable characters. The following statements are made by Childe or Tartaglia about his fellow Harbinger colleagues.
On Pierro- “The Jester”
It would seem Childe isn’t well acquainted with their leader and Pierro seems like a character intentionally shrouded in mystery. As the leader of the Harbingers and the first Harbinger, we can expect him to be very strong with outlandish abilities.
On La Signora- “The Fair Lady”
It would seem Childe’s making this comment after news of her death in Inazuma and he’s willing to do anything so that he doesn’t meet a similar fate. This could be another hint as to how Childe might be a major ally to our Traveller in the future.
On Dottore- “The Doctor”
From what we know of Dottore, he seems to be a very educated and trained scholar who’s gone off the rails and conducted many inhuman experiments on his subjects, subordinates and children alike. Rumours also say that he’s potentially one of the Harbingers who’ll die before the end of the game. Here, Childe’s opinion of his seems to be that of mere curiosity.
On Capitano- “The Captain”
Apart from this leak about Childe’s high regard for the Captain, other leaks suggest that he may be a fraud and the reason why everyone fears him is for his outlandish looks and dressing. It’s suspected that the reason Childe respects him thus is because of his boastful lies about his feats and accomplishments. He’s also apparently hired by Pantalone for his intimidation factor.
On Pulcinella- “The Rooster”
This is one of the few Harbingers whom Childe respects and trusts. It would seem The Rooster has a likable personality and other leaks suggest that he treats everyone equally. This could be one of our allies who we can eventually unlock as a playable character.
On Arlecchino- “The Knave”
According to Childe this female Harbinger is untrustworthy and greedy and not completely loyal to the Tsaritsa’s cause. This could suggest her to be another one of the travller’s allies.
On Scaramouche- “Balladeer”
Scaramouche is a character we’ve already seen a lot of. He’s an instrumental antagonist whose true plans and goals are still a mystery. As of now, him taking the Electro Archon’s Gnosis seems to be driving the story forward as Childe is now tasked with tracking him. We may get to see him playing a major role in Sumeru.
On Sandrone- “Marionette”
According to Childe, another scholar character and someone interested in machinery and automatons. Maybe we’ll see her make a breakthrough with the Ruin machines considering we’ve already seen the Fatui tinkering with them in one of Childe’s story quest.
On Columbina- “Damselette”
This is the highest-ranked female Harbinger as per the leaks and going by Childe’s words- not one to be messed with. Considering Childe is a battle-hungry impulsive character who’s actually quite strong, it would be wise of our Travellers to be wary of her.
On Pantalone- “Regrator”
Suspected to be one of the main antagonists in upcoming Archon Quests, Pantalone is also suspected to be one of the parents of our pair of protagonist siblings. Rumours say his agenda is to actively prevent them from meeting and thus we can predict him to play a major role in Fontaine.
These leaks come from a trusted source but are still farfetched from our current point in Genshin’s storyline. Hopefully, with the release of Sumeru, we can see more of these characters making an appearance or playing a role in the story.
