While we’ve encountered several Harbingers like Childe, Arlecchino, and Capitano throughout our journey, four members continue to operate from the shadows, leaving players hungry for more information about their true intentions.

Genshin Impact 4 Most Enigmatic Fatui Harbingers
| Harbinger | Rank | Known Role | Mystery Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pierro | 1st (The Jester) | Founding Director | Khaenri’ah survivor with unknown agenda |
| Il Dottore | 2nd (The Doctor) | Mad Scientist | True motivations beyond god-defiance |
| Pulcinella | 5th (The Rooster) | Mayor & Recruiter | Political influence scope unclear |
| Pantalone | 9th (The Regrator) | Economic Mastermind | Vision-less individual with godly resentment |
Why These Harbingers Fascinate Players
Pierro – The Mastermind Behind Everything: As the founding member of the Fatui Harbingers and survivor of Khaenri’ah’s destruction, Pierro orchestrates the Harbingers’ actions across Teyvat with precision, yet his ultimate goals remain unclear. His connection to the Cataclysm and loyalty to the Tsaritsa suggests a deeper conspiracy that could reshape Teyvat’s future.
Il Dottore – Science Without Morality: The Second Harbinger stands out as perhaps the most dangerous, conducting horrifying experiments and creating multiple clones of himself. His obsession with surpassing the gods drives him to manipulate entire nations, as seen during the Sumeru Archon Quest, but what lies beneath this scientific madness remains unknown.
Pulcinella – Politics Meets Power: Unlike other combat-focused Harbingers, the Fifth Harbinger operates through political channels as Snezhnaya’s mayor. His role in recruiting Childe and blending politics with Fatui activities hints at a more sophisticated approach to achieving the Tsaritsa’s vision.
Pantalone – Wealth as a Weapon: The Ninth Harbinger controls Snezhnaya’s economic empire without possessing a Vision. His resentment toward the gods for being denied divine power fuels his ambition to make Snezhnaya Teyvat’s financial center, operating through business deals and economic manipulation.
What Makes Them Different from Other Harbingers
These four Harbingers represent the intellectual and strategic backbone of the Fatui organization. While characters like Childe and Arlecchino rely on direct confrontation, these mysterious figures work behind the scenes, pulling strings that affect entire nations without ever drawing their weapons.
Strategic Influence: Each operates in a different sphere – political (Pulcinella), scientific (Dottore), economic (Pantalone), and organizational (Pierro) – creating a web of influence that spans all of Teyvat.
When Will We Learn More?
With Genshin Impact’s story progressing toward Snezhnaya and the upcoming Nod-Krai region, leaks suggest new Fatui Harbinger content arriving as early as January 2025. The official Genshin Impact website continues to tease future story developments that will finally reveal these characters’ true motivations.
As we approach the climax of the Archon Quest storyline, understanding these four Harbingers becomes crucial for comprehending the Tsaritsa’s ultimate plan and the fate of Teyvat itself.
