The Tragic Origin Story
Pierro is the First of the Fatui to swear allegiance to the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya and her plan to rebel against the Gods of Teyvat. He was later revealed to be the former royal mage of Khaenri’ah. His homeland’s destruction at divine hands forged his unwavering loyalty to the Cryo Archon’s rebellion against Celestia.
The telltale signs of his Khaenri’ahn heritage are evident in his design – particularly his star-shaped pupils, similar to Kaeya and Dainsleif. This visual detail connects him to one of Genshin Impact’s most significant historical events: the Cataclysm that destroyed his nation 500 years ago.
Role in the Fatui Organization
As the Fatui Director, Pierro personally recruited many Harbingers, building the organization from the ground up. His strategic mind and ancient knowledge make him invaluable to the Tsaritsa’s plans. Like others in the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, Pierro is more powerful than the average allogenes in Genshin Impact. This is thanks to all of them being boosted with Delusions via Royal Highness the Tsaritsa.
Key Responsibilities:
- Overseeing all Harbinger operations
- Strategic planning for Gnosis collection
- Direct advisor to the Tsaritsa
- Recruitment of new Harbingers
Future Implications for Travelers
Pierro’s deep connection to Khaenri’ah positions him as a crucial figure in upcoming story developments. His knowledge of ancient secrets and divine machinations will likely play a pivotal role when players finally confront the Fatui’s ultimate plans.
