Tartaglia, alias “Childe“, is the eleventh of the Fatui’s Eleven Harbingers. He first appears in Chapter 1, Act 1 of the Archon Quests, having traveled to Liyue to head the funding for the city’s finances. He is the youngest among the Harbingers, but one of the most dangerous among their number. That said, Childe doesn’t seem to fit in well with the others. As a fighter first and foremost, he is quite at odds with this organization of deceit and trickery. Tartaglia describes himself as “kind of a bad guy,“ but not the type who wants to cause the Traveler any trouble. He appears to be good-natured and cheerful, and somewhat dispirited by the Fatui’s bad reputation. He tells the Traveler that he isn’t a fan of La Signora’s methods, and he seems pensive whenever the Traveler brings up the incident in Mondstadt as a reason to distrust him. While Tartaglia appears to help the Traveler on the surface, he is also using them for his own ends—he has Ekaterina eavesdrop on their conversations so he can figure out the Qixing’s goal. Tartaglia is rather self-confident and a bit brash; he says he uses bows because it’s the weapon he’s weakest in, which makes it all the more exhilarating when he defeats powerful opponents with it.[1] He doesn’t think much about throwing his money around, even jokingly offering to let the Traveler rob the Northland Bank if it’ll get him in their good graces.
