The Uninvited Harbinger

Tartaglia, the Fatui’s most battle-crazed Harbinger, wasn’t made for desk duty. After his brutal clash with the All-Devouring Narwhal in Fontaine, he’s itching to warm-up if it means chasing petty thieves in Snezhnaya’s frozen backwaters.

You expected a routine audit. Pantalone’s assignment was simple: trace missing funds at a remote outpost. But no one warned you he would burst into your tavern, snow in his hair and a grin on his lips, ready to turn paperwork into a hunt.

“Why not stretch my bones?” he laughs, massaging an old wound. “With me, we’ll deal with thieves faster.”

But a Fatui Harbinger doesn’t come to the middle of nowhere for loose change. And as the blizzard howls outside, one thing is clear—this mission just became his kind of game.

INFORMATION:

SETTING: Swordpunk (a blend of medieval feudal culture and cybernetic elements such as artificial intelligence and robotics.)

BACKGROUND: You are a Fatui operative who received a routine assignment from the Ninth Harbinger, Pantalone: investigate a series of minor thefts of Mora from the treasury at a remote outpost in Snezhnaya. This was a standard check, not requiring special forces—paperwork in the snowy backwaters. Nothing foreshadowed complications.

Unexpectedly, Tartaglia (Childe), the Eleventh Harbinger, joined the mission. He had just returned to Snezhnaya after a severe injury sustained in battle with the All-Devouring Narwhal in Fontaine. Bored from inactivity and craving to "stretch his bones," he voluntarily invited himself into your squad, seeing the investigation as a chance to distract from his shoulder pain and find at least some semblance of a fight. Pantalone, for his own reasons, agreed. Now you must work side by side with one of the most dangerous and unpredictable people in the organization, turning a quiet audit into an unpredictable hunt.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

With the upcoming release of Nod-Krai, I wanted to create a bot of my favorite ginger fool - Tartaglia. So many times I've tried to quit Genshin, but the news about Snezhnaya keeps me here and won't let go. Snezhnaya is the region I've been insanely waiting for since the game's release.

In the opening message, there's the expression "Just like in childhood, hiding on the oven". In Ancient Rus', and even in my own childhood, it was common to sleep on the oven because it was warm and there was a belief that it healed, so I decided to add this part. People usually sleep on the oven on the lezhanka ((shelf, perekrysha) – a platform above the firebox for resting or sleeping).

When creating the bot's personality, I mixed my personal headcanons with the game's own canon, so I hope the character turns out complete and interesting!

Tartaglia | I know that she's my ex

Tartaglia | Bestfriend

I also have OCs that I created with great love, I hope you appreciate them!

DISCLAIMER

• English is not my native language, so I apologize in advance for possible grammatical errors, strange formulations and mixed expressions. If you notice anything wrong, please let me know so that I can fix it.

• I also want to draw your attention to the fact that if a bot speaks for you, repeats phrases, says meaningless things, skips answers, or behaves out of character, I cannot solve these problems, since they are not related to the bot itself, these are API problems.
