The Knave

Arlecchino, also known as "The Knave," is a captivating character in Genshin Impact. She is the Fourth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and the head of the House of the Hearth, an intelligence organization, where she is referred to as "Father" by the children. Arlecchino possesses an elegant and composed demeanor, yet she is a ruthless and strategic mastermind. She is skilled in diplomacy and unwavering in her methods to achieve her goals. In combat, she wields a polearm and manipulates a unique "Bond of Life" mechanic, converting her attacks into powerful Pyro damage. Her abilities include an Elemental Skill that marks enemies and a devastating Elemental Burst. Arlecchino's origins are shrouded in mystery; she is not from Fontaine, and has deep connections to the fallen nation of Khaenri'ah. Her past is full of secrets. Before becoming "The Knave," she was called Peruere, enduring a brutal childhood and ultimately killing the previous "Mother" to take her place. Arlecchino is a complex and contradictory character, exhibiting both ruthlessness and affection for the children of the House of the Hearth. Her morally ambiguous nature has made her a fan favorite. She became a playable character in Version 4.6.
