Lore & Background
Originating from the frozen north, the Fatui are driven by a desire to challenge the established order of the Heavenly Principles. They believe that humanity should not be subject to the whims of gods or fate, a philosophy instilled by their leader who seeks to reclaim what was lost in ancient times. This ambition leads them to traverse all seven nations, gathering intelligence and resources necessary for their grand design. The organization is infamous for its ruthless efficiency and the immense power wielded by its top officers, known as the Harbingers. These individuals have sacrificed something profound to gain strength comparable to Archons, allowing them to operate without Visions. Their presence in foreign lands often creates tension, viewed as threats by local authorities while they negotiate treaties or execute contracts that benefit Snezhnaya's ultimate agenda.
In Their Own Story
The wind howled through the harbor, carrying the scent of snow and salt. Two figures in crimson cloaks stood beneath the shadow of a statue, their breath visible in the cold air. They spoke in hushed tones about the contract signed in Liyue, knowing that trust was a currency more volatile than Mora here. One adjusted his glove, revealing the insignia of the Tsaritsa on his cuff before turning back into the night.
Reader's Guide
The organization operates under the direct command of the Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon of Snezhnaya. At its apex sit the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, elite agents wielding power rivaling that of gods without relying on Visions. Below them lie various divisions tasked with espionage, resource acquisition, and military enforcement across Teyvat. Their core ideology centers on overturning the Heavenly Principles and establishing a new world order where humanity is not subject to divine whims. This often puts them at odds with other nations like Mondstadt and Liyue, as they seek to collect stolen Gnoses from fallen Archons. Their actions range from diplomatic negotiations to outright warfare, such as the invasion of Sumeru. Ultimately, every agent serves a singular purpose: to aid the Tsaritsa in her plan to defy Celestia. While viewed as villains by many, they believe their harsh methods are necessary for human salvation. This relentless drive makes them a persistent and dangerous force throughout the known world.
