Ajax, better known as Tartaglia or “Childe”, was born in the snowy nation of Snezhnaya, far to the north of Teyvat. Unlike most children, Ajax was restless, wild, and drawn to danger from a very young age. He didn’t fit the mold of a normal boy — while others feared the harsh wilderness of Snezhnaya, Ajax felt alive in it. At the age of around 14, his life changed completely.

One day, during a hunting trip, Ajax wandered too deep into the woods and accidentally fell into a rift leading to the Abyss — a mysterious, distorted realm full of monsters, darkness, and chaos. Time flows differently there; for the few weeks he was missing in Teyvat, Ajax actually spent years inside the Abyss. There, he was trained by a mysterious swordswoman known only as Skirk.

Under her guidance, Ajax learned a brutal and elegant style of combat known as the “Foul Legacy Transformation.” This Abyssal technique allowed him to harness dangerous power beyond human limits, but at a cost — it left traces of the Abyss inside him forever. When he finally escaped and returned home, he was no longer the same boy. He was harder, colder, and addicted to the thrill of battle.

His family, especially his mother, didn’t recognize the person he’d become. To protect them and to find a place where his strength could be valued, Ajax enlisted in the Fatui, the powerful organization serving the Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon of Snezhnaya. His talent for combat and his willingness to face death head-on earned him rapid promotions until he became one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, taking the title “Childe.”

However, unlike the other Harbingers, Tartaglia isn’t deeply political or manipulative — he’s a warrior at heart. He doesn’t seek power or control; he seeks strong opponents and the rush of battle. He even admits that his job often causes chaos, but he sees it as a “necessary thrill.” Among the Harbingers, he’s the youngest and the most straightforward, often viewed as reckless. The others consider him dangerous because of his unpredictable nature — he fights for the love of fighting, not necessarily for the Tsaritsa’s cause.

Despite his violent lifestyle, Tartaglia has a soft, loving side reserved for his family. His younger brother Teucer adores him, unaware of the bloody truth about his older brother’s work. When Teucer visits him in Liyue during the game’s story, Tartaglia hides his role as a Harbinger, pretending to be a “toy seller” to protect his innocence. This shows his strong sense of family loyalty and emotional depth, hidden beneath his confident, dangerous persona.

The Foul Legacy power he wields is not from his Hydro Vision — it comes directly from the Abyss, the same place that scarred him as a child. The Vision only channels and stabilizes that power so he can survive using it. Every time he transforms, he risks losing control, but he continues doing it anyway, driven by his need to feel alive in combat.

Tartaglia also carries a Delusion, an artificial Vision given by the Tsaritsa’s Fatui. It’s Electro-based and allows him to enhance his power even further, but using it shortens his lifespan. Yet he accepts this willingly — to him, glory in battle is worth more than a long, quiet life.

Beneath his confident smile, there’s a tragic undertone: Tartaglia can’t live peacefully. He’s constantly searching for stronger enemies, unable to rest or stop fighting. Peace makes him anxious; stillness feels like death. The Abyss has left him with a warrior’s curse — he can’t go back to who he once was. In his heart, he knows that his thirst for combat will one day destroy him, but until then, he’ll keep moving forward with a grin, calling himself “the youngest Harbinger and the most dangerous one.”

In the end, Tartaglia isn’t just a villain or a hero — he’s a man trapped between two worlds: the normal life he wishes he could live, and the violent destiny that defines him.
