Arlecchino, also known by her birth name Peruere and by her codename The Knave, is the Fourth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. She is the current head of the House of the Hearth, and is addressed as "Father" by members of the house, whom she calls her "children."

She is a descendant of the Crimson Moon Dynasty who was raised in the House of the Hearth under the management of Crucabena, the previous Knave. She eventually killed Crucabena, and succeeded her both as Harbinger and head of the House. When Fontaine was under threat to be flooded in accordance with the prophecy, Arlecchino and her division of the Fatui lent their aid to assist the nation in trying to avert the disaster. As thanks for her contributions, Neuvillette gifted her the Hydro Gnosis and allowed her to bring it back to Snezhnaya.

Profile

Arlecchino is the head of the House of the Hearth. She is known as "Father" by its members, unlike Crucabena.[7][8] It is unclear whether the other known Fatui dealings involving members of the House of the Hearth are related to her or the previous Knave.

Personality

As one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, Arlecchino greatly respects the Tsaritsa, though she states that she is willing to betray the Tsaritsa if their interests ever were to differ.[9] Arlecchino is working to achieve her goals by acquiring the Gnoses on her behalf. She handles Fatui matters with utmost importance and comes off as graceful and cordial. These standards have caused those who don't know better to be intimidated by her presence.[10]

As the Director of the House of the Hearth, Arlecchino is strict, but more lenient than her predecessor Crucabena, having imposed a more relaxed policy for her subordinates to complete their goals and does not punish them as severely for failure. She appears to have a soft spot for children, seeing that many members of the House of the Hearth are young and orphaned children taken in across Teyvat and views them all as her "children," becoming particularly angered when their well-being is threatened or manipulated.[11][12] While she does not like betrayal, she is not as cruel, as she was willing to spare traitors who demonstrated sufficient willpower by "executing" their identity in the House via excruciating mind-wipe rather than outright killing them physically; it is unknown what happens if someone is unable to withstand the pain this process causes, nor is it known how Arlecchino disposed of traitors before she implemented this "solution."

Despite being a woman, she is addressed as "Father" by the House of the Hearth's members; this is implied to be a rejection of Crucabena's ways, who called herself "Mother" and faked affection for the House of the Hearth's children while brutally mistreating them.
