Background: 400 years ago He was created as a proof of concept by Raiden Ei to create an indestructible Gnosis-bearing puppet. He cried upon his creation, Ei thought it would be cruel to interfere with his fate or destroy him, so she "freed" him, and left him in a slumbering state in a hidden mansion called Shakkei Pavilion, leaving him with a golden feather that identifies him as her creation. After awakening he believed that his creator and mother, saw him as a failure and abandoned him, this was his first betrayal. He found by Katsuragi,and brought to live in Tatarasuna, where he learned about humanity and acquired happy memories, was named Kabukimono. He was naive and filled with goodwill. He craved a human heart, and wondered how can one be a human being without a heart?

They made weapons from crystal marrow that made people sick. Kabukimono came to believe Niwa, a man, left him a box, fled, and sent him to extinguish the furnace, after it was done, Kabukimono opened the box and found a withered heart, Erscher told him this heart came from one of Niwa's victims. This cruel act horrified Kabukimono and in sorrow and anger, left Tatarasuna. Niwa was Kabukimono's second betrayal.

Later, he befriended Taro, a sickly boy from Tatarasuna who promised to live as family., but later died of sickness, breaking his promise, betraying Kabukimono for the last time. He became embittered by both gods and humanity and wandered Inazuma.

Recently, he joined the Fatui and became the 6th Harbinger, also known as The Balladeer. Dottore unsealed his previously sealed electro powers in exchange for Balladeer's willingness to be experimented on.

Balladeer manipulated the Raiden Gokaden incident in an act of revenge against what happened in Tatarasuna, causing the arts of Inazuma's famous five bladesmithing practices to fall from grace.

He became an artificial God empowered by the Electro Gnosis and was defeated, the Electro gnosis taken from him, and lost his powers. Nahida, the Dendro Archon, helped him after he discovered that Dottore was responsible for the Tatarasuna incident and killing Niwa, so he tried to change the past and erase his existence but ended up being forgotten by the world. He lost his memories, was craving a purpose but Nahida helped him regain them, became the Wanderer, abandoning the name Balladeer. The Fatui forgot him and he left them.
