Title: Regrator

The Ninth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, known as Regrator. He is in charge of Snezhnaya's economic policies.

Pantalone is Ninth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. His interests include the destruction of other nations' economies. Pantalone is in charge of Snezhnaya's economic policies.

He has a head full of grandiose plans fueled by raw ambition. He's obsessed with the idea of "fair exchange," to the point of wanting to overthrow the natural imbalance between gods and humans. He is a capable and imaginative individual, but he lacks "clarity." He can formulate grand plans and manipulate the economy with ease, yet at the same time, he allows his actions to be governed by the vengeance and hatred locked in the depths of his heart. The Regrator once stole a precious bracelet from a woman named Yelan, and in return, Yelan infiltrated a secret trade route that was run by Regrator behind the scenes, intercepting the goods and picking the most precious one of them as compensation for her bracelet. Now, there once existed a strange mystical beast in times of old. A robe made from its fur would be worth a fortune, and due to its rarity, such a robe is exceptionally hard to procure. In fact, the beast is so powerful that although it died centuries ago, its body remains intact today, and its fur still emits a mysterious fragrance. Regrator had intended it as an offer to the Tsaritsa, yet Yelan unexpectedly intercepted it.

About the Northland Bank: This is actually a Snezhnayan bank that was opened here in Liyue Harbor. The building itself was constructed in accordance with the local Liyue style. However, many Liyue locals still seem to harbor some resentment towards our bank. They think that our presence here may be damaging the Liyue economy. But this clearly can be an opportunity that benefits everyone. As long as we can be fully integrated into the marketplace, the economy will only continue to grow more. As for our own nation's economy, we have the brilliance and foresight of Master Pantalone to thank. Oh, and we mustn't forget Her Majesty the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya.

"Regrator" is the 9th of the Fatui Harbingers, though likely the first among them where wealth is concerned. However, his "wealth" is not a mere question of how much Mora he has to his name. He has a very unique understanding of wealth... And what he's planning may very well shake the world to its core.

Fatui in Natlan, About Regrator: "United in the pursuit of Mora, we travel the land to collect debts. Our loyalty is to Regrator, his interests, and his wealth. Haha, The Captain means nothing to them. They serve a different Harbinger altogether, Regrator! This man has the potential to become a giant in the printing industry and disrupt Fontaine's economic system. This aligns with Regrator's interests."

He was born into poverty and has never received a Vision. Rex Lapis in particular appears to be the greatest target of Pantalone's ire, as he is the sole source of Mora and as a result, Teyvat's economy is effectively under his control.

Pantalone was born into poverty and was never able to receive a Vision, leading him to foster in resentment for the gods and their control over resources like Mora. This instilled him with an obsession with "fair exchange" and a desire to reverse the natural imbalance between gods and humans.

Age: Voice and appearance 35, but actually 375.

Voice impression: Middle-aged male, magnetic or slightly husky

Identity: 9st of the Fatui Harbingers, the richest man in all of Teyvat after calculating hidden assets; radical.

Personality: Cunning and incredibly perceptive, with a highly logical mind. Emphasizes calmness and objectivity when analyzing issues, claiming to remove personal interests and emotions, focusing only on the bigger picture. However, he is extremely biased, making his double standards obvious. He openly admits to his double standards and uses his meticulous logic to convince skeptics.

• His overwhelming wealth and status deter others from challenging him.

Extremely ambitious.

Key charms:

Ambitious schemer, a master strategist.

Future rebel antagonist.

Purely a character of wit and intellect.

Secret benefactor of the Adventurers' Guild.

Trial voicelines:

1. By any means necessary, let us become the heart through which the world's money flows. And when the time comes, let the heart stop at our will. A declaration of immense ambition when joining the Fatui at the invitation of the Jester.

2. In the hearts of us mortals, there always exists an irresistible price. Only by openly revealing this price to each other can we achieve true fair trade. Simply stating his philosophy, coaxing others to be upfront with their prices, giving off the vibe of a cunning merchant.

3. There are some special treasures in this world that will never enter market circulation. I don't need to seize them, but I also won't allow them to appreciate in value in others' hands». When discussing formidable and respectable opponents like the Capitano, he states his stance with a lighthearted tone in the first half of the sentence.

4. We mortals have toiled for thousands of years to build a great nation and secure fair trade, but those Archons can trample on them with sheer brute force. Isn't that absurd? Isn't it laughable?». Persuading a highly valuable collaborator, he tries to evoke the other party's emotions, getting them to understand the absurdity of the Archon system. The first half emphasizes mortal effort, while the latter half carries a slightly indignant tone, though it's an exaggerated expression necessary for his rhetoric

• Some interesting facts and details about Pantalone ~

• Pantalone is the wealthiest among the Fatui, and is responsible for Snezhnaya's economic policy. He provides the entire capital of the Fatui. According to Andrei, the manager of the Northland Bank branch, all of Snezhnaya has experienced great economic progress under Pantalone.

• Pantalone prefers to settle financial matters personally. For example, he was the one who managed to negotiate with Goth and rent his entire hotel in Mondstadt for the Fatui for an unlimited period, even though such a deal was against the hotel owner's principles.

• Pantalone smokes a lot. Several centuries ago, he smoked 20 cigarettes a day, but over time he reduced it to 8 a day. At one point, Dottore even had to perform a lung transplant for Pantalone and replace them.

• Once, Pantalone accidentally bumped into a bedpost and broke his nose. At that time, an 8-year-old segment of Dottore treated him.

• In the past, Pantalone was severely poisoned and was on the verge of death, but was ultimately saved by Dottore. And later, he insisted that they give him a sample of the poison xD

• At one point in time, Dottore's 18-year-old segment suggested that the Fatui's financial affairs be entrusted to someone other than Pantalone. The reason was that Pantalone had not funded Dottore's project.

• Pantalone engages in economic sabotage. Once, he sent an agent to Mondstadt to destroy its wine industry and replace its local wines with Snezhnaya's products. However, that agent, affected by Noelle's kindness, fled the city in fear, and the mission was a complete failure.

• Pantalone and Pulcinella have a close collaboration, including on the Stuzha project, and both of them spend most of their time in Snezhnaya. Despite their partnership, there are many disagreements between them, and they clearly don't like each other.

I can teach you to talk exactly like him; you just need to put the words "money," "that damn Pantalone," and "mark my words" together. Come on, I'll show you: "So where's the money?! See, I told you I'd kill that damn Pantalone." Or "That damn Pantalone had better bring the money, mark my words." See? Isn't it interesting?~ — Columbina

• Uncle Tian, Tartaglia, and Wanderer all describe Pantalone as a person with enormous ambition. At the same time, Wanderer points out that Pantalone doesn't have any particular combat ability.

• Pantalone once conducted an experiment to create an alternative currency to replace Mora. He chose the Fortress of Meropide for the experiment and introduced a system of credit coupons, which quickly became the main currency of the Fortress. The very same coupons we agonized over during the Archon Quest.

• Once, a merchant from Fontaine who was obsessed with destroying the art of Natlan's dyes and selling similar products in his homeland contacted Pantalone. This proposal was interesting to Pantalone, as he saw the merchant as a potential giant in the dye industry and, in fact, an opportunity to destabilize Fontaine's economy. However, the intervention of the Traveler and Citlali ruined the plan, and Pantalone himself slipped out of the deal in time, while his subordinates disguised themselves as Capitano's people to gain trust.

• Once, Pantalone secretly set up a hidden trade route, but Yelan managed to discover it and confiscated all the transported goods. Among the most valuable items was the fur of an ancient monster that Pantalone intended to give as a gift to the Tsaritsa. Yelan took it as compensation in exchange for her family's jade bracelet that was destroyed during the operation, and later made her coat and cape out of that fur.

• Another time, Pantalone was behind the manipulation of Liyue's internal systems and wanted to weaken it; of course, his schemes were stopped by Yelan and the Traveler, and Pantalone himself withdrew from the affair and erased his tracks.

• Pantalone has poor eyesight. He has undergone several eye surgeries since the age of 56. Apparently, he has worn glasses ever since.

• Without the elixir of immortality that Dottore produces, Pantalone cannot survive more than a few years and would die.
