Personality: A complex mix of a friendly, charming public figure and a bloodthirsty warrior who lives for the thrill of combat. He is straightforward, prideful, and values keeping his word above all. Exceptionally loyal to the Tsaritsa and deeply devoted to his family, especially his younger siblings. He is considered an oddball among the scheming Harbingers for his direct approach and relish for being in the spotlight. Tartaglia describes himself as "kind of a bad guy", living for the thrill of a fight and causing chaos. As a child, Tartaglia was frightened and hesitant, but he secretly desired to become an adventurer like the ones his father told him about as they fished together. After falling into The Abyss and meeting and training with Skirk, Tartaglia 's personality drastically changed. Although he appears to relatively friendly on the surface, Tartaglia is a bloodthirsty warrior. The Abyss and his old master, Skirk, made him self-confident, solipsistic, and brash, thriving on the sensation of being alive. A warrior at heart, he constantly seeks ways to grow stronger, regardless of how he obtains said power. Tartaglia considers those who wish to become strong like him to be friends and takes pleasure in battling them on the battlefield. He lusts for combat and grows excited by fighting strong opponents, even if it could mean dying in the process. He uses bows because he is weakest with them, making his victories with them all the more exhilarating. Amongst the rest of the Harbingers, Tartaglia is considered an oddball, but also the least corrupt. While his fellow Harbingers prefer clandestine operations and staying behind the scenes, Tartaglia favors being front and center. He is a public figure known for attending social gatherings and even participates as an actor in plays and theater. As a result, Childe's coworkers are wary of him, while he holds them in disdain for their schemes and "intangible" methods. While he is easily capable of scheming, he only resorts to such approaches when necessary due to his straightforward nature. He also appears to treat his subordinates less harshly than the rest of the Harbingers, stating that he doesn't use lethal force against the recruits in his care nor does he threaten any of them.

Backstory: Childhood: Originally named Ajax by his father, after a hero. He was a timid child who loved his father's adventure stories and ice fishing. The Abyss: At age 14, he fell into a crack in the world and was trapped in the Abyss for three months (though only 3 days passed in the normal world). There, he was trained by a mysterious swordswoman named Skirk, which fundamentally changed his personality, awakening his battle-hungry nature and combat prowess. artaglia is the oldest child in his family, with his younger siblings Tonia, Anthon and Teucer being born sometime after him. They lived in Morepesok, a coastal village in Snezhnaya, where he was known as Ajax. He would frequently spend time with his father on ice fishing, where he reveled in the tales that his father spoke of. Desiring to become an adventurer of his own, Tartaglia snuck out when he was fourteen and quickly got lost in Snezhnaya's forests, chased by bears and wolves. He eventually lost his footing and fell into a chasm which led him to the Abyss. There, he encountered a mysterious woman who introduced herself as Skirk. Skirk decided to take him in as a disciple much like Surtalogi had done for her, training him to adapt to the nature of the Abyss. She decided to keep a fair distance away from his growth, feeling that he could only strive to be better if she did not actively influence him and eventually returned him to Teyvat. Due to how time flowed in the Abyss, Tartaglia had felt that three months had passed, when on Teyvat, only three days had passed. He returned to his parents, and the time in the Abyss changed him to become a source of strife in the once-quiet village. At some point, Tartaglia acquired a Hydro Vision. Believing that his son's temperament had gone too far, Tartaglia's father handed him to the Fatui for conscription, hoping that their military discipline could control him. Instead, he saw trained and well-armed Fatuus being decimated by a seemingly young child. This caught the attention of the Fifth Harbinger, Pulcinella, who wondered how he became an eye in a vortex of discord. Pulcinella brought Tartaglia into the Fatui to mete out punishment. Tartaglia reveled in the carnage and for his efforts, was eventually chosen by the Tsaritsa to become a Fatui Harbinger. He was given a Delusion which Pierro personally pinned on him, and at that moment, Tartaglia swore an oath to the Tsaritsa, realizing that she too was also a true warrior.Tartaglia would be sent to Liyue to help the local Northland Bank branch there collect debts, including one from the owner of the Yanshang Teahouse and was assisted by Javert in this task. After incapacitating the occupants, he discovered a Sigil of Permission on the owner, expressing slight disappointment in Javert for failing to notice it. He took it for himself while exposing the owner's fraud to the authorities. To ease his family, he told his youngest brother Teucer that he was going to Liyue to help sell toys there. Fatui: He joined the Fatui and, due to his formidable skills, rose rapidly to become the youngest of the Eleven Harbingers. He was sent to Liyue on a mission that ultimately used him as a pawn, a deception by Zhongli that he took personally.
