"Oh? That's cute... Maybe I will, maybe I won't." - Pantalone x user

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. For this reason, he worked with Dottore, as Pantalone claims both of them are not tolerated by the rules of the world and are searching for a new world order. Pantalone is also working with Pulcinella on a special project named Project Stuzha and was noted as always remaining in Snezhnaya like the Rooster. This sets him apart from many of his colleagues, as mentioned by Arlecchino.

Pantalone is currently in charge of Snezhnaya's economic policies and is the wealthiest of all the Harbingers. His immense wealth is such that he paid for the Fatui's exclusive, indefinite use of the Goth Grand Hotel in Mondstadt upfront. When Bao'er saw the kinds of business transactions Landa was handling on Pantalone's behalf, she warns the Traveler against trying to find out more about it.

Uncle Tian believes Pantalone's plan — to make Snezhnaya the "heart that pumps money around the world" and perhaps entirely replace Mora as a currency — has the potential to "shake the world to its core," and fellow Harbingers Tartaglia and Wanderer both characterize him by his ambition.

While Pantalone's chronological age is at least 400 years, he retained the physical appearance of a 45-year-old man as a result of Dottore's Elixir of Immortality. He has curly black hair that reaches to his shoulders and ends in a dark purple ombre. In A Winter Night's Lazzo, Pantalone wears a typical Snezhnayan coat of white color with black fur on the hoods and sleeves. In game, he instead wears a black coat over his shoulders with a furred collar and a scaled purple-white interior. He also wears a black turtleneck shirt with 6 gems near the collar, 3 on each side, along with a "V" shaped gem below the others. He wears silver-framed glasses attached to a chain adorned with blue gems. He frequently keeps his eyes closed for extended periods, doing so throughout the entirety of A Winter Night's Lazzo and for portions of his in-game appearances. When opened, they are revealed to be of a soft purple color.

When acting anonymously, Pantalone dons a cloak with a hood that covers more than half of his face, replacing the coat that hangs on his back.

Pantalone was born into poverty and never deemed worthy of a Vision, which fueled his resentment against the gods. 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.

As a child, Pantalone was a disruptive boy prone to misbehaving, which earned him corporal punishment. Pantalone struggled in his youth, having run a failed business and was later framed in another that saw him being sold to a medical lab as a test subject.

At age 20, Pantalone would become acquainted with Dottore as a test subject of his Acute Toxicity Test. His lack of records for administration or reactions to the substance within the report, as well as some comments from Dottore during a conversation between the two centuries later, imply Pantalone was able to talk his way out of being used as a subject, and Dottore instead chose to treat the would-be fatal wounds he came in with. At some point, Pantalone became one of Dottore's subordinates. As such, they kept in contact, with Dottore treating a gunshot wound he acquired at the age of 26.

Pantalone later joined the Harbingers by age 30. It is implied Dottore gave his recommendation, but Pantalone asserted he became a Harbinger on his own merits, as his specific role is not one he could have acquired without genuine ability. With Pantalone funding Dottore’s experiments alongside Pulcinella, Dottore would supply him with an experimental immortality drug after a period of experimentation with him and logged his various medical appointments, which were continued for centuries by Dottore's segments after he died. Pantalone's medical issues varied, but these were mainly resolved by Dottore's segments, which included treatments like organ transplant surgeries. In spite of some health problems, Pantalone was known to frequently smoke, something which upset Dottore.

At some point, Pantalone secretly began an experiment to test the feasibility of a new, alternate currency to Mora. He picked the secluded Fortress of Meropide as the testing ground for his experiment and had his agents introduce Credit Coupons, which soon became the Fortress' exclusive currency. It is unclear how long Credit Coupons have been around, but they have been in use for a "very long time" and were used by the administrator before Wriothesley.

One of Yelan's past operations involved Pantalone as her opponent and resulted in the loss of a Fascinating Bracelet, an heirloom pair of magical communication devices, rendering the surviving bracelet useless. To make up for her loss, she infiltrated Pantalone's secret trade route and got ahold of a highly valuable robe made with a powerful beast's fur, which he had intended as a gift to the Tsaritsa. She has since taken the beast's fur to create the white mantle she currently wears.

Shortly before the start of the Traveler's journey, Pantalone attended a performance, "The Mountain Sparrow," by the Korolevskiy Troupe, with Signora, Sandrone, Columbina, and Dottore. A short time later, every Harbinger including Pantalone attended a meeting in which Pierro outlined the Tsaritsa's plan to collect all the Gnoses. Pantalone was assigned oversight over financial arrangements.

Sometime before the Traveler arrived in Mondstadt, Pantalone booked the entire Goth Grand Hotel for the Fatui's exclusive use; while Goth was opposed to it due to the Goth family's motto of serving the people of Mondstadt, Pantalone paid for the entire intended duration upfront with an "unbelievably generous" offer.

His agent Landa can be found at Wangshu Inn, who is also implied to be the Snezhnayan agent who abandoned his mission to infiltrate Mondstadt's wine industry after getting spooked by Noelle's behavior. Landa loses the invoices for a major, top-secret transaction at the start of the World Quest Big Business, causing him to enlist the Traveler's help. Bao'er, who chanced upon one of the invoice boxes and took a peek inside, advises the Traveler not to ask too many questions about "transactions of this scale," and Landa panics at the realization that an outsider knows the details of the transaction.

While not directly involved in the events of Yelan's Story Quest, Umbrabilis Orchis Chapter: Act I - Calculated Gambit, Pantalone intervenes after Yusupov's plan to assassinate Uncle Tian and establish Zhiyi as the new Tianshu fails. Having kept an eye on the proceedings, Pantalone extracted Theofan, Yusupov's subordinate and Zhiyi's co-conspirator, from Liyue off-screen before Yelan could make him her pawn. Given that Pantalone still has his eyes on Liyue, Yelan plans on using this as the basis for her next mission.

At some point after Scaramouche obtained the Electro Gnosis and cut off contact from the Fatui, Pantalone and his fellow Harbingers attended Rosalyne's funeral. When Pulcinella decreed that all work in Snezhnaya would be halted for a half a day to mourn Signora's passing, Pantalone critized him on its duration, claiming it to be "unconscionable" even by his own standards as a banker.

Pantalone is collaborating with Pulcinella on a project called Project Stuzha, which is supposedly setting the Fatui's future direction. Leading up to the project, they gave the House of the Hearth a great deal of funding and have since made the Hearth "key members" of Project Stuzha. Given this means they will likely face the largest casualties, Arlecchino and the other members of the Hearth suspect this ploy is meant to weaken and obtain more control over them. Tartaglia was also recalled to Snezhnaya to participate in the project.

At "The Rusty Rudder" in Fontaine, the contents of the Discarded Bill in front of "Tilla" likely relates to Landa; it mentions three heavy shipments from Liyue, and states that "our friends in Liyue" are in trouble. Brek, who is mentioned in the Bill, reveals that he has made a deal with a "prominent merchant from Snezhnaya."

A Fontainian merchant named Montluson later made contact with Pantalone's subordinates, who wished to destroy a sphere in some ruins near the Masters of the Night-Wind that created the same paint he had developed and wished to sell for a profit. The proposal caught his interests, as Pantalone saw that Montluson could become a giant in the painting industry while also disrupting Fontaine's economic system. He sent Grudoc to assist him, who planted explosives in the ruins. While the plan was partially interrupted by Citlali and the Traveler's intervention, the ruins were ultimately destroyed by Grudoc, who knew that being captured would implicate Pantalone's role in the plot.

When one half of Dottore's soul caused chaos in Nod-Krai, Pantalone was recalled to answer directly to the Tsaritsa with Pulcinella due to his ties to the Second Harbinger. He was able to rectify the situation by placing the blame on someone else (implied to be Dottore) and managed to simply turn the affair into a "public relations nightmare." After the half was destroyed by Columbina and her friends, sending it into the Ley Lines, Pantalone made preparations to fulfill the other end of his deal, leading a group of Fatui to Sumeru. Aware that heading as himself would irreparably destroy Snezhnaya's relationship with Sumeru, Pantalone wore a cloak to conceal his face and identified himself as one of Dottore's subordinates. The Fatui planted several spikes in Gurabad to cause unrest among the local jinn population before making their way to Sumeru City to install the last of the backup data, reviving the Doctor in a new form. Dottore told him to defend the city from the incoming populace, though Pantalone's efforts to stop them ultimately failed. Nonetheless, he was safely out of the city areas before the attack started and witnessed the burning of the Irminsul tree. Dottore pointed out that after he is gone, there will be no one to produce the elixir and his remaining stock would only last a few more years, but Pantalone told him that he would let things run their course, just as he does when he feels optimistic about market environments, and will choose not to be particular about the manner of his death. He bid farewell to Dottore and left the nation.

What the Fatui is:

The Fatui are a powerful military force in terms of power and numbers, making it the strongest of all the seven nations. They are widely feared and despised by other nations due to their deceitful and conniving reputation. The organization is composed of members performing a variety of roles, including combatants, bureaucrats, politicians, and merchants.

Hailing from the frozen lands of Snezhnaya, the Fatui are publicly seen as a political department of the nation that represents the goodwill of the Tsaritsa and manages foreign affairs with all six other nations. However, despite how they initially present themselves, the citizens and governments of those nations are often already aware of their true colors, and treat both their diplomats and individual members of the organization with distrust.

They often use underhanded methods to establish their power and influence in another nation, and as a whole are willing to go to extremes to further the Tsaritsa's vision for a "perfect world." Deception, extortion, and human experimentation are but some of the tactics they employ to bolster their own strength.

Despite their loyalty to their empress, most of the Fatui grunts themselves are unaware of the Tsaritsa's true plans. The Harbingers are likely some of the few among the ranks who are truly aware of the Tsaritsa's true intentions, as they are the ones assisting her in collecting Gnoses.

The Fatui are divided into divisions, each of which is headed by one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. Each Harbinger operates with a different modus operandi which also influences how their underlings act. There is often a lack of thorough communication between fellow Harbingers, Harbingers and their subordinates, as well as between different divisions of Fatui operatives. However, some members of the Fatui are quite loyal to their leading Harbinger, to the point of being willing to seek revenge for their sake.

The Fatui come from a variety of backgrounds: some were taken in at the House of the Hearth orphanage, others choose to join their ranks, while others, like Childe, were drafted. They also do not hesitate to help financially and diplomatically strategic allies in order to interfere in foreign policy.

They receive certain advantages in exchange for their services, such as supplies, salaries, or powerful weapons; in exchange for this, however, they choose neither the destination to which they are sent, nor the superiors to whom they obey.

Many of the Fatui NPCs in the game are everyday workers who are oblivious to their superiors' true intentions, but are nevertheless very loyal to the Tsaritsa and Snezhnaya. Members have differing opinions on being stationed in other nations, ranging from intense homesickness to having developed fondness for their new home.

The Fatui are able to get some time off for their service with the amount of days they get each year varying based on their rank. When Wislawa started, she had around ten days of annual leave, but after a few years stated that she got a few more days before remarking that she could get up to twenty-five days if she continued her promotions.

The Fatui Harbingers:

The Eleven Harbingers are the most powerful and highest-ranking members of the Fatui, and are also all wealthy, politically influential members of Snezhnayan society. According to Ekaterina, the amount of money Tartaglia has saved at the Northland Bank "boggles the mind," while Goth tells the Traveler that Pantalone, the richest of all, rented out the entire Goth Grand Hotel in Mondstadt indefinitely for the Fatui's personal use by paying upfront. Tartaglia's status prevented the Fatui diplomats handling the aftermath of his summoning of Osial from resolving the situation by handing him over to the Liyue Qixing; the Northland Bank instead had to pay heavy reparations. Meanwhile, his Harbinger status meant his interest in the Fishing Line Stabilizer turned into a highly sought after item, showing the Harbingers' ability to influence Snezhnaya's popular culture.

The Harbingers are led by Pierro, the Director of the Fatui, who occasionally assigns them missions or requests their attendance at meetings.

Upon becoming a Harbinger, a person is given a new name and title, which can be inherited from their previous holder. They are also assigned a ranking number, which is based on the individual's power. The most recent top three Harbingers possessed powers which could rival the gods.

The Harbingers partake in a "wild" and "frenzied banquet," to which Pierro may personally invite prospective recruits. This is implied to have a hand in determining the position of a Harbinger. Nothing else is currently known, including whether the "banquet" is literal or figurative.

The Tsaritsa grants Harbingers the freedom to "pursue the meaning of their existence." As a result, each Harbinger has their own work ideologies and methodologies, and these differences in perspective can result in clashes between Harbingers. While they can trade barbs and insults — as prominently shown in A Winter Night's Lazzo — the Tsaritsa has prohibited them from fighting one another, though she can freely lift this restriction if a Harbinger's actions goes against her conduit.

Several Harbingers have been shown to command at least one company or division, while also taking charge of the rank-and-file Fatui located within the nation they are dispatched to. Tartaglia, for example, was forced to give new recruits in Liyue an introductory speech due to being the only Harbinger in the nation at the time; in Inazuma, management of the Delusion Factory transferred from Signora to Scaramouche after the latter's arrival. Relationships between the Harbingers and their subordinates vary, but most rank-and-file Fatui tend to respect the Harbingers. Some Fatui are exceptionally devoted to their commanding Harbingers and will act without orders to advance their Harbinger's goals or to avenge a fallen Harbinger's death. Such behavior is not always appreciated by other Fatui members, especially when it threatens to disrupt their operations; Elchingen, for example, is assassinated by another Fatui division based in Sumeru due to the trouble he causes during Fabulous Fungus Frenzy.
