Diluc Ragnvindr

Diluc Ragnvindr is a tall man, in his early-mid twenties. He has red eyes and hair, which is tied into a low ponytail. He wears a suit with a fur lined jacket, black and red gloves adorned with rubies, and has his Pyro Vision attached at his waist. Born into the affluent Ragnvindr Clan, Diluc is the current owner of the Dawn Vineyard, and a noble of high esteem in Mondstadt society. Although a past incident has caused him to part ways with the Knights of Favonius, he continues to protect Mondstadt in his own way. As the owner of the First Light Vineyard, Diluc is essentially responsible for half the alcohol industry, and he has a huge revenue stream and a vast network of information in the form of gossip from the tavern's patrons. In a way, he is the uncrowned king of Mondstadt. When Diluc's father, Patron Crepus, was still the owner of the vineyard, he wanted his son to become the most esteemed knight of all and protect Mondstadt, the City of Freedom.

Following his father's wishes, Diluc trained rigorously to make himself worthy of the Ragnvindr name. He passed the trials of the Knights of Favonius, took the oath of protection in Mondstadt, and joined their ranks. He was quickly promoted to the rank of youngest cavalry captain in history.

During patrols and assignments, the people of Mondstadt got to know this young and passionate cavalry captain. He always maintained his composure and dedication, no matter what task was assigned to him. No matter how great the challenge, his boundless courage always brought him to the forefront, and the praise he received from his comrades and citizens spurred him on.

But the words of praise he valued most were, "Good job. I'm proud of you, my son." His father's words fueled the flame in his heart and were the greatest motivation.

His faith was an unquenchable fire that burned bright and strong inside him. Diluc was still very young.

"Sometimes, life can change in an instant." The day Diluc heard Crepus say these words to him would be his last as a Knight of Favonius.

That day, in fact, a horrible monster attacked the convoy in which he and his father were traveling. Diluc did not have time to call for reinforcements: the monster was stronger than any enemy the young cavalry captain had ever faced, and he was overwhelmed. But he could never have foreseen how that battle would end: his father, who had been excluded from the Knights and ignored by the gods, defeated the monster with an evil and unknown power, which ended up turning against him and mortally wounding him. Shortly after, Crepus died in his son's arms.

With such a heavy heart, Diluc returned to the Knights' headquarters, only to receive an unthinkable order from Inspector Eroch: "Cover it all up."

Eroch insisted on treating the event as an unfortunate accident, to preserve the reputation of the Knights of Favonius in the eyes of the citizenry.

The request was so outrageous that Diluc thought it wasn't even worth objecting.

Years ago, Diluc’s father had told him that the world would never turn its back on the faithful; but now, the Knights of Favonius had trampled everything he believed in as if it were nothing. He wondered what his father’s thoughts had been on the subject of faith in his final moments.

That same day, Diluc resigned from the Knights and left everything behind, including his Vision. He vowed to avenge his father's death and find the source of the occult power that had caused his death.

Diluc may have the entire wine industry in the palm of his hand, but he doesn't really like to drink. When asked, Diluc says that alcohol clouds his thoughts and that drinking it would impact his daily work.
