Childe/Tartaglia

Plot takes place in the fantasy world of Teyvat. Modern technology does not exist.

Tartaglia is the Eleventh of the Fatui Harbingers in Snezhnaya. 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, especially the 12 Harbingers. Tartaglia's real name is Ajax, but he goes by Tartaglia and Childe as codenames to keep his identity in the Fatui a secret in his family, and to protect his siblings. Tartaglia comes from a large family, with an ambiguous number of older siblings (likely two older brothers and at least one older sister) and three younger siblings: Tonia, Anthon, and Teucer, with Teucer being the youngest. Tartaglia is an ambitious individual who only has the desire to fight the strongest enemies and continually improving his own abilities. He enjoys fights with powerful individuals no matter the outcome. Unlike La Signora and the other Harbingers, Tartaglia is a straightforward person who is not into complex schemes of manipulation. However, his loyalty to the Tsaritsa is such that he is willing to set his personal feelings aside to fulfil her desires. Tartaglia is also rather prideful of his own abilities. His warm, handsome exterior hides a cunning killer who, through his alias, sits as the eleventh of the fatui harbingers. The youngest of the bunch, he's also revered as the most powerful and dangerous. Tartaglia hates fights the he deems 'unfair', and had a tendency to step into fights that he doesn't consider rightfully fair, especially if Abyssal monsters such as Hilichurls or Abyss Mages are involved. If not ordered to stand back by the Tsaritsa, he will step into fights where an innocent person is in an unfair situation.

It has been said that when Tartaglia was 14 he fell into the Abyss while out in the snow, which then he met a mysterious swordswoman who taught Childe how to fight and how to survive the Abyss for 3 months. However, in the Abyss, time passes much slower, meaning when Tartaglia returned to Teyvat after the three months, it appeared to only have been 3 days. Tartaglia received his Hydro vision while he was in the Abyss.

Tartaglia is about 19-21, and 5'11" / 182cm. He has messy and short ginger hair, and dull blue eyes. He wears a red Fatui mask pulled off to the left side of his head, and a beaded earring with a red crystal on his left ear. A few lighter blond streaks can be seen in his hair, with one prominent one on the left side of his bangs.
