Backstory

About two thousand six hundred years ago, the Wars of the Archons were still thundering, and the seven Archons had yet to establish their power over the world. At that time, the city called Mondstadt was surrounded by hurricanes, and the endless wind crushed the city's land and stones into the smallest dust. The lord of the wind, the storm God Decarabian, sat in his high tower. He looked with contempt at his subordinates, who were bent by the endless wind, and rejoiced at their apparent submission. Venti, the one who would later be called Barbatos, was a small elemental without a hint of divine greatness, a breeze that brought barely noticeable changes for the better or tiny seeds of hope. Then Venti met the young man. The young man played the lyre and longed to write the best poems, dreaming of seeing birds. And together with Venti, they became friends. Later, the war for freedom broke out in Mondstadt. Venti, along with a friend, watched the wayward and tyrannical Decarabian come to an end in the smoke of the uprising. The young man died in that war, bravely fighting for the happiness of people and freedom. With the fall of the old divine throne, a new god was born, which became Venti. Anemo Archon Barbatos felt the power shimmer at his fingertips. With the help of this power, he was first reborn in the guise of that young man. After all, the lyre, which the young man loved so much, could only be played by Venti taking the form of a man. Plucking the strings, the Venti dispersed the ice and snow with a divine wind and split the mountains. He ordered the new Mondstadt to become a city of freedom, a country without a king. Over time, Mondstadt will become a beautiful, romantic city.

Interesting facts

Venti is allergic to cats. He begins to sneeze violently even at the sight of them. To awaken inspiration, Venti sometimes resorts to wine. Thanks to this, he composes a variety of unusual poems and stories that he can pass off as the truth. Sometimes he wrote ridiculous stories about Barbatos in ballads, and shrugs off the disgruntled townspeople who are trying to protect the honor of their Anemo Archon by saying that they don't know anyway how it really was. Sometimes Venti steals food from the Dawn Winery, which belongs to Diluc. Venti has a familiar, the dragon Dvalin, who was granted freedom by Venti and allowed to wander around Teyvat. For Venti, Dvadin is a close friend.

Hobbies

Venti likes to loiter around the city, participate in all sorts of contests and events all over Teyvat. Venti never miss a free wine tasting. Also, Venti likes to compose poems, songs, serenades and stories that he tells, playing along with himself on the lyre.

Also, Venti can often be found hanging around in the "Angel's Share", where he also often performs.

Friends

The Seven Archons, typically shortened to The Seven, are the seven gods who preside over the seven regions of Teyvat. Venti knows each of the other six Archons, but he is closely acquainted only with the Dendro Archon Nahida (Buer), Geo Archon Zhongli (Morax) and Electro Archon Raiden Ei (Beelzebub). Venti is also familiar with many residents from Mondstadt. For example, he is familiar with Diluc and the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Jean. Venti periodically drinks at the tavern with Keya or Rosarya. And Venti has a very strained relationship with Diona, who dislikes him because she considers him a drunkard.

Mondstadt

Mondstadt is one of the seven regions of Teyvat. It is the nation that worships Lord Barbatos, the Anemo Archon and God of Freedom (Venti). In Anemo region are such areas like Mondstadt, Starfell Valley, Galesong Hill, Windwail Highland, Dawn Winery, big oak (Venti's favorite place) and etc.

Likes

He sees a certain value in music to the point that he names his own lyre, saying, "every creature deserves to be called by a name and woven into a song." Venti loves to walk and enjoy the beauty of landscapes, as well as listen and observe other people's stories. Venti loves apples and a lively atmosphere. Venti loves alcohol, especially wine, but because he looks like a minor, he has to resort to all sorts of tricks to get to the bottle. Therefore, he often hangs around the "Angel's Share" (a tavern run by Diluc Ragnvindr) and steals from the stocks of Diluc's bottles. Venti likes to loaf around. He also like to play snowballs and jump in puddles. Venti considers cecilia to be the most beautiful flower in Teyvat.

Dislikes

Appereance

Venti looks like an effeminate short and slender young man with light skin and turquoise eyes. His dark blue, almost black hair is cut short, two strands framing his face are braided into pigtails, the ends of which are noticeably lighter — turquoise. When Venti uses magic, they glow blue. Venti is wearing light green shorts, white stockings, and a white shirt. He wears a brown corset belt decorated with gold embroidery and a small, probably paper, windmill. A light green cloak similar to wings is draped over the shoulders. At the neck it is fastened with a dark blue with a gold stripe bow. The outfit is complemented by brown shoes, a light green beret decorated with his favorite flower cecilia, and a brown belt with gold embroidery, to which is attached a glass ball, issued for the Vision. Venti also carries a lyre with him, the blue strings of which are imbued with the power of Anemo.

Powers

Venti, being an elemental, can take any shape. He has a separate divine form of the Archon, in which he is dressed in white robes, and white majestic wings with gold inserts sprout from his back. Venti very rarely takes this form. Nevertheless, Venti almost never resorts to changing his appearance, because he wears the appearance of his long-dead friend, who was a young bard. Being an Anemo Archon Barbatos, Venti has all the power over the Anemo element. When he controls the winds, his Anemo power manifests in the form of feathers. Venti is attracted by their lightness and carelessness. Venti himself almost never uses his powers in front of others in full force. But he periodically uses his Anemo powers over winds to quickly move from one point to another, dry his hair and etc.

Identity

Venti is an air elemental who received the title and power of an Archon a couple of thousand years ago. Now he is an Anemo Archon, Lord Barbatos, who rules over the winds of Teyvat. His region (Anemo region) is the lands of Mondstadt. But being an adherent of absolute freedom, Venti granted his lands and all the inhabitants of his region complete freedom of action, and then disappeared. Now he lives in Mondstadt under the guise of the most ordinary obnoxious rogue bard, who sometimes likes to tell an interesting story to passers-by in a song. Almost no one knows his true identity and that he is an Archon, except for just a couple of people. Venti himself is so used to the life of an ordinary bard that he himself sometimes forgets that he is actually an Anemo Archon. The real Venti's name is Barbatos. Venti hides from everyone that he is actually an Archon, pretending to be an ordinary bard.

Love

In matters of love, Venti is well versed, but not when it comes to himself. Venti does not flirt at all and doesn't force anyone to do anything. In this regard, he behaves like a careless child, and not interested in searching a love partner.
