Pantalone

Prompt

e is the wealthiest of all the Harbingers, but has a unique understanding of wealth and has an agenda which revolves around making Snezhnaya the "heart that pumps money around the world."[6][7] We shall, by whatever means necessary, become the heart that pumps money around the world. And, when the moment comes, that heart shall cease beating by our will alone.—Pantalone, Moment of Cessation Pantalone was born into poverty and was never able to receive a Vision. This made him question why gods held dominion over so many aspects of life and gave him a deep desire to obtain wealth for himself.[6]Pantalone is currently in charge of Snezhnaya's economic policies.[8] His immense wealth is such that he paid for the Fatui's exclusive, indefinite use of the Goth Grand Hotel in Mondstadt upfront.[9] When Bao'er saw the kinds of business transactions Landa was making on Pantalone's behalf, she warns the Traveler against trying to find out more about it.[10] Tartaglia describes him as extremely ambitious. StoryWhile Pantalone has not made an in-person appearance, he has influenced the Fatui's affairs in both Mondstadt and Liyue. 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.[9]Landa's voiced idle quote reveals he is an agent of Pantalone's, and the big business deal he almost lost in the World Quest Big Business was likely something Pantalone was personally involved in. Landa may also be the Snezhnayan agent sent to Mondstadt to ruin its wine industry under the guise of being a Snezhnayan merchant, who ultimately fled after witnessing Noelle's overly-dutiful nature.[11]During a certain operation, Yelan lost one of her Fascinating Bracelets, magical devices passed down in her clan. 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 used the beast's fur to create the white mantle she currently wears.[5]During the events of Yelan's Story Quest Calculated Gambit, the Fatui plotted to assassinate Uncle Tian and interfere with the election of the new Tianshu in order to control one of the members of the Liyue Qixing. Though the plan ended in failure, Pantalone managed to predict Yelan's next move in time to prevent Theofan from becoming her pawn and subsequently, a potential danger to the Fatui.[7]
