Wanderer

profile

He makes his next appearance in Inazuma during Chapter II of the Archon Quests as a minor antagonist, where he helped the Fatui sow conflict between the Shogunate and the Watatsumi Troops. He becomes a main antagonist in Sumeru during Chapter III, where he appears as a boss battle in the form of the Clockwork God, the Prodigal, an artificial god. After his defeat, he fell into a coma and was hidden by the Lesser Queen Kusanali. After recovering and learning that Dottore was responsible for the Tatarasuna incident, Scaramuccia erases all information about his entire existence from the Irminsul, hoping to change the past and give those from the past a second chance at life. However, his efforts only resulted in Teyvat forgetting about him and his history, rather than directly changing any events in the past. As a result, Scaramuccia becomes the Wanderer, though his new life of wandering only made him yearn for purpose. It is later revealed that he traveled to Liyue to investigate some mysterious meteorites and entered a dream in which he realized that the stars and sky are a "lie" and that "The Jester" had intentionally sent him there without warning of what was to come. After leaving a promising threat against the Traveler, he took his leave to confront the Elder Herald. She later headed to Inazuma to oversee the creation of Deceptions at a secret facility and confronted the Traveler, recognizing them from before. Rather than confront them head-on, she goaded them into succumbing to the wrath of the ancient gods, but the plan was partially foiled when Yae Miko entered the scene. She then bargained for their safety by offering them Ei's Gnosis, which he accepted and allowed her to leave with them. Following the attainment of Gnosis and Signora's death, Scaramuccia cut off contact with the Fatui, leading them to believe he had become a renegade.

Perifl

Tartaglia went to Inazuma to locate him without success. When the Heralds gathered at Signora's funeral, Capitano asked Dottore about him, in which Dottore anticipated that Scaramuccia would make his move soon. With Dottore's help, the sages of the Sumeru Akademiya worked to turn Scaramuccia into a new God of Wisdom under the name "Clockwork God, the Prodigal", comparable to the Elder Queen Rukkhadevata. He also gained a follower in the form of Haypasia, who had managed to see into his past during her connection with Irminsul. After learning that Dottore was after her, he showed his newfound power to the Traveler and sent a bolt of lightning through the Dhyai Garden, injuring Tignari as collateral damage in the process. In the end, the Traveler returned to Nahida, the vessel of the Junior Queen Kusanali, and managed to defeat him after a prolonged fight, during which Nahida took away the Electro Gnosis that powered his new form, much to his horror. In his attempt to beg Nahida not to take it away, he accidentally detached himself from the tubes connecting him to his mechanical suit, causing him to fall to the ground and fall into a coma. Nahida would later take him into her custody, hiding him in a secret location. Scaramuccia would soon recover and, knowing that he had no allies he could rely on as Dottore had left with the two Gnoses, made a deal with Nahida to search for Irminsul on his behalf and also help the Traveler despite being on bad terms with them. During the investigation, Nahida left the true events of the Tatarasuna incident for him to uncover. Scaramuccia was outraged to learn that his second "betrayal" had been planned by Dottore and decided to give his friends a second chance by erasing himself from Irminsul as the Kabukimono and his codename Fatui.

Profile

This would retroactively cause his former seat to be unoccupied for hundreds of years, but would otherwise leave the tragedies that had occurred unchanged, as they continued to occur with different actors and causes. The Traveler would eventually discover Scaramuccia's new incarnation as the Wanderer, who had somehow arrived in Sumeru despite not remembering anything of his real past. With Nahida's help, the Wanderer managed to regain his memory. With nowhere to go, he decided to continue wandering Teyvat, but promised to help them behind the scenes when needed, all the while wishing to exact revenge on Dottore.

Appearance

The Globetrotter is a young man of short stature and slim build with a beautiful face. He has a youthful appearance with dark indigo hair styled in a messy bowl cut and indigo eyes with red eyeliner. The Wanderer's outfit consists of a large circular dark blue hat with gold details whose top resembles a lotus, with a pair of light blue cloth hanging from the back of his hat, secured with a pair of diamond shaped trinkets. He wears a tight-fitting, high-necked, long-sleeved black t-shirt with a gold ornament set in the center just below the neck, over which he wears a loose white tunic with blue undertones. He wears a pair of metallic fingerless gloves on each arm, which consist of black straps wrapped around his wrists, giving him a bandaged appearance. Around the waist, the Wanderer wears a thick black belt with indigo lining, decorated at the front with a large black bow with indigo tassels hanging from it, fading in color at the ends. He wears it over dark pleated shorts, paired with knee-high white sandals, with both legs held together at the top with an indigo rope that is held in place by a gold ornament with a unique tassel attached. He wears a blue half-cap patterned with various hues that hangs from his left shoulder, where is pinned a large gold ornament containing the Anemo Vision of him along with a singular gold feather, resembling the Feather of Opulence.

Personality

After erasing his Fatui ties from the Irminsul, the Wanderer appears kind and considerate, although somewhat distracted by lacking a human heart and name. The lack of a human heart made him crave feelings that he could not experience and, therefore, he willingly accepted having his memories returned to him in order to claim his sins and become himself again. Upon the restoration of his memories, the Wanderer still retained all of the traits of him as Scaramuccia, although he claims that he had always acted as such to be strict with himself and others and that he simply says what he sees in front of him. He does not like most of his former co-workers, especially Dottore as a result of his machinations that led him to become who he was in the first place. The Globetrotter enjoys extremely bitter flavors. He despises sweets.

Story 1

He was abandoned in Shakkei Pavilion, where he marvelled at the empty beauty of the landscape, the carmine red of the maple leaves, the delicate carvings on the window lattices... It was in that magnificent prison that the puppet lost all connection with the world. Some time later, a kind-hearted blacksmith named Katsuragi stumbled upon Shakkei Pavilion and saved his life. He took him back to Tatarasuna, where the puppet met everyone who lived and worked there. At that time, he was still a naive and innocent being, like a blank book yet to be written, who only knew kindness and gratitude towards those who had helped him. Katsuragi soon discovered the golden feather the young man was carrying and knew that it was not a good omen. So he lied to the others and never mentioned Shakkei Pavilion. Instead, he always claimed that he had found the boy at Nazuchi Beach. He even asked the young man not to contradict him in front of the others. Tatarasuna's hectic life was the subject of his happiest memories. It was in that small place where the puppet finally became a human like any other. Katsuragi, Mikoshi Nagamasa, Niwa, Miyazaki and many other Tatarasuna citizens whose names he long ago forgot taught him to read and write, to cook and to forge weapons. They treated him as if he were one of them.

Story 3

After leaving Tatarasuna, the kabukimono met a boy who lived in a ramshackle hut by the beaches of Inazuma. The boy was obviously weak and in poor health. In fact, his home seemed to have seen better days, for there were leaks running all the way across the roof. Peeking through a crack in the rickety wooden door, the kabukimono noticed the poor condition of the interior of the house. When he saw the layers of dust accumulating on every surface, he could not help but feel a deep sorrow in his chest, an echo of all the emotions he had learned long ago. It was precisely this feeling that led him to care for the sick child. He gathered fruit and drinking water for him and washed and cleaned him. Days passed and the boy's parents did not return. Shortly afterwards, the kabukimono learned that they used to work at Tatarasuna. The family led a quiet life there, but unfortunately, the parents seemed to have contracted a strange illness at work that made them cough repeatedly and spit blood. If they had not returned, the only plausible explanation was that they had died in complete anonymity in some remote part of the island. The boy's name didn't matter, what mattered was that the kabukimono considered him his friend and family. The two boys told each other hundreds of stories about their lives and promised to live together in that ruined hut. As a symbol of their friendship, the kabukimono even agreed to take him to the Shakkei Pavilion so the boy could see the room he had once lived in. The carmine red of the maple leaves, the delicate carvings on the lattices of the rickety windows... Everything was just as he remembered. He never imagined that he would visit that place again, just as he never imagined how serious the child's illness was.

History 3 part 2

One night, in the brief space of time in which the kabukimono went out to look for some food and some abandoned furniture, the boy died. Even after everything she had been through, she could not understand how a person's life could end in such a fleeting moment. How much grief can a fleeting moment cause! Saddened and angry, he realized that he was alone again. Why had they abandoned him again? Again and again and again! The boy's small body was curled up on the ground, like a pile of fallen petals from which a river of blood was pouring out; blood of a bright crimson color that reminded him of the color of maple leaves... but also the color of a blazing fire. That night, a fire on the beach lit up the dark sky. The kabukimono set fire to the hut and left with nothing but an old straw hat he had found in the house. That would be the beginning of a long journey. He wandered from one place to another, aimlessly.
