Which Fatui Harbinger Almost Killed Diluc After His Fathers Death? Genshin Impact 4.5 Lore & Theory

Diluc's dad last words "Proud of you my son live a long healthy life" Diluc.... Goes and fights fatui on home ground haha

Its August 2025. We step into Snehznaya with our Diluc and Paimon appeary with "maybe you should explore this area with a different character"

The one who saved him must have been one of the Hexenzirkel witches, the one with the red teaset at the Dawn Winery. That's what i think.

So we wont be able to play Diluc in Shneznaya? 😅 When we will reach the Shneznaya border and Diluc in the party the game will stop us and send a message "you can't use Diluc in Shneznayas region, he's baned from Shneznaya". That would be funny. 😅

From my understanding Diluc got jumped by the entire Fatui Harbingers

I think it was Capitano. The Knave would have killed Diluc. Capitano is honourable and wouldn't kill a teenager

Possibilities 1) diluc's father isn't actually dead and the one we say die was a clone made by dottore since diluc's dad is the fatui number 10 and the fatui needed him so they faked his death and when diluc went to shenz he was almost killed but didn't kill him as an order from diluc's father 2) one of the Hexen saved diluc since the tea pot in diluc's house looks similar to the one that was on the table in the hexen 3) diluc was almost killed but capitano ordered the fatui to return him to mond since capitano won't kill a teenager 4) kaeya is somehow related to the fatui since one of the events bad in 2.0 patches was about tanoki ( idk how to spell it but sayu hates being called that) ans in that event the restaurants in mind and liyue were closed to make a huge meal and it was delivered to a hotel related to the fatui And Kaeya was behind it ..also peirro looks similar to kaeya maybe they are related If I'm mistaken please correct me

As a Diluc main I cant wait for Snehznaya. We Plunging our way through the harbingers.

columbina stalking her pray to feed off diluc grief i like it

I think nicole is the one who specifically saved him instead of alice, because Nicole guides people who have lost their way + he shares a lot of motifs with Nike —> nicole (owls, kings)

I also think the most probable one is Arlecchino (or Sandrone, like one of her creations). But I do not believe the Fatui are responsible for Crepus death... After reading again, Kaeya says something very interesting. Earlier in the story, he says, about the Collei incident: "I bet the Fatui are behind all this." But later, when he goes to confront Diluc and ask for help, he says: "Did I forget to mention it may have something to do with a certain Delusion? Something you believe to have been left behind by your father, no? It turns out, prejudice is a hindrance, as it is with the Black Fire incident. Some believe the Fatui to be behind it, but you... you know how that power works better than anyone. So if it was indeed a scheme to implicate Mond, they wouldn't leave any threads to be tracked back to them." - the as it is with the Black Fire incident means that he is talking about both incidents (Crepus and Collei)... that seems like the Fatui were behind them, but not exactly (or not directly). Also, if they planned Crepus' incident, why would they leave behind the Delusion, the metal bird and a witness (that they never tried to kill again)? My best guess is that Crepus himself was the one behind the fight with Ursa (maybe it was his way to protect Mondstadt while not being a KoF.. killing the monster that tormented the city for so many years).

Arlecchino should have been a harbinger for 10 years, considering Lyney and Lynette were in the house of the hearth when they met Cesar a decade ago. So, if it was the Knave, it would have to be the current one.

Yes, but what about Nicole and Diluc having her teacup?

I personally think it is most likely Scaramouche, the 6th Harbinger. Scaramouche used to lead abyss activities but after he got promoted into a harbinger he was responsible for overseeing fatui activities throughout Teyvat. Knowing Diluc attacking many bases throughout Teyvat, Scaramouche most likely be the one who faced him as he is responsible for overseeing foreign fatui activities. He is also fits the bill of the kind of person who slowly watches over their enemy and would try finish them immediately just like what he did to Traveler in Inazuma. As well as him being the 6th Harbinger also fits the bill being strong enough to accomplish such task. "gaining the sixth seat in the process. His orders were also changed. Instead of exploring the Abyss, he was now to constantly be on standby, assisting the clandestine activities of the Fatui across the world."~Wanderer character story 4

This is why i say all important and strongest character is from in mondstadt

It's highly likely to be nicole, cuz the teacup she used during her meeting with the traveler in Fontaine was the exact same as the one in dawn winery, meaning she could potentially have some ties with him.

if it's possible another missing fatui harbinger(possible the 10th) are the one who save diluc

another banger thanks man

Would not be surprised if Diluc is/will be the 10th Harbinger.

What if dilucs dad is the 10th harbringer
