Overview
Pantalone, known by his codename "Regrator," is the Ninth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers in Genshin Impact. Acting as the head of the Northland Bank, he controls Snezhnaya's vast financial resources and orchestrates economic infiltration into other nations to make Snezhnaya the financial center of Teyvat.
Appearance
Pantalone has black hair worn at shoulder length with parted bangs, and eyes described with purple, blue, or red hues. He has a habit of keeping his eyes narrowed and wears semi-rimless or under-rim glasses with an eyewear strap. His outfit consists of a shirt, black gloves, earrings, rings, and a thick fur-trimmed coat.
Personality
Pantalone is a calculating and cold-blooded businessman who views all matters through financial value and trade. He harbors deep resentment toward the gods and aims to undermine their authority by making his bank the financial heart of the world. Calm and polite on the surface, he exhibits little emotional attachment to others and is seen as cold-hearted even by his peers.
Abilities
Pantalone exercises immense influence through his mastery over currency and the international banking network. Having sustained his life for over four centuries using Dottore's life-extending elixirs and organ transplants, he possesses extensive economic strategic intelligence, including designing test currency systems like the Credit Coupons in the Fortress of Meropide.
Background
Born Feofan Sergeyevich Veksel, he went bankrupt at age twenty and was sold as an experimental subject to Dottore after being wounded by criminals. He eventually partnered with Dottore, secured life-extending treatment, and rose through the Fatui to become the Ninth Harbinger and controller of Snezhnaya's banking network.
Relationships
He serves the Tsaritsa as her chief financial strategist and provides funding for fellow Harbingers like Tartaglia. He shares a history with Dottore, evolving from a research subject into a key business associate. He maintains a bitter rivalry with Yelan, who once intercepted his covert trade route, stealing a luxurious coat intended for the Tsaritsa while he captured her jade bracelet.
Trivia
His Fatui codename is derived from Pantalone, the greedy merchant character in traditional Italian Commedia dell'arte. His surname Veksel is based on the German term for a bill of exchange. Despite his delicate health, he is a long-time heavy smoker who slowly reduced his daily intake over several centuries.
