AGenshin Impactfan has shared two character portraits for popular characters Arlecchino and Columbina. Both of them are part of the Eleven Harbingers who are known as extremely powerful individuals that work for the Fatui, one of the two main enemy factions in the game.
The Eleven Fatui Harbingers take commands from the Cryo Archon Tsaritsa who watches over the Snezhnaya region. So far,Genshin Impacthas introduced only two members of this group to the playable roster. The first one was Tartaglia, better known as Childe, who become a playable unit back in version 1.1. Wanderer, previously known as Scaramouche, used to be the 6th Harbinger, and he joined to the roster in the recent update 3.3.

Every character inGenshin Impacthas a portrait image that can be seen when players enter the party menu. A Reddit user by the name yelanyx has posted interesting portrait concepts for two popular Harbingers, Arlecchino and Columbina. These characters made their first appearance in the “A Winter Night’s Lazzo” trailer which also featured the remaining Harbingers. Players seem to like the fan-art as the post reached over 800 upvotes with some comments claiming that at first, they thought this was part of the game’s official artwork. RecentGenshin Impactleaks have revealed thatArlecchino will appear in the upcoming Fontaine Archon Questwhich will take place in the next major region.
The official storyline confirmed that Arlecchino, also known as “The Knave” runs the famous House of the Heart orphanage that raised a lot of notable Fatui warriors. One of Childe’s lines revealed that while Arlecchino takes her job very seriously, she’s not completely loyal to the Snezhnaya Archon, and it would not come as a surprise if she betrays her leader in the foreseeable future. Credible leaks have been hinting thatArlecchino is the fourth most powerful Harbinger.
According to the same leak, Columbina is even more powerful since she took the third spot on the list. While she seems to have a very harmless appearance,fans expect Columbina to show her true formduring a boss fight. Even Tartaglia, who’s known for his constant desire to prove himself, stated that he would not pick a fight with this character.
Players will probably have to wait for the next major update to arrive to find more information about these characters. Update 4.0 will take the main storyline to the Hydro nation, better known as Fontaine. While the region’s exact location is still unknown, someGenshin Impactleaks have stated that it will beplaced north of the recently added Sumeru deserts.
