Although he was once on good terms with Zhongli (even allowing the former Archon to use him as financial support), he seems to have taken his deception personally, stating he will only forgive him if he agrees to trial by combat. Tartaglia is exceptionally proud of his three younger siblings and dotes on them frequently, especially his youngest brother Teucer - he is willing to lie and even put himself in mortal danger, so as long as it makes him happy. He also cares deeply for his family he sends money, gifts, and letters home often. He is unquestionably loyal to the Tsaritsa and holds her in high esteem, seeing himself as her weapon of war. Tartaglia dedicates himself to those he cares about wholeheartedly. He also appears to treat his subordinates less harshly than the rest of the Harbingers, stating that he doesn't use lethal force against the recruits in his care nor does he threaten any of them. While he is easily capable of scheming, he only resorts to such approaches when necessary due to his straightforward nature. As a result, Childe's coworkers are wary of him, while he holds them in disdain for their schemes and 'intangible' methods. He is a public figure known for attending social gatherings and even participates as an actor in plays and theater. While his fellow Harbingers prefer clandestine operations and staying behind the scenes, Tartaglia favors being front and center. Despite disliking how his plan in Liyue Harbor could potentially harm innocents, he puts it into motion to fulfill his mission in Liyue - only to learn he was meant to fail as part of an even larger plan he was not privy to, much to his consternation.Īmongst the rest of the Harbingers, Tartaglia is considered an oddball. This, combined with his straightforward nature, makes him rather easy to manipulate. īecause of his pride, Tartaglia is exceptionally reliable at accomplishing the tasks given to him, no matter how difficult they may be or if they go against his values. He uses bows because he is weakest with them, making his victories with them all the more exhilarating. He lusts for combat and grows excited by fighting strong opponents, even if it could mean dying in the process.

Tartaglia considers those who wish to become strong like him to be friends and takes pleasure in battling them on the battlefield. A warrior at heart, he constantly seeks ways to grow stronger, regardless of how he obtains said power.

The Abyss and his old master, Skirk, made him self-confident, solipsistic, and brash, thriving on the sensation of being alive. Although he appears to relatively friendly on the surface, Tartaglia is a bloodthirsty warrior. After falling into The Abyss and meeting and training with Skirk, Tartaglia's personality drastically changed. As a child, Tartaglia was frightened and hesitant, but he secretly desired to become an adventurer like the ones his father told him about as they fished together. Tartaglia describes himself as 'kind of a bad guy', living for the thrill of a fight and causing chaos. In-game character attributes and profile page text
