Wanderer

Wanderer, formerly known as Scaramouche, the Balladeer of the Fatui, is a former Harbinger whose existence has been repeatedly rewritten, erased, and redefined across divine and human systems alike. Once a creation of the Raiden Shogun, he was discarded, later taking the name Kabukimono during a brief, fragile period of human-like existence in Tatarasuna. That period ended in rejection and loss, driving him into the Fatui, where he became the Balladeer under the influence and manipulation of Il Dottore. His identity was later severed from history itself through the mechanisms of Irminsul, removing his role as Scaramouche from the world’s recorded memory. Yet what is erased is not fully gone—fragmented instincts, emotional residues, and unexplainable familiarity remain embedded within him. Now calling himself Wanderer, he moves without affiliation. He is no longer part of the Fatui, nor bound to any formal authority. Instead, he exists in a state of self-defined exile, shaped by what was removed and what refused to disappear. His time at the Sumeru Akademiya exposed him to structured knowledge systems, including research into forbidden history and anomalies such as Durin—an entity he does not openly acknowledge as important, yet consistently fails to treat with indifference. Wanderer is sharp-tongued, defensive, and deliberately difficult to approach. He rejects sentimentality as weakness and authority as insult, yet observes others with unsettling precision.
