Although we've only recently learnt what he looks like, Genshin Impact's Pantalone's name has been popping up throughout our journey in Teyvat. But who is this bespectacled man who looks vaguely like Genshin Impact's Baizhu, and when can we expect to see him next?
They say it's best to know your enemy, so why not read up on the main Snezhnayan antagonists in our Genshin Impact Fatui Harbingers guide? Or if you're saving up for more Fatui, check out our Genshin Impact codes guide.
Who is Genshin Impact's Pantalone?
Pantalone, otherwise known as the Regrator, is the ninth member of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and the head of Snezhnaya's economic policies. He made his first appearance in the Teyvat Chapter Interlude Teaser: A Winter Night's Lazzo alongside the rest of the Harbingers, but he's been weaving his way into affairs across Teyvat since the beginning of the Traveler's journey.
When the Traveler arrives in Mondstadt, we learn pretty early on that the Fatui has booked Goth Grand Hotel for their exclusive use. Goth tells us that Pantalone covered the entire booking upfront with an "unbelievably generous" payment. His meddling in Teyvat-wide economics also appears in Genshin Impact Noelle's character story and Genshin Impact Yelan's story quest.
A lot of what we know about his background comes from the artifact set Pale Flame. Pantalone's story is told through the Sands of Eon 'Moment of Cessation', a pocket watch that never opens and resembles a Fatui delusion. He grew up without money and wasn't granted a vision, so he has become obsessed with amassing his own wealth and the power that comes with it. His biggest ambition is to make Snezhnaya "the heart that pumps money around the world."
Fellow Harbinger Genshin Impact's Childe describes Pantalone as "fueled by raw ambition", and Genshin Impact's Wanderer, aka Scaramouche, says that he is "obsessed with the idea of 'fair exchange,' to the point of wanting to overthrow the natural imbalance between gods and humans." Scaramouche doesn't seem to see him as much of a threat, especially as he is lower-ranked than him, and he mentions that Pantalone's partnership with Genshin Impact's Dottore "is sure to meet a nasty end."
Will Pantalone be a playable character?
We finally met Pantalone in the flesh in update 6.6, as part of the Nod-Krai storyline. He'll likely continue to appear in the Snezhnaya quest. Whether he becomes playable like Wanderer or remains an NPC like La Signora still remains to be seen.
Who are Pantalone's voice actors?
Pantalone's voice actors are as follows:
- English - J. Michael Tatum
- Chinese - Liang Dawei
- Japanese - Takanori Hoshino
- Korean - Seo Yun-seon
You might recognise his English voice actor, J. Michael Tatum, as Louis from Fire Emblem Engage and August Wallenstein from Tales of Luminaria. Pantalone's Japanese voice actor Takanori Hoshino has voiced Mickey Mouse in Kingdom Hearts 3 and Lucas in Tales of Zestiria.
