Another point toward Pierro being a diviner (I should really organize all my points into one place at some point). It's a bit weird how Dottore after killing Niwa kind of just starts talking as if Pierro is there. And we don't see anything that's implied to be a long distance communication device. It could just be a little "rehearsing this conversation in my head" moment, but maybe Pierro was scrying on him at that moment and Dottore was aware of it.
He noticed Nefer scrying on the traveler, so he definitely is capable of that. And most people don't notice, so, he learned that somewhere.

TSARRO DOODLES BECAUSE YIPPIEEEEEE OFFICIAL TSARITSA DESIGN 🤸♂️🤸♀️🤸
listen to me, you do not understand how much i love the idea of both of them being completely expressionless even when they're being all lovey dovey
whenever the Tsaritsa is part of a meeting, the second that meeting ends, the Harbingers all trip over each other to exit the room as fast as possible to avoid having to listen to their two bosses' uncomfortably deadpan flirting
I’ve always wondered about the order in which the Harbingers were recruited into the Fatui so I made a list of my interpretation
Another one of my yap sessions below 👇!!
(note that this list does include some of my hcs of unknown events which may cause some bias)
0. Pierro (Director)
I believe he was already somewhat affiliated with the Tsaritsa before the Cataclysm, so after what transpired it wasn’t difficult for them to find common ground to work together. This then led them to search for members that could help serve their cause (note: she may have been close with Khaenri’ah as a whole considering her son)
1. Il Capitano
Due to him being also being from Khaenri’ah as well as an incredibly powerful warrior, Capitano would’ve been one of the quickest individuals to recruit & to ensure loyalty from. It’s also quite likely that his and Pierro’s statues let them already know of one another.
2. Il Dottore
Personally, I believe it was Pierro who realized the Fatui needed an intelligent individual who wasn’t afraid to cross the lines of what was considered “taboo” since the organization’s goal was to directly oppose the heavens. It was just by chance that he heard of a scholar, dubbed a “heretic,” that had been expelled from the Akademiya for that very reason.
3. Pulcinella
For the Fatui to gain public support & proper traction, it would only be logical to have a politician representing the nation to be apart of it as well. Not only that, I expect him to have an unwavering loyalty to the Tsaritsa.
4. La Signora
The Fatui’s military developments (e.g delusions) allowed Signora to be brought into the Fatui. (the cryo delusion helping to quell her fire) I think the Tsaritsa had influence in her recruitment, understanding her grief and recognizing her potential.
5. Scaramouche
Dottore’s mission in Inazuma occurred when the original (Zandik) was still alive. While the game really only does show us one version of Dottore appearance wise, I still think based on attitude Dottore was in his 30s (mid to late is my best guess). Though it was Pierro who found and recruited him into their ranks as he saw an immense potential in him.
6. Pantalone
Dottore was 38 when Pantalone was sold off as a test subject which still puts him at one of the earlier recruits. (it honestly seems like most harbingers joined in a very short time frame considering the centuries the Harbingers have been a thing) I want to say that Scaramouche and Pantalone were extremely close when it came to who became a Harbinger first. However, Pantalone may have joined the Fatui before him, but he had to work his way up the ranks unlike Scara.
7. Sandrone
I found her position a bit hard to pinpoint, I could say that her and Pantalone’s positions could be swapped. (again, him having to climb up the ranks) Instead of being sought out, she offered her services/loyalty to the Tsaritsa in exchange for being able to continue her research (which was likely considered “forbidden” and pricey… much like someone else on this list)
*after reviewing this list, I could also see her placement somewhere FAR earlier— I desperately need more Harbinger lore
8. Columbina
I’ll be honest when I say Columbina’s timeline does confuse me a bit so I don’t really even have a guess as to WHEN she joined. Instead of Pierro being the one to recruit her, it was the Tsaritsa who offered her a place to call “home.” I believe that Pierro searches for individuals who he knows will be loyal to the cause. I think from Sandrone/Pantalone to Columbina was the first “big” gap when it came to recruitments.
9. Arlecchino
After what was probably a couple hundred year gap between recruitments, (I have something to add about Crucabena at the end of this list) she was pardoned by the Tsaritsa and given her rank in the Fatui. I think it’s safe to say that the Tsaritsa saw something worth saving in Arle, which in turn caused her to develop a sense of loyalty towards the Fatui’s cause
10. Childe
He is an incredibly proud Sneznhayan and an incredibly capable fighter. After getting out into the Fatui’s military, it was Pulcinella who recognized was he was capable of and pulled him into the ranks
Crucabena (extra)
***all of this next section is fueled off of my own hcs and whatnot, basically irrelevant to everything written above. Please don’t take this too seriously, it’s just my delusions***
We know basically squat about her, but I’ve always been a bit interested in her character. It is known that she was closely affiliated with Dottore. This led me to believe that she was in a partnership with him & Pantalone. They all have a fairly ruthless nature which leads me to wondering if the three of them had aligning goals. As far as we know, she’s human. So, there’s a chance her situation is like Pantalone’s and Dottore found a method of prolonging her life
—
Again!! This is just my interpretation of this list— if you do know something that I failed to mention, feel free to point it out!!
The ghosts tend to stay within their nation but will follow their loved ones who still live. Their presence and actions don’t cause too much damage but enough to be noticeable, especially at night. The living in Teyvat learn to get used to them and treat the dead with more respect so as to avoid possible hauntings or ending up as wandering spirits themselves.
The Archons try to give comfort for these spirits to the best of their abilities (ex: Venti and Furina singing and playing old songs for them at night).
For the au you mentioned… yeah Khaenri’ahns who died in the Cataclysm were spared from being cursed yet are still kept from a peaceful rest for 500 years. They usually stay with the survivors. Some of the ghosts that stick with Pierro knew Ronova!mc personally. Even after she was revealed as a Shade, they still saw her as one of their own and are angry for what happened to her more than their own condition.
If/when Ronova!mc returns she will find herself with a lot of work to do. She might also be discovered a lot quicker as any soul who senses a bit of her presence will immediately seek her out. Kinda hard to miss a large group of spirits crowding around this one person trying to stay hidden.
Poor Ronova!MC is gonna be overworked once she gets free. Pray for her... and someone go tell Pierro she's back!
Thought, this makes me think of how she might overthink everything and think he wouldn't want to see her, but cut over to a Khaenri'ahn ghost snitching her out, and a certain Jester comes to find her.

Imagine in any au where Ronova!mc is out of commission (“dead” for a time/imprisoned in Celestia) her domain gets messed up as a result of no one being around to do her job.
Many souls who can’t move on for whatever reason are trapped in the mortal world for years, possibly decades or centuries. Unable to peacefully rest, they end up causing problems for the living. Tales of ghost sightings are more common. Entire homes are haunted by past residents. Sometimes their presence brings sickness to the living.
Some souls are able to communicate and even help their loved ones who are still alive but this is a rare occurrence. Unless someone else is doing the work of the Shade of Death, then these lost souls are waiting for Ronova!mc to put then to rest.
(If Ronova!mc was in a relationship before all this, then the souls are likely to stick around her living partner.)
// Anyways just wanted to pour out all this.
Reading this idea makes me think of the au where she's lovers with Pierro. Oh gosh, can you imagine Pierro seeing spirits of long dead Khaenri'ahns and possibly Fatui agents under his command...
But sides that, I do love the jdea here. Its definitely spooking...
I'm thinking about Dottore's "I've never been afraid to play the role of the villain" line again in light of what we've learned in this update.
Killing Sandrone just made her stronger. She had to die to reach her full potential. And she's not just going to die of old age, so... Someone had to be the villain who kills her.
I don't know how Dottore could have found out about Alain's second chance thing if even she didn't know about it. Unless he dissected her at some point, but it seems unlikely that she would allow that. But if I'm right about Pierro being a diviner, he could have seen that rebirth in her fate.
My "Pierro and Dottore were scheming together the whole time" conspiracy isn't dead yet.
