Wanderer
Last updated 2026-09-10
The Wanderer is a playable Anemo character in Genshin Impact.
He was once Scaramouche, the Sixth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, also known by his codename "The Balladeer." After erasing his previous identities from Irminsul, he became a drifter until he willingly regained his memories. He is currently a Driyosh of the Vahumana Darshan.[9]
During the Archon Quest As Though Morning Dew in Interlude Chapter: Act III - Inversion of Genesis, the player can change the Wanderer's name, which will then be used in some of the game's interfaces, such as Party Setup. Most characters, however, will refer to him by the name of Hat Guy, the name Nahida used upon enrolling him to Vahumana.
