Although all the playable characters in the beautiful open-world game, Genshin Impact , become their ain time to smoothen and show off their personality through tons of dialogue or intricate lore, the aforementioned can't be said about the Traveler. Despite being Genshin Touch on'due south protagonist, much nearly the Traveler is unknown.

At the beginning of Genshin Impact's story, little to nothing could exist said near the mysterious Traveler and their past. However, with update after update, quest subsequently quest, players are slowly starting to uncover some of the Traveler's curious story. Here are 8 things that some players may non already know about the (by and large silent) Traveler.

Disclaimer: At that place will be heavy spoilers for the primary storyline!

Updated Baronial 25th, 2021 by Christine Mendoza: miHoYo is a dedicated studio that seems determined to continue adding more and more lore to Genshin Impact; keeping gameplay fresh and the story interesting. Every bit more elaborate main quests, heady characters, and new nations are added to the open-globe game, fans acquire more virtually the (mostly) silent protagonists, Aether and Lumine. To keep things up to appointment, a few more than entries accept been added and others have been updated with the addition of Inazuma and all of its quests.

10 The Twins Each Have A Canon Proper name

At the moment, in that location isn't whatsoever existent explanation for why the player is able to enter a name for the Traveler; but male or female, the Traveler does indeed have a canonical proper name! Although all other characters do refer to the Traveler past their role player-given proper noun, later in the story, an Archon quest reveals that the male traveler is named Aether, while the female person traveler is named Lumine. Often time, aside from "Traveler", they are addressed as "Outlander," "Honorary Knight," or ironically "Comrade" by Fatui frienemy, Mr. Tartaglia.

Information technology seems as if only the twins themselves are the ones that have ever referred to the other by their "truthful" canonical proper name.

9 They Technically Don't Have A Vision

Genshin Impact Visions Cryo Pyro Hydro Anemo Dendro

Before exploring the vast land of Inazuma, the Traveler must first see up with Kazuha and Beidou and participate in a fighting tournament. The tournament, notwithstanding, is limited to individuals without a vision, which is a gift from the gods of Teyvat. A vision grants the user a power; the power to control a specific element.

The Traveler'due south actual status is perhaps a detail that can exist easily glossed over past many players (peculiarly those guilty of skipping dialogue).

While the Traveler is able to freely manipulate the elements, they don't actually possess a vision themselves. Once entering Beidou's tournament, this becomes clear as she and Kazuha advise the Traveler to avoid using whatever elemental abilities during any battles.

This is what makes the Traveler a unique hero in Teyvat, every bit until their inflow, the only individuals that could use any elemental abilities were either ones that possessed visions or the gods/archons themselves.

8 They're Actually Very Talkative

Despite everyone making jokes about how Paimon does all the talking and that the Traveler is an eerily silent protagonist, they're actually rather chatty! Although Aether and Lumine don't get a ton of spoken lines during dialogue with NPCs, quests, or cutscenes, they both even so have a ton of label!

While it is a bit hidden, the twins do have phonation lines nether their "Profile" tab but like every other playable character in the game who tin can exist recruited equally part of the party.

It's been a huge running joke that Genshin Touch on's protagonists don't ever get to speak their heed, but really, they accept a whole lot to say about many things around Teyvat. Under this tab, the player is able to observe playful conversations between the Traveler and Paimon about things similar Liyue's traditions to Mondstadt's scenery.

Information technology'south a shame so much of the Traveler's characterization is hidden away equally optional content to listen to; it seems as if the twins have a great sense of humor and even poke some fun at Anemo Archon, Venti!

7 The Male And Female person Traveler Have Different Constellations

A cool particular that most players will probable miss since not many players take more one Genshin Touch on account is the small deviation in the twins' constellations. Aether and Lumine take slightly different portraits for their constellations to match their aesthetics. Although their constellations, Viator and Viatrix, have different names and portraits, the way the twins' constellations get upgraded are the same.

Fun fact: The twins likewise go a new constellation when they interact with a new element and will accept a different constellation when using Anemo, Geo, and (now with Inazuma released) Electro too.

Limited Banner, Standard Banner, and Weapon Banner in Genshin Impact

The Traveler is unique and differs greatly from the residuum of the cast of playable characters in various means, including their gacha availability. The Traveler really isn't featured in any consequence imprint, and cannot be pulled when wishing for items or characters.

All other characters are available to be pulled in the game'southward gacha system in gild to recruit them for the thespian'southward team; with the exception of Bister, Kaeya, and Lisa, who are all given for complimentary. However, different Amber, Kaeya, and Lisa, the Traveler cannot be pulled again as a indistinguishable in lodge to consummate their constellation.

5 Their Outfits Become Upgraded When They Change Elements

Being the simply character that can shift elemental abilities, Aether and Lumine also have a fun fashionable advantage over their teammates. At the beginning of the game, Aether and Lumine's accents on their gear are white. Once the twins are defeated by the Unknown God, their accents are then blackness; that is until they interact with the get-go Statue of Seven and borrow the power of Barbatos.

Once the Traveler borrows Barbatos' ability, their outfit glows a calorie-free bluish and once they interact with Male monarch Lapis's Statue of Seven, then their glow turns into a golden yellow. And now, with the newest addition of Inazuma, when the Traveler shifts to Electro, the tendency continues and adds a flash of deep regal to their outfit.

4 Their Constellation Has A Unique Way Of Existence Completed

For all other characters, in order to fill their constellation to level them upward, they must exist pulled every bit a duplicate when wishing. So it may seem a bit confusing when information technology comes to completing the Traveler'due south constellation, seeing as the Traveler cannot exist pulled in the game's gacha arrangement the same style the other playable characters can exist.

The Traveler can find the item to level up their constellation in a few dissimilar ways. I of these items can be found in souvenir shops, meanwhile, the balance are given as gamble rank or main quest rewards. Every bit the protagonist tin can change their elemental alignment, information technology'south only natural they have two different sets of requirements to fill up their constellation; having a different item to level their Anemo constellation every bit opposed to the required particular for their Geo constellation.

iii They Are Non From Teyvat

Paimon introducing Genshin's newest feature

In an Archon quest with Dainsleif, fans were finally able to shed some light on the mysterious past of the (mostly) silent protagonist. Information technology was apparent from the very first cutscene that the Traveler is not of the world of Teyvat and that the Unknown God they were fighting had stranded them there on their journey. Nonetheless, the quest "We Will Be Reunited" revealed that the Traveler apparently has memories of the ancient nation, Khaenri'ah.

Causeless to be a nation, long gone with no real remnants, Khaenri'ah was long forgotten then information technology was a surprise that the Traveler had memories of it! After a heartbreaking reunion with the Traveler's lost sibling, information technology seems likely that the Traveler and their twin are, in fact, from the ancient nation. (Notwithstanding, when it comes to the Abyss Gild, it'south never articulate what the truth actually is.)

2 They Are Not A Small-scale Similar Everyone Assumes

Genshin Impact Kaeya Paimon And Traveler In Tavern

It's an apparent running joke that the Traveler is a small and in the finish, e'er has to decline whatever offers of alcoholic drinks. Notwithstanding, during the "We Volition Be Reunited" quest, another interesting fleck of the Traveler'south past is uncovered. The Traveler recalls having memories of the destruction of Khaenri'ah during a state of war that had happened about 500 years ago!

It appears that the mysterious Traveler is really much like Venti and Zhongli; although donning a youthful appearance, are really hundreds of years sometime!

1 They Have Dissimilar Attack Patterns

Genshin Impact Twins Attack Pattern Comparison

miHoYo fabricated sure to not get out whatever intricate details out when designing the beloved protagonists. Aether and Lumine may exist twins but that doesn't mean they don't have their differences. Rather than taking the lazy road and simply both variations of the protagonist the same exact animation when in combat, miHoYo took the extra step and fabricated completely unique fighting styles for each of the twins. A subtle departure to catch is their attack speeds, as Aether moves slightly faster than his sister.

Their fighting styles seem to complement each others' too equally contrast the other very well. Seeing as the Traveler doesn't talk much in-game, it's great to see that even in their gainsay style, players are able to run across a bit of their personality come through.
