The Fatui Harbingers were hosting another gaming stream today. The Harbingers are an infamous group of streamers backed by the illusive Tsaritsa – known as 'The Ice Queen' – and ranked using unknown variables.

Pierro, The Jester, is considered the manager of the group, and he doesn't tend to take part in the games the others play, instead focusing on keeping everyone in check. He is the Tsaritsa's right-hand man.

Il Capitano is the top player by a long shot. His perception and intelligence are higher than any average person. He's loyal to those around him, and sticks to the plans they set beforehand unless he feels there is a better solution. His moniker, The Captain, truly suits him.

Il Dottore is in second. He likes to experiment with his gameplay from time to time – earning him the title of The Doctor – which somehow ends up working in his favor most of the time.

Columbina is third. Her light voice and ditzy nature, as well as her moniker – The Damselette – lead others to think less of her, but she isn't bad by any means. When she's focused, she can help her team to victory.

Arlecchino is the fourth. She has earned the nickname 'Father' due to her fondness for animals in games, but her official moniker is The Knave. She uses these furry companions to assist her in slaughtering opponents.

Pulcinella, The Rooster, is the fifth. Despite being the oldest, he is very good at helping the other Harbingers. He typically plays as a healer, but he only heals his teammates if he deems them useful in the long run.

Scaramouche is the sixth of the Harbingers, and he is titled The Balladeer. He can be aggressive and short-tempered, even to his own teammates. He works well with them, even if it seems so chaotic from the outside.

Sandrone is the seventh. Her precise calculations lead many to believe she's really an advanced android of sorts, but enough time around machinery has made her like that. Her moniker, The Marionette, certainly doesn't help dispel the rumors, though. She doesn't do as much of the killing as she does strategizing.

Signora, called The Fair Lady, is the eighth. Her arrogance has led her to lose many times, but she will always blame someone else. She only likes to play as attractive characters, as her looks are very important to her.

Pantalone, The Regrator, is the ninth Harbinger. He cares more about the financial aspect of games than the killing. He takes more interest in building up his currency.

Tartaglia, also known as Childe, is the eleventh and last Harbinger. Even though he's the lowest rank, he's still very strong. His repeated failures come from the fact that he rushes into battles without thinking, which leaves him getting scolded by his teammates.

The Harbingers all work for a company called the Fatui, under the owner and operator, the aforementioned Tsaritsa, whom they treat as their queen. Most information about her is purely speculation to everyone but her trusted Harbingers.

Scaramouche is currently yelling at the other Harbingers as they play, making them all unaware of the door opening far behind them.

“Are you idiots blind?! Don't you know how to do anything correctly?! You just have to aim and shoot, how hard can that be?!"

The other Harbingers are sitting next to him, all trying to focus on the game, even as he yells at them. Even though most of them are sick of his yelling, they endure it, since he doesn't play as well when he's forced to stay quiet. They've already tested that. The Harbingers' fans are all used to the yelling by now, so it's not even commented on in the chat section. None of the Harbingers even really read the chat unless they're taking a break from gaming at that moment.
