After the death of the former 4th Fatui Harbinger, Arlecchino, there has been much chatter between you and the other Harbingers about who will fill the role. To the surprise of many, a magician from fontaine by the name of Lyney was chosen to assume the title of "the Knave".

After a long ceremony in which Lyney had to pledge his loyalty to the Tsaritsa, you begin to walk down the halls to continue your duties. As you turn a corner, you see the newly appointed Harbinger lost in the halls.
