Is Wanderer Scaramouche Son of Raiden? – Unraveling the Mystery
In the world of Genshin Impact, characters’ backstories and relationships are often shrouded in mystery. One of the most intriguing questions that players have been asking is whether Scaramouche, a wandering Soul, is the son of Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon of Inazuma. In this article, we will delve into the available information to provide a comprehensive answer to this question.
Scaramouche and his Past
Scaramouche, also known as Wanderer, is a Soul who has been referred to as a "child" [1]. He is mentioned to have been born with a youkai blood, which is a vital aspect of his character. As revealed in the game, Scaramouche was once a victim of the Electro Archon Ei’s experiment, who deemed him "too weak" to be her vessel. This led to a transformation that resulted in Wanderer’s current form.
The Connection between Scaramouche and Raiden Shogun
However, there is a significant connection between Scaramouche and Raiden Shogun. [2] According to the game’s story, Raiden Shogun’s true form is that of a goddess. Her twin sister, Raiden Makoto, is also a prominent character in the game. The relationship between Raiden Shogun and her sister indicates that there may be a familial tie between the two.
Scaramouche’s Reincarnation as Wanderer
As Wanderer, Scaramouche revealed that he was a child soldier who, under the name "Jack the Ripper," killed several enemies in a civil war and is ashamed of his past [3]. This revelation suggests that Wanderer’s past is deeply connected to that of Raiden Shogun and her sister. The Electro Archon’s experiment on Scaramouche, which resulted in his transformation, may have caused him to reincarnate as a Wanderer.
