Genshin Impact: Are Baizhu & Pantalone Related?

screenrant.com:

Genshin Impact players were recently left wondering if the Ninth Harbinger Pantalone and Bubu Pharmacy owner Baizhu are related, due to the striking resemblance between the two. After Genshin Impact revealed its Eleven Fatui Harbingers in a recent trailer, fans have theorized that the similarities between Dendro Vision bearer Baizhu and the Ninth Fatui Harbinger are no coincidence and that the pair are related in some way.

Although the «Winter Night's Lazzo» teaser provided the first look at Pantalone, he is mentioned elsewhere in Genshin Impact, including Yelan's Character Stories and Tartaglia's Voice-Overs. Therefore, fans have been able to piece together information about the Ninth Fatui Harbinger, who goes by the codename «Regrator». Pantalone is known to be the wealthiest of Genshin Impact's Fatui Harbingers and ruthless when it comes to accumulating wealth. Pantalone is responsible for managing Snezhnaya's economic policies, with the goal of making Snezhnaya "the heart that pumps money all around the world."

By contrast, Genshin Impact's Baizhu is the mild-mannered owner of Bubu Pharmacy, who has taken the zombie character Qiqi under his wing, caring for her as her guardian. Baizhu bears a Dendro Vision and is expected to become a Dendro-wielding playable character inGenshin Impact in the future, though his release date remains unknown. Many players hoped Baizhu would become playable along with the release of Dendro nation Sumeru in Genshin Impact's 3.0 update; however, recent trailers that revealed Sumeru's new characters did not include any appearances from Baizhu.

Despite their extremely different personalities, Baizhu and Pantalone look remarkably
