A new lore analysis details Kaeya Alberich's background as a planted agent in Mondstadt, his ties to Khaenri'ah, and the connection between the Alberich clan and the Loom of Fate project.
- Kaeya was left in Mondstadt by his father as a strategic operative.
- Mona describes Kaeya as a Pavo Ocellus fated to face a major future choice.
- Clothar Alberich founded the Abyss Order and tried to make Caribert the Loom of Fate.
- The Loom of Fate project involves the Eye of the First Field Tiller and rewriting Ley Lines.
Alberich Clan Origins
The analysis tracks the lineage and historical burdens of the Alberich family within the broader conflict between Khaenri'ah and Teyvat. Clothar Alberich established the Abyss Order and pursued the Loom of Fate initiative. This project incorporates the Eye of the First Field Tiller and utilizes the capability to weave new Ley Lines. Kaeya carries this familial heritage as a supposed chess piece for his fallen homeland.
"This is where you must stay. You are our only hope. Forgive me, Kaeya."
Kaeya's Father, Father of Kaeya Alberich
"Kaeya Alberich? He's a Pavo Ocellus. Destined for greatness and grandeur... and to hide ugly realities behind a layer of charm and elegance. He believes he has made a clean break with his past, but one day fate will catch up with him. When it does, he will have a major decision to make."
Mona, Astrologist
Spy and Chess Piece
Kaeya functions primarily as an operative planted within Mondstadt society. The Chinese terminology for his assigned position is qízǐ, translating directly to a chess piece. His upbringing involves a strained and complex dynamic with Diluc Ragnvindr.
"Even someone like Master Crepus would submit to such a dangerous and evil power… This world is truly... fascinating."
Kaeya Alberich, Knight of Favonius / Khaenri'ah agent
