Character from Genshin Impact by HoYoverse
The enigmatic Bough Keeper and last surviving knight of the fallen nation of Khaenri'ah, Dainsleif wanders Teyvat cursed with immortality, opposing the Abyss Order while harboring deep resentment toward the Archons who destroyed his homeland.
Dainsleif was once the captain of the Royal Guard of Khaenri'ah, the godless nation that existed underground, beyond the jurisdiction of the Seven Archons. Five hundred years ago, the gods destroyed Khaenri'ah in the Cataclysm, and its people were cursed — many transformed into monsters of the Abyss. Dainsleif was cursed with immortality instead, forced to watch his people suffer for eternity. He now wanders Teyvat as the 'Bough Keeper,' opposing the Abyss Order — which is led by the Traveler's lost twin sibling. Dainsleif despises the Archons for what they did to Khaenri'ah and distrusts anyone connected to divine authority. He appears periodically to guide the Traveler, revealing fragments of the true history of Teyvat that the Archons have concealed. His knowledge of the world's deepest secrets makes him one of the most important figures in the overarching narrative.
Tall man with disheveled blond hair partially covering one eye, the visible eye a striking bright blue while the hidden side bears signs of corruption. Wears a dark blue and black outfit with tattered elements and a star-patterned cape. His right arm is visibly corrupted with dark, crystalline Abyssal energy. His expression is perpetually weary yet resolute, bearing the weight of five centuries of wandering.
