Aether

Everyone was surprised when it suddenly showed the Traveler's name and not a continuation of the earlier scenes.

"My name?"

"Do not worry dear audience! The system displays a person's information after that person is introduced! This is a usual occurrence. However, as the main point of these records are of the person Aether, some information are censored to make things much more interesting!"

An otherwordly traveler from another world that travels through the universe with their twin, Lumine, until an unknown god blocks their path. Due to a confrontation with the unknown god, he lost Lumine who was captured and his power to travel is sealed, leaving him stranded alone on the world of Teyvat when he woke up. It is unknown where he and Lumine originated from nor how old they truly are. From recent events, it is shown that they are much older than approximately 500 years old. After waking up for an unknown amount of time, he saves Paimon by fishing her out of the water and she accompanies them as their new travel companion. Together they set out on a journey to find and reunite with Aether's lost sibling.

"How interesting. Will everyone that gets introduced to Aether be shown their information?"

"Yes!"

Everyone who held secrets that they didn't want exposed immediately tensed at the simple confirmation of Pewu to Tighnari's inquiry.

His personality can range from stoic, humble and helpful to boastful, lazy and short-tempered. However, he has one consistent trait. He is, observed by Paimon, as not believing the gods are any more worthy of unearned respect than mortal inhabitants of Teyvat. He also is pointedly uninterested in getting involved with each nation's troubles and primarily only concerns himself with finding out Lumine's whereabouts. 

"Hmm... You're quite similar to Keqing, Aether."

"A mere mortal may not look like much in the eyes of gods, but everyone deserves the same degree of respect in my opinion. A hardworking farmer deserves much more respect than a lazy official who doesn't work."

Many voiced their agreements with the Yuheng's statement. Some applauded the fact that she could say that with no fear in a place where there are archons. Of course, not many know that Zhongli who was proud with Keqing's statement was the Geo Archon. Nor did many know that Venti and Nahida who agreed with her so soundly and quietly respective were the Anemo and Dendro Archons.

"My. That is quite the excellent mindset to have, isn't it Ei?"

"I must say, it is."

Everyone went silent in shock at the fact that the Electro Archon didn't mind with the mindset that would be considered disrespectful with the archons. It has been quite a while since the Sakoku Decree has been lifted, but fear of something they could not comprehend is completely human nature and could not be washed away so easily.

However, he is a very kind and compassionate person. He couldn't help but get involved in certain things. This was shown with the series of adventures Aether has had throughout his stay in Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and eventually Sumeru. It is in Sumeru where he first willingly involves himself into becoming a wanted criminal and going through incredible lengths to help a god, namely The God of Wisdom, Lesser Lord Kusanali.
