On April 1, 2025, Dimbreath shared highly anticipated details regarding several key characters from Genshin Impact’s lore, which are speculated to appear in the Archon Quest of version 5.6. While the timing of the leak raises eyebrows, the leaker has assured fans it’s not a prank—unless they themselves are victims of an elaborate joke.
As the narrative unfolds in Mondstadt, here are the characters rumored to participate in the upcoming Archon Quest:
1) Varka
Varka serves as the Grand Master of Mondstadt’s Knights of Favonius. Since the game’s inception, he has been on an expedition, leaving Jean to manage his responsibilities in his absence. Respected as “Knight of Boreas,”Varka is a figure of great power within the Knights, and players might finally have the opportunity to engage with him after five years of anticipation.
2) Alice
A member of the Hexenzirkel, Alice is revered as one of the most formidable figures in Teyvat. As Klee’s mother, her character hails from a race known for their longevity. Players have been eagerly waiting to hear from her again, and it seems the Archon Quest will finally bring her back into the spotlight. The last time Alice graced the game was with the voice talents of Rachel Kimsey in the English version.
3) Barbeloth
Another intriguing character from the Hexenzirkel, Barbeloth is celebrated as an Astromancer and is notably Mona’s mentor. Her longstanding association with Mona suggests an exciting storyline when she makes an appearance.
4) Dahlia
Dahlia, a Deacon from the Church of Favonius, has been previously mentioned in Rosaria’s story arc. Teased during the version 5.3 livestream, his introduction in the upcoming update could add depth to the Mondstadt narrative.
5) Durin
The dragon Durin may also make a significant appearance in the 5.6 update. Fans are eager to discover his role and the implications of his presence within the storyline.
As players await more details on these character developments, excitement continues to grow for what the future holds in Genshin Impact’s vibrant world.
