Alberich Clan Family Members

Kaeya Alberich

Genshin - Kaeya Alberich in Sumeru
Kaeya Alberich is the current Cavalry Captain of Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius, the adoptive son of Crepus Ragnvindr, and the only playable character with a Khaneri'ahn descent. As the sole known living member of the family, he is dubbed as the "last hope" by his father.

Although he believes his allegiance right now aligns with Mondstadt, multiple hints from Mona's voicelines, and from burnt notes about his clan, his attachment to Khaenri'ah remains in question.

Kaeya Story and Profile

Kaeya's Father

Although only known in voicelines and lore, the Alberich patriarch left his son, Kaeya, in Mondstadt, as an agent for Khaenri'ah due to reasons yet to be seen. His current status is unknown.

Chlothar Alberich

Genshin - Chlothar

The founder of the Abyss Order. Centuries ago after the fall of Khaenri'ah, Chlothar Alberich seeked to cure his illegitimate son, Caribert, who was cursed as a Hilichurl. The power Chlothar and the Abyss Twin found in the Abyss catalyzed the creation of the Abyss Order. However, he is now deceased.

The Loom of Fate and the Abyss Order

Genshin - Chlothar in the Abyss

Upon obtaining a mysterious power in the Abyss, Chlothar Alberich was able to partially cure Caribert. However, Chlothar was determined to change the fate of his son, who was cursed with a body and face of a Hilichurl, and so he sought to reborn Caribert to become the "Loom of Fate."

Seemingly with the help of the Traveler's Abyss Twin, Chlothar eventually created the Abyss Order borne from this endeavour.

The Khaenri'ahn Agent in Mondstadt

Genshin - Kaeya Alberich in Dawn Winery
After calling him their last hope, Kaeya's biological father abandoned him at the footsteps of Dawn Winery, where he met his soon to be adoptive father, Crepus Ragnvindr.

Since living with the Ragnvindrs, Kaeya slowly placed his trust as a citizen of Mondstadt, and seemingly abandoned his motive as a Khaenri'ahn agent. However, the reason on why the Alberichs sent Kaeya as a spy is currently unknown.

Descendant of the Damned

Genshin - Dainsleif Revealing the Identity of the Alberichs
During the Caribert Archon Quest, Kaeya learned from Dainsleif that his ancestors were the founders of the Abyss Order, although Kaeya already suspected this fact.

Kaeya assured the Traveler that he would not betray them or his found family in Mondstadt just because of his blood ties with the Alberichs. Although behind his usual facade, whether or not he's saying the truth is up to debate.
