The arrival of the First Fatui Harbinger, Capitano, in the fiery nation of Natlan has sent ripples through Teyvat. Officially, his mission aligns with the Tsaritsa's grand design: to secure the Pyro Gnosis from the Archon Mavuika. Yet, for a warrior of his stature and a plotline as pivotal as Natlan's, many seasoned Travelers sense a deeper, more obscured purpose lurking beneath the volcanic surface. The simple acquisition of a divine chess piece feels almost too straightforward for the climax of the Tsaritsa's collection. As the story unfolds, whispers and evidence suggest Capitano's true objective may be a personal gambit, one tied to ashes and resurrection, aiming to defy death itself for a fallen comrade.

Capitano May Try To Revive Signora In Genshin Impact's Natlan Region

The Nation of Pyro is renowned for its warriors and the enduring spirit of its heroes. During the Version 5.0 livestream, HoYoverse developers spoke cryptically but evocatively about Natlan's unique nature. They emphasized that while death cannot be easily reversed, the possibility is not entirely denied within this land. Most telling was their statement that in Natlan, "the flames of heroes are not easily extinguished." This philosophy is mechanically represented by a new "reignition" system, hinted to be a core feature of the region's narrative and gameplay.

This concept of "reignition" is not merely thematic. The developers wrapped up their spoiler-free discussion by suggesting this mechanic could be showcased for the first time in Natlan through a surprising figure: the Fatui Harbinger Signora. Though an antagonist, Signora's might and tragic past could be perceived as heroic within a nation that venerates strength. If resurrection is possible anywhere in Teyvat, the land of eternal flame and unyielding spirit is the prime candidate. Capitano, with his army at his back, could be using the very public quest for the Gnosis as a brilliant smokescreen. His true, secret mission might be to harness Natlan's power of reignition to bring his fellow Harbinger back from the ashes.

The hints are visual as well. In the Ignition character teaser trailer, the presentation of antagonists Capitano and Ororon is preceded by a stunning sequence: a majestic, flaming bird flying directly toward them. This flaming bird bears a striking resemblance to a phoenix, the ultimate mythological symbol of rebirth from ashes. This imagery is a powerful, deliberate clue from the developers, directly linking the idea of fiery rebirth to the arrival of the Fatui's leadership in Natlan. It's a visual metaphor that fans have latched onto, seeing it as a clear foreshadowing of Signora's potential return.

Signora Has A Predisposition For Rebirth In Genshin Impact

What makes this theory so compelling is that Signora herself is a creature born of flame and rebirth. Long before she became the Eighth Harbinger, she was Rosalyne, a mortal woman consumed by grief during the Cataclysm. Her story, detailed in the "Crimson Witch of Flames" artifact set lore, is one of literal transformation through fire:

• Mortal Tragedy: Rosalyne lost everything, burning with despair.

• Fiery Rebirth: She "burned away her mortal body" and was reborn from the ashes as the Crimson Witch of Flames, a being of liquid fire.

• Immortal Flame: This transformation granted her a form of immortality, her humanity replaced by everlasting pyro energy.

This established lore is crucial. Signora has already achieved a form of rebirth once. Her "death" at the hands of the Raiden Shogun in Inazuma was depicted not with a fading body, but with her dissolving into a pile of shimmering ashes—the very substance from which she first arose. The Fatui Harbinger's ash-based demise perfectly mirrors her origin story, creating a poetic cycle that feels intentionally incomplete. It suggests her story may not be over, and that her unique constitution makes her the ideal candidate for a second, Natlan-fueled "reignition."

Multiple Leaks Have Talked About Signora's Return To Genshin Impact

The community's speculation is amplified by a consistent undercurrent of leaks and rumors that have persisted for months. While all leaks should be approached with caution, their recurrence adds weight to the theory:

Leak Timeline	Key Claim	Source/Context
March 2024	Signora would have new story episodes within the Natlan arc.	Early leaker "Little Teyvat" (credibility mixed).
Pre-5.0 (2024)	Signora has a mysterious connection to the Pyro Sovereign.	Leaker HXG on community forums.
Persistent Rumors	Natlan's story will take a darker, more serious turn.	Community consensus based on narrative progression.

The most intriguing recent leak suggests Signora has some connection to the Pyro Sovereign. While details are absent, this potential link could provide the perfect narrative catalyst. If her power or essence is tied to a fundamental Pyro authority, then Natlan—the heart of pyro energy and the likely location of the sovereign's legacy—is the only place where such a connection could be exploited for resurrection.

Furthermore, the narrative timing makes sense. As the Traveler approaches the final nation of Snezhnaya, expected around 2025, the stakes must heighten. Reviving a major antagonist like Signora in Natlan would be a shocking escalation, demonstrating the Fatui's growing power and desperation. It could serve as a precursor to arriving in the Tsaritsa's homeland, potentially facing a (nearly) complete set of Eleven Harbingers once more—a terrifying prospect for the final act.

For now, Travelers must wait and watch as the Natlan saga begins. Capitano's confrontation with Mavuika will undoubtedly be spectacular, but the true drama may unfold in the shadows. Is he merely a loyal soldier, or is he a master tactician playing a long game for a fallen friend? The flames of Natlan hold the answer, and they whisper promises of heroes, rebirth, and secrets waiting to be reignited.
