Genshin Impact Kaveh: Early leaks and speculations about Alhaitham’s roommate
Last Updated on: 9th September 2022, 01:55 am
The Palace of Alcazarzaray is one of the most opulent structures in Genshin Impact. However, behind this structure is an architect named Kaveh, who has gone into debt during the palace’s construction for unknown reasons.
While the palace can be seen as plain as day, its architect hasn’t appeared in the game yet. So, if you’re wondering who Kaveh is, we have gathered some information for you!
In this article, we’ll tell you what the game officially says about the architect, with some leaks and speculations on the side.
Who is Kaveh in Genshin Impact?
Two of the current playable characters in Genshin Impact have something to say about the architect. For one, Collei shares a hilarious experience involving Kaveh in one of her voice lines.
“The General Mahamatra once brought him to our place for a meal. From the moment the fruit arrived on the table, he ranted non-stop about his difficult and stubborn roommate for the entire meal. We didn’t get a single word in the whole time. We just nodded along and tried to stifle our laughter. It took a lot of effort.”
– Collei, About Kaveh
If you’re wondering who this “roommate” is, it’s none other than Alhaitham, an upcoming character who first appears as a quest-exclusive NPC in Chapter III: Act I – Through Mists of Smoke and Forests Dark.
Moreover, Tighnari also talks about Alhaitham and his “housemate” in one of his voice lines:
“Be careful of Alhaitham. I’m not saying he’s a bad guy, but he purely operates by rationality, so people often find his actions unacceptable. If you don’t believe me, just ask his housemate — thanks to Alhaitham, he has more pent-up frustration than an angry Anemo Slime.”
– Tighnari, About Alhaitham
On the other hand, Tighnari shares how the bickering duo ended up living under the same roof.
“Kaveh is a famous architect in Sumeru. The Palace of Alcazarzaray is his magnum opus. During the initial planning, he even asked me to recommend suitable ornamental flora. I don’t know why or how, but he ended up heavily in debt after the palace was completed. Alhaitham is helping out by letting him stay him at his place, but… I don’t know whether that’s a blessing or a curse…”
– Tighnari, About Kaveh
Apart from these voice lines, some bulletin boards across Sumeru City and Port Ormos mention a tall blond man with a roommate.
How does Kaveh look like?
Kaveh‘s roommate Alhatham has already appeared in the game. However, the famous architect’s appearance is still a mystery.
Of course, this doesn’t stop fans from speculating what upcoming characters could look like. In fact, one Kaveh fan art by @waternaeng has caught the attention of many expecting Kaveh “wanters.” It can be recalled that this same artist has predicted what Kamisato Ayato looked like before the Yashiro Commissioner was officially revealed.
As translated by Google from Korean, the artist said:
“There is no information other than the fact that she looks blonde and tall. Designing her own way.. Because she’s an architect, she’s in the rocks..”
To avoid confusion, Kaveh is a man as officially shared by the in-game voice lines. Due to the complexity of third-person pronouns in Korean, the direct translation states the feminine ones.
What are Kaveh’s abilities?
While there is currently no information on Kaveh‘s talents, known leaker @SpendYourPrimos recently shared that the architect is a Dendro character.
Considering Kaveh‘s relationship with Alhaitham, fans speculate that the architect would be a dedicated support character for the latter. This is similar to how Faruzan is rumored to be a niche character for Scaramouche.
However, these haven’t been officially revealed by HoYoverse yet and should, therefore, be taken with a grain of salt.
Genshin Impact is an action role-playing game developed by miHoyo, also known as HoYoverse. The game is available for PC, PS4, PS5, iOS, and Android, while a release on Nintendo Switch is currently in the works.
