Kaeya Explained | Genshin Impact Lore 

Which side do you think Kaeya will choose? Mondstadt or Khaenri'ah?

Kaeya mains didn’t find a few crumbs, they found a whole loaf.

Kaeya in 4 words: If Cryo, why hot?

The dad literally pulled a "I'm going to buy milk"

If we get to fight Kaeya, I’m using Kaeya to fight Kaeya

Kaeya, the secret 5 star who is free. Kaeya is King.

I was confused by the fact that when the Hydro mage showed up Kaeya seemed to know it almost personally, saying 'So it was YOU who was behind this.'

I'm just waiting for Kaeya to be revealed as the rightful King of Khaenri'ah

at this rate, it's gonna take mihoyo like 5 to 6 years before finally getting to khaenri'ah & it'll be the kaeya mains who get the last laugh - whether kaeya becomes a boss fight and / or mihoyo releases a five star version of him - when the internet lose their shit & ask "since when was kaeya this strong?", we FINALLY get to scream: "ALWAYS HAS BEEN!!!!"

“Kaeya how come your dad isn’t here whenever I come over?” “I _SAID_ HE’S GETTING THE GRAPE JUICE”

It's like a punch in the gut - kaeya received a vision from the same gods that destroyed his people after his adopted dad died and he parted ways with his best friend and brother.

NO ONE can convince me that a SPY WHO ALSO HAVE A ROYALTY LINEAGE FROM A REGION THAT WILL BE RELEASED AT THE END OF THE GAME is just a SIDE CHARACTER. FIGHT ME.

i mean we always knew kaeya mains have great taste.

Everybody gangsta until Kaeya takes off his eyepatch

disappointing that one of the most important character in storyline is only 4 star

Kaeya is like the clown at school but depressed at home

Diluc: "I'm not your bro." Kaeya: "That's why yo daddy dead"

okay but imagine a boss fight with kaeya, but like not his usual skills

Looking back at kaeya’s story quest, he made claims about his grandfather having “treasure” (which he claimed to be a pirate, another lie). This “treasure” turned out to be a sword, which may or may not foreshadow something related to the “sword” or dainsleif in this case. It doesn’t make it any better that alberich, the “king of supernatural beings”, was a dwarf and Dainsleif (the sword) was made by a dwarven craftsman, Dain. It all seems to align too well. It might seem far fetched but it’s an interesting thought.

Man Kaeya is a good character and Kaeya has a good storyline that we know of so far SO WHY DOES KAEYA ONLY HAVE 1 LITTLE STORY QUEST

Those who gained cryo visions are those who had to face the worst of reality. And those that fought for love or duty. The Tsaritsa was once known as the Goddess of Love like how Rex Lapis was the God of Contracts and Barbatos, the God of Freedom. Now the Tsaritsa's divine ideal has most likely changed.

i think the reason Kaeya likes putting people in situations where they have to make tough decisions is bc he wants to know how people make their decisions and why. most likely bc he’s battling with decision himself, and is secretly seeking guidance from others so he can finally make up his mind.

I also noticed that kaeya’s ice last longer than any cryo character on the water. He’s last’s 16 seconds and the others don’t come close. But Cryo abyss mages ice lasts 16 seconds as well. I thought it was an interesting detail especially since Kaeya is a free 4 star and not even a five star can do that.

So Diluc is fully aware that Keaya might betray everyone at anytime? And is cool with it?

Kaeya in game : people underestimated hi Kaeya in lore : I’m mysteriois and strong 😺

I believe Kaeya will side with Khaenri'ah but in order to save Mondstadt in his own way. Similar to Eren's actions from AOT

I dont know why but i just really think mihoyo is planning something big for kaeya. So all you kaeya mains out there dont sleep on him, something big might happen in the future for kaeya. Or if they dont make him a 5 star they might give him more artifacts and buff up his talents even more. So that his power is on par with even zhongli or diluc. Only 4 star to outmatch zhongli and diluc. Actually i can see some videos of 4 star kaeya outclassing keqing just saying. So buffing him more would be great. He would be the most op 4 star dps if ever they dont make him a 5 star and just buff his stats

One thing I find interesting is how in Klee's story quest Kaeya writes a survival guide for her and the writing is so messy the Traveler wonders if it's really Kaeya's handwriting. But while everyone is looking at the poem Kaeya wrote in hilichurlan, no one makes a comment like that at all. This indicates that Kaeya's Mondstatian writing is bad but he is a lot better at writing in Hilichurlan which makes me think Hilichurlan really is the language of Khaenri'ah and Kaeya learned it well when he was growing up in Khaenri'ah. He probably taught himself how to write in Mondstatian because he didn't know how and so no one knew he couldn't write Mondstatian because it would be suspicious. Because he taught himself, his writing in Mondstatian is sloppy whereas his Khaenri'an writing is good because people taught him. I know Kaeya only wrote a single sentence in Khaenri'an and could have still forgotten much of the language of his youth, but he does still remember some and that indicates that Kaeya has been writing in Khaenri'an after his father abandoned him.

*Everyone gangsta till Kaeya gets removed from our inventories and he is suddenly made a 5 star a character with og moves 👀*

Kaeya doesn't have a sword art related to Knights of Favonious, when every knight/affliliated has it's own version. Noelle: Favonious Bladework - Maid Albedo: Favonious Bladework - Weiss Jean: Favonious Bladework Kaeya: Ceremonial Bladework

What if they upgrade him into a 5 star when kaenriah arc comes. Then he has a secret power on his eye and does not have an eye patch anymore. "5 star kaeya prince of kaenr'iah" or maybe so those who built him wont go to waste, if you successfully pull for 5 star him, you can switch between 4 star kaeya and 5 star kaeya. The only character in the game to allow switching of forms. 5 star kaeya would have different skill sets and ult. Talents will be the same but more overpowered. Kaeya's physical damage multiplier will further increase. 4 star= regular kaeya 5 star= no eye patch kaeya

Here's something i’ve noticed about eyes and eyepatches: - kaeya’s namecard suggests that the peacock (kaeya) is not missing an eye - kaeya’s constellation shows the peacock’s right eye: the eye that is covered with an eyepatch - his c1 “excellent blood” corresponds to that eye in norse mythology, odin, the god king of asgard, sacrificed his eye in order to see everything that happens in the world, or in other words, gain enhanced perception. fischl is also said to be a reference to odin due to her eyepatch and raven, through which she “sees the world” fischl summons power from the eye that she keeps hidden. perhaps she is not the only one who does this. in her case, she gets this power from her vision, but since people in khaenri’ah don’t have visions (kaeya got his while in mondstadt) their source of power seems more eerie. in other words, it’s possible that 1) kaeya hides a certain (perhaps evil?) power behind his eyepatch 2) hiding this eye somehow gives him the ability to “see” kaeya literally has a talent called hidden strength so he’s definitely not at 100% of his power level.

If the Cryo Archon turned against Celestia because of the downfall of Khaenri'ah, that might also have been motivation for her to give Kaeya her favor.

Kaeya might be my favorite character in whole of genshin at the moment. I'm sure he'll be soo important in late story the guy screams plot. And oh his story made me sad and I want to protect him.

The tsarista was simping for him too 😌 she gave him a vision.

I have a theory for this, but it is different. Idk why but I like to believe that Kaeya has grown so attached to the people of Monstadt that just the thought of hurting them- whether it be physically or emotionally- makes him sick. Like- He'd gotten so used to help everyone else out and being by their side throughout his time in the City of Freedom. I don't know, I just love him too much to be able to change this thought. I'll be internally screaming if he does in fact turn his course of action for the worst :"D

I love to theorize and love simping for Kaeya, so here's my take! I'd like to add more to what you mentioned about peacock feathers. Peacocks mean a lot, as they hold a lot of symbolism in many cultures and religions. ..."nobility, guidance, holiness, watchfulness, and protection." "self-confidence, self-esteem, dignity, refinement, knowledge, sexuality, pride, and beauty." "the peacock is a sign of rebirth, renewal, and rejuvenation. It stands for immortality." I'd like to point out a few key words: nobility, protection, self-confidence, self-esteem, knowledge, rebirth and immortality. Nobility: The theory of Kaeya being the Prince of Khanre'iahhas been getting pretty popular, and is gaining more significance due to Kaeya's screentime as of late. There's a lot of reasons to back that up. - Kaeya's voiceline of Fischl. He mentions her eyepatch and mentions her status of "princess." The last sentence I think really impacts it the most, is, "royal progeny." - Jean's mentioned to the Traveler she'd talk to us about the "King of Khanre'iah. Although Kaeya isn't mentioned here, it does imply that there is royalty. - (Take this with a grain of salt, because I haven't spoken to this NPC in a while) Vile, an NPC in Mondstadt, tells us that she calls Kaeya "Prince Charming" and I THINK Kaeya tells her to not call him that. Protection: What you said about how Kaeya could possibly be trying to protect the ones he loves seems very possible. Kaeya has not revealed much, or at least revealed vague descriptions of his past. It could either be he simply doesn't want to recall the past (which is very possible, since Mona's voiceline said that he made a clean break with his past) or that he is protecting the people he knows, by not revealing information. Self-confidence and self-esteem: Kaeya's a pretty laid-back and confidant guy, who's always got the upper hand and he knows it. He's slick with the tongue and he is able to gain information out of people with his smooth-talk. He holds himself higher than others, and it shows. Personally, I think, it's actually quite possible he's like this, is because himself has witnessed and faced absolute agony, that he deserves worthiness. Knowledge: Kaeya is said to be the "brains of the group." I mean, he landed himself as Calvary Captain in the Knights of Favonious, which is pretty significant. He's smart cookie. He also managed to orchestrate the whole quest of his fake pirate story and a fake sword, just to arrest some thief. But it isn't only intelligence that makes him whole, it's what he knows. Khanre'iah. Rebirth: For Kaeya, I connect "rebirth" as in Kaeya being reborn as a new person-- a Mondstadian. From Mona's voiceline that tells us that Kaeya has made a break from his past, I feel that this contributes to being reborn. Immortality: In Bough Keeper, Dainsleif's mentioned Old Monstadt, which was 500 years ago. I believe he specifically said how Old Monstadt is different from the current one today. It always made me wonder how Dain is able to recognize that. That's when I began thinking that Dain could be immortal. And that may also contribute to Kaeya. However, I don't think Kaeya is immortal, as in the comic, he is seen as a child. I think immortality simply contributes to Kaeya and his background. Those who were plagued in Khanre'iah were transformed into monsters (the hilichurls we see today).It isn't confirmed, but I think the monsters are immortal. It also contributes to Dainsleif's arm. If you remember, it's all black and blue, and not human-like. I think Dainsleif could be part monster, and that's allowed him to live forever. Since I don't think Kaeya's immortal, I don't think he was ever plagued like Dainsleif. I think what hides under his eyepatch, could be a mark only royalty has, if the Prince of Khanre'iah theory holds up. Appearence-wise, I still don't know what it could look like, but I do know that it's some mark that only his lineage could have. Random notes and theories (some spoilers): I think why Kaeya takes pleasure in seeing people make hard choices, and have to experience fear and pain, is because he himself has experienced the worst pain and fear, or simply experienced a lot of pain and fear, that it can't compete to their own agony. Also, Kaeya can speak Hilichurlian. That's obviously a sign. It makes me wonder how many of his own people he's killed. If he can understand Hilichurlian, he probably understands the agony they feel. Which makes it more heartbreaking, knowing he has to kill them. I also have a thought that Crepus wasn't the man we thought him to be. As in, he could've actually been a bad guy. But I wouldn't consider him evil, but I think he has the right goals, but has questionable decisions. It's a stretch, but Crepus could have been a Harbinger to obtain that Vision and operate it. Take this with a grain of salt, but someone told me that Khanre'iah tried making Visions, but that backfired. If this was true, it's possible the Khanre'iahns were later forced to make Delusions by the Abyss Order, or the Fatui, and one just so happened to fall into Crepus' hands. Lowkey hope this theory won't be real, because I love Crepus to death I feel that Kaeya's father may have been plagued, and was going to become a monster (a hilichurl). So, to save Kaeya from this grief, he'd tell him he'd get some grape juice. And of course, he never came back. For Kaeya's talents, one of them was changed from "Heart of the Abyss" to "Glacial Heart" instead. That talent was for his decrease in stamina consumption. It's not confirmed if Khanre'iah IS the Abyss, or if they are separate. I honestly side with both. Abyss Mages (especially cryo) Kaeya have a lot in common. - Have icicles that circle around them - Have that fur on them - Intelligent (abyss mages > hilichurls, Kaeya > other people) - Can teleport I had a theory that the Hilichurlian language was actually Khanre'iahn's language. But since it's so outdated and almost no one ever used it anymore, everyone forgot about it (and also Khanre'iah's seclusion to society, rarely anyone contacted any Khan'reiahns at all). Glad to see someone had this theory as well haha When Mona mentioned in the voiceline, of "greatness and grandeur," it might mean his ascension to the throne (if the Prince of Khanre'iah theory is correct). It's possible that since he is the heir to the throne, he would need to take reigns of his kingdom, Khanre'iah. However, since he has sided with Mondstadt his entire life, he is truly in a position of difficult. Kaeya's clothing holds a lot of significance - Stars. So. Many. Stars. - The fur on his shoulder, similar to Cryo Abyss Mages - Someone mentioned the cuffs on his ankle and wrists. They said something about him being a prisoner, or that he was restrained to prevent him from escaping. - The sleeves he has. Look at the ends of them. They look quite similar to Paimon and Dainsleif's clothing, which have that thing on it.

I will always believe that Kaeya is a prince of khaenri'ah and hoping he will be 5* character! Man, I can't wait for Khaenri'ah arc but I need to wait for 10 years. As Kaeya main, i want to know more about his backstory. :(

As a Tamil person, I did not know that Kaeya meant Monsoon flower lmao

Im so glad there's a video about kaeya's character, this is amazing.

This is one great video! Thank you for sharing it with us! :) Now, Kaeya is one of the characters I have a soft spot for (he is actually my favorite) due to both his backstory and the fact that he is so misunderstood (another long discussion) and often painted as the "bad guy", while Diluc is labeled the "good guy" (don't get me wrong, I love Diluc as well and if there is one thing I wanna see, that is a reconciliation between these two). While Kaeya is shady and probably has ulterior motives I don't doubt that he is a decent person. He had every chance to betray Mond after Diluc's departure and the destruction of their relationship as there was nothing tieing him there anymore but he did not. He stayed behind and served - still serves - as a protector of Mondstadt. Also, if Diluc thought him a true threat to the safety of Mond, he wouldn't have kept his secret or allowed him to stay in town. He has the vibe of the character that will commit some kind of treason only for us to later learn that he did it/was some kind of double agent in order to save the people he holds close. So yes, I do believe that he will side with Khaenri'ah (perhaps even the Abyss order, who knows?) for a time. Will he do it to protect Mondstadt? Absolutely, there is no doubt in my mind about that. It is also worth pointing out that the Japanese version of his name is "Gaia". It sounds and looks very, very similar to Gaia (also written Gaea), the Ancient Greek Goddess of Earth, one of the primordial elemental deities, the great mother of all creation. I saw the clips from Festive Anecdotes so I assume you've played the new quest (take note people, that from this moment forward my comment will contain spoilers so if you do not wish to be spoiled, I suggest you cease reading) and therefore you know of the love poem. The "Mi muhe ye" that Kaeya wrote does not mean "I love you". It actually means "I triumph over you" and it comes from a song the Hilichurls chant before diving into battle. I see a lot of people saying that Kaeya is threatening Venti which I think is absolutely ridiculous. Instead, this admittedly strange event leads me to think of these scenarios: 1) Kaeya has his suspicions (in the game, there has been no canonical mention of him knowing) about Venti being Barbatos - if he doesn't already know - and is trying to confirm those suspicions while letting Venti know that he is aware of his secret. 2) Kaeya was trying to warn Venti about something, most likely related to the upcoming main story quest. Kaeya has connections to all kinds of people throughout Teyvat. It is possible that something may have reached his ears, and he's trying to warn our dear bard. I'm almost positive that Kaeya and Venti's relationship isn't what it looks like. They know a lot more about each other than they let on. Venti was there when Khaenri'ah fell, he knows what happened and he certainly knows Kaeya is Khaenri'ahn. 3) It was really nothing and simply Kaeya trying to one-up Traveller again. Honestly, I find this highly unlikely because so far, everything the characters have done has contributed to the story in one way or another, directly or otherwise. 4) Also, consider this. What if Venti was trying to warn Kaeya about something? Kaeya bolted from the room right after the poem was read, saying that he saw "someone suspicious". However, he was with his back to the window and the change in his mood was a bit too sudden. It was later revealed that the "suspicious person" was Rosaria but wouldn't Kaeya recognize Rosaria in broad daylight? They are good friends and confidants after all. We really don't know what the relationship between these two truly is like. What if Kaeya has known for a while now that Venti is Barbatos? What if he and Venti have been "working" together to protect Mond? What if Kaeya is looking for ways to protect his chosen family in Mond in secret so as not to blow his cover and cause trouble with the people from Khaenri'ah that expect him to betray Mond? Wouldn't surprise me. 5) But there's a fifth option too. Kaeya, a genius, smooth talker - Venti himself calls him that - suddenly wants to learn how to write love poems. He is the one to suggest that the students do homework for Venti to review later. Then, we have Rosaria who seems to appear out of nowhere and knowing all about a personal letter to Barbara. And last but not least, we have Jean and Lisa out on patrol. Seems a bit weird, doesn't it? What if they have caught wind of something and are trying to keep Venti occupied to protect him? We all know what happened last time: La Signora stole his Gnosis. Rosaria sent them out of the city to look for the person who wrote Barbara's letter. Seems like they wanted him out of the city, no? What if they are stalling him with seemingly meaningless tasks like checking the homework of random people and sending him outside of town to keep him away from a potential threat? So yes, Kaeya is shrouded in darkness, and in my humble opinion, will betray Mondstandt for a time, only for us to later learn that he did it to save the ones he loves. Which is where his relationship with Diluc will come into play and at the forefront. Of course, this is just speculation based on the scraps of information we have and I could be criminally wrong. However, as much of a stretch as this might seem, I find it really interesting to think about! :) If you're reading this, kudos! You made it to the end of my little rambling episode! Have a lovely day! XD

Ok idk if anyone said this yet but kaeya and dainsleif have eye patches on their right eyes yea? So it’s probably a decent connection to “the King’s Eye” from the bible where in a treaty the people are told to either gouge out their right eye and live in peace yet shame under foreign power or die opposing. Perhaps kaeya took out his eye and dainsleif gave the illusion of taking out his eye? I just really had to say something about this lol sorry

His father really pulled the milk trick on him xD

I always watch Kaeya lore to remind myself that leveling Kaeya to lvl 80 is worth it.

Ever since i've got introduced to Kaeya at the beginning of my gameplay journey, I felt a connection to him right away. His design, his personality and the lore of his really caught my attention. It's been maybe half of a year or less than that but i probably know his entire lore, he's lvl 90 and quite soon to be triple crowned. Hey, you! Person reading this comment! Share some thoughts ;) -A dedicated Kaeya main

all this and he’s still a four star

Im so glad kaeya is getting the recognition he deserves ❤️..

Kaeya,Dainsleif,Albedo and Aether/Lumine involved in Khaen'ria Kaeya and Dainsleif were from the fallen nation,Albedo his creator responsible for it's destruction and Aether/Lumine becoming the Abyss Prince/Abyss Princess and the Khaenrians cursed and turned into monsters forming the Abyss Order

We need more badass edits like this 13:01 in your future videos

Why does it seem that those with Cryo visions wants to protect someone (like Diona)?

Has anyone else noticed that Kaeya's vision is the only one from all the Mondstadt characters that's different from the others?

This may be a bit far-etched but in Kaeya's voicelines about Fischl he said something rougly like this "she wears an eyepatch and she's a royal so does that mean I'm a royal too?" and I think it implies something

I recently got into the game and I fell in love with Kaeya's character. A part of me feels like Kaeya has the choice to betray Mondstadt but he probably doesn't want to due to how he practically grew up there and though he's not in good terms with his new family, he still has them with him. The fact Diluc knows too, builds some sort of wall of trust between the characters while also bringing tension bc there is always that slight chance Kaeya could betray Mondstadt and its people. The question is, if Kaeya does choose to betray everyone, would it be on his own terms or would he be forced to? By either someone stronger or maybe he would be forced to take matters into his own hands. If the game does take that turn, he strikes me as the "to defeat evil, I must become a greater evil" type of knight.

kaeya should have been a 5 star. His entire story proves that

fun random fact : what kaeya wrote in his poem doesn't mean ily but a war cry instead. this can be found in the game archive books section," hilichurl balldas " as it's said it's something said before they go into battle

he's so op in the comic! really wanna use his ice shield in game :'(

The thing about Kaeya being a descendant of Khaenri'ah yet the nation being destroyed for 500 years already was bugging me for awhile now cuz he had a childhood with Diluc. And then I thought what if it's not actually 500 years but 500 years in Khaenri'ahn time? I did a little bit of math, converting 500 years to months to know how many days it would be if converted to Teyvat time. Since 3 months there equals to 3 days in Teyvat, 6000 months = 6000 days. Then multiply it to 365 (I assume that their calendar is just the same as ours so I could be wrong) and you get around 16 years in Teyvat. Assuming that Kaeya is around 22 years old present day (the age can be changed) he must be 6 years old when Khaenri'ah was destroyed. I don't know how many years later he was dropped off to mondstadt though. But then again I might get disproven in the future. I'm wondering if you age fast in Khaenri'ah or time just files by fast there. I'm not sure about my calculations too.

Kaeya, in my opinion, is one of the best Cryo swords and has a very... interesting lore

i just hate it when people sympathize diluc so much when - kaeya watched his nation being destroyed - kaeya's dad abandoned him by will when he was just around 10 yrs old while dilucs dad died saving his son - kaeya witness the father who loved him like his own die, and kaeya could do nothing about it - kaeya lives with fear of somebody finding out his secret, and the guilt of not coming clean to the people who accepted and loved him so much i mean kaeya has been through so much, he just hides it behind laughs and smirks while diluc is openly grumpy

i would like it if kaeya betrayed and destroyed a lot of mondstat and diluc and him fight eventually leading kaeya to remeber his past with diluc and join mondstat again

Imagine Kaeya end up acting like the Joker :)

There also Theory bases on his past and bestrat that he whould die for Diluc if the worst possible thing whould happend, if it in the betray or figthing a bigger villain. But didnt Albedo also not say anything about Khaenri'ahn in his story ark in Dragonspine?

Interested to see everyone's thoughts on this now after the last quest we had with Dainsleif... I stand by the storyline of Khaenri'ah and as it pertains to Kaeya, Dainsleif, and Albedo to be the main reason I'm so into Genshin.... I'd like to think that Kaeya is the Prince of Khaenri'ah and will pull a Loki on us at least once, where he double crosses both the Abyss and Mondstadt. He's such an interesting and well-planned morally grey character that easily fits into either side, and that's why he's my favorite! I can't wait to delve further into the lore of Khaenri'ah

He took "Icy Hot" to another level

Acctually, if you do the photo glitch on his eyepatch, you can see his eye looks like fallen khaenri'ah (black, with orange-like squares, circles, his pupil stays tho) , that might be just MiHoyo's laziness but, they'd probably first finish the whole model before modeling additional details. Also, his abyss-like fur cape on his shoulder, the same one abyss mages have.

Concerning Germanic names it is worth noting that Kaya is a name that exist in the norse languages and versions of it exist for both women and men.

i cant wait till he gets involved with the Khaenri'ah stuff in-game! I wanna learn more about how he is connected to Khaenri'ah and how he feels about Khaenri'ah

AYEE MY BOY thank you man!

Still can't get over him saying "that gliding style seems familiar" about us when we first meet him and click to talk to him in the kof office pfft Also couldn't help but bring it up, I can't remember the exact translation but I believe Gnosis is a term which means heart in a way? I would research into it further again if I had the willpower but if I'm not far off, makes his old con name "heart of the abyss" even more intriguing

Notice how a lot of Kaeya lines end with "Interesting..." What is he trying to figure out. As a Kaeya main I noticed this recently. I believe he is part of some royal blood line or will betray everyone. Either way I will always have the same amount of respect for him as I do now.

I really like Kaeya and I’m glad he’s unique looking! And I really hope that he does get back into the spotlight in a big way! I hope he really is a prince lol. And I especially hope he sides with mondstat or helps the two places get together.

I'm just waiting for Mihoyo to release Khaenri'ah to Kaeya finally be really important in the story + If they will release a Kaeya boss fight well, goodbye free Kaeya and welcome 5 star Kaeya

When the Abyss Mages spawn/notice you, they say what sounds like Kaeya's name. Could mean something.

Mihoyo needs to add a hug option.

I've already commented on this video 3 weeks ago but I wanted to share my research combined with other peoples' information- Kaeya's fourth talent used to be called "Heart of the Abyss", most people in the community know that. Kaeya's voiceline of Fischl was also a bit suspicious to me, he said that he was also somehow a "royal progeny" because of Fischl having an eyepatch and being a princess, just like Kaeya having an eyepatch as well, but on his right eye. In the Reunited quest, The Traveler or Paimon joked about Dainsleif being a 'relative' because Katheryne said that Dainsleif had exotic clothes and an eyepatch. I've heard about this theory from a different person, but they found one of Kaeya's elemental burst voicelines suspicious. And the voiceline was "This moment will be frozen in time!". They thought it was suspicious because there was another theory that Dainsleif had an ability called "Chrono". And they thought that voiceline had something to do with Dainsleif's power. Wanted to share this voiceline theory. Kaeya's japanese va said himself that Kaeya was more important than we think, and to look out on him, that might mean mihoyo's preparing something big for Kaeya most likely in the Khaenri'ah arc. Mona's voiceline also might mean Kaeya would have to devide between Mondtadt or Khaenri'ah. Wanted to share my thoughts, thank you if you notice this comment! Let's hope we all make it to the Khaenri'ah arc! ♡︎

when you started talking about the hydro abyss mage i was like oh shit! i didn’t even make that connection 😯 thank you for these lore videos, so many things i don’t catch and learn new stuff regarding symbolism and even voice lines from other characters since i haven’t dived deep into those 🙏🏼

I still don't understand why he's a 4 star character, do you think Mihoyo can change him into a 5 star like make a completely different character of him when Khaenri'ah comes out ...?

Yoo dude this video was really interesting and cool, i don’t really see anyone cover this (or it just hasn’t been recommended) but ur channel is filled with these lores behind the characters and thats really sick. gonna go watch them after this, but you are getting a sub first, thanks for the video

I think it's worth noting that the character stories seem to contradict each other in small details. In Kaeya's character story 5, it says that at the moment of Crepus' death, "Sinister thoughts flashed through Kaeya's mind, and he simply smirked", while in his vision story it says about the same moment "that ancient plot [was] running through his mind", and talks of him feeling consumed with guilt. It's hard to picture him smirking reading only the vision story. Also, the manga shows him looking shocked/horrified at the scene, certainly not smirking. But story 5 cannot be ignored, either. Which is the truth? Perhaps he smirked afterwards or something?? It's also worth mentioning that in Diluc's story 3 it says "Crepus died shortly after in his son's arms", while in Kaeya's vision story it says "To set his father free from the unbearable agony, Diluc Ragnvindr took his life". Again, which is the truth? Is Diluc's story sugarcoating it, or perhaps this point to an error in Kaeya's perception of that day's events? If Diluc did kill Crepus it seems like it would have been a significant moment in his life, no? Small contradictions, but contradictions nonetheless. It's been bugging me for a while, so I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts or clarifications in case it's just mistranslations or something lol.

Well flipping shit, thank you for this video I appreciate Kaeya even more now but DAMN MiHoYo ya'll really know how to write a character back story 👀 Also oml my guy but I love your voice for these videos!!

kaeya might be one of those characters to die when genshin story goes dark. Also might be one of the first to have access to a new feature of awakening if mihoyo use it , gameplay wise.

Kaeya’s dad: “I’ll get us some grape juice for the road” *leaves* My dad: “I’ll get you some milk for your cereal” *also leaves*

kaeya best man ever

I feel like the grey streak in his hair is from the curse...

if Kaeya ever becomes evil, i will forever love him... he truly is the best free character ever!

I am forever in your debt for making this video

Kaeya lore: the last hope of a civilization that was literally genocided by the gods Kaeya story quest: fake pirate treasure

Kaeya is no longer the Calvary Captain... His new title is the Chivalry Captain LOL. Tbh that fits him better because I cannot imagine him riding a hoarse haha

If they ever make a 5* Kaeya they BETTER give it to the ones that maxed him out, idc

Diluc: "Kaeya? You can only trust half of what he says...at best."

wait so Dainsleif would have been his guard? Now THAT is a combination I'd love to see!

Kaeya is a prince of the abyss. He is a royalty from khaenriah. People of khaenriah were cursed by the Celestian gods to become hilichurls. Those who didn’t turn into hilichurls became the abyss order. The hilichurls and the abyss order are kaeya’s people.

I'm glad I could find this gem of a video

Your calm voice makes this so better even tho I've digged all of the lore already, I could watch it again and again cuz this feels official somehow

Kaeya: haha I will destroy mondstadt, because I'm the prince of the Abyss Me a Kaeya simp: ok King, slay Jean: ???what? But MONDSTADT! Me: lol Glory to Kaehnriah

Now with new story quest "We Will be Reunited", I'm kind of confused about how Kaeya kind of exists. *NEXT PART IS A SPOILER FOR THIS QUEST* Since it was revealed that Khaenri'ah was essentially destroyed by the Gods and that all of its people turned into abyss mages and the likes with Dainsleif being the exception due to a curse, how is it that Kaeya exists as a human? And possibly of a royal bloodline despite the destruction of Khaenri'ah 500 years ago?

It's good stuff like this that really gets my emotions going lmao. Fuck, Kaeya and his lore are so cool.

Me, before watching the video: Okay, so either I learn nothing new out of this OR I end up having a breakdown because of so much new information for theories. Me, being in minute one: ….definitely the second one

Oh man Kaeya is so confusing, so many question especially after Chapter 1 about the other twin's motive.

also in kaeyas dialouge about fishcl he jokes about being a prince because of his eyepatch
