Skirk is a mysterious character in Genshin Impact, known as Tartaglia’s (Childe’s) master during his time in the Abyss. She is a Cryo character set to become playable in version 5.7, alongside another new character, Dahlia.
Origin and Relationship with Tartaglia
Skirk was first mentioned in Tartaglia’s character story. When Tartaglia was 14 years old and fell into the Abyss, Skirk took him as her student and taught him combat techniques, including the "Foul Legacy" transformation that is now one of his trademarks. She claimed that the reason she trained Tartaglia was because he had “awakened something” within the Abyss—something Tartaglia later associated with the narwhal he saw in his dreams.
Characteristics and Personality
Skirk is portrayed as a powerful and quiet figure. She only speaks to those she deems her equals, as she believes the difference in “common sense” between herself and humans often leads to misunderstandings. She also stated that life is a blessing, but a person’s death can turn bonds into curses—hence, she chose not to return to the surface.
Connection to Surtalogi
Skirk is a student of Surtalogi, a mysterious being likened to Rhinedottir (Albedo’s creator) and said to own a creature known as the All-Devouring Narwhal. Surtalogi is described as a perfection-seeking entity with immense power.
In-Game Appearance
Skirk made her first direct appearance in the Archon Quest “Masquerade of the Guilty” (version 4.2), where she aided the Traveler and Neuvillette in fighting the All-Devouring Narwhal. During the encounter, she also revealed that the Gnosis are remnants of the Third Descender and can bring misfortune to their holders.
Fan Theories and Speculation
Some fan theories suggest that Skirk may have a connection to Amos from Mondstadt, based on similarities in design and color. However, this theory has not been confirmed and remains a topic of debate in the community.
