Symbol and constellations of the Harbingers of Fatui

There's an official image online featuring the Harbingers' symbolism: each member of the organization is assigned a constellation that reflects their essence. The topmost circle depicts the Eye of Corruption—the frame of the artifact from Snezhnaya—with the organization's symbol within.

Previously, the community thought the mask at the top alluded to the leader, Pierrot, but later noted that the Jester on the left suited him better. The exact meaning of the figure above the circle is still unknown, but there are several theories:

• She symbolizes the Archon Queen, since the organization is directly subordinate to her.
• The sign indicates that each Harbinger wears a "mask" that hides his true intentions.
• The symbol can be associated with the faction name: Fatuus translated from Latin as "fools" and in Chinese "愚人众" means "a bunch of fools." 

The constellations of the remaining Harbingers were chosen by the community based on their roles in story quests:

Number	Symbol	Precursor	Title
Lider		Pierrot	Jester
1		Capitano	Captain
2		Dottore	Doctor
3		Columbina	Soubrette
4		Arlecchino	The Knave
5		Pulcinella	Цыпленок
6		Scaramuccia	Narrator
7		Sandrone	Puppet
8		Signora	Wonderful lady
9		Pantalone	Businessman
11		Tartaglia	Childe

The number ten is also missing from the image, possibly suggesting that this number was omitted intentionally.

Interesting Facts

Escoffier's "Gastronomic Symphony" trailer showed a gathering of the Harbingers, shaped like ice figures. Each seat at the table is assigned to a specific member, and the statues reveal their motives. Most of the Fatui are preoccupied with their own desires, and only Pierrot sits over a secret dish. This likely alludes to the fact that only the leader pursues the organization's true goals—the overthrow of the Celestial Principles. This can be compared to the saying "Revenge is a cold dish."

An image of the Harbingers as cards has circulated online, with the left-facing characters representing the weekly bosses. According to this theory, Pierrot is expected to be the next weekly boss.

Another interesting theory relates to the Major Arcana of the Tarot. According to it, the Fatui player's number corresponds to a specific card:

• 0 (22) The Fool - Pierrot.
• 1 Magician - Captain.
• 2 High Priestess - Dottore.
• 3 Empress - Columbine.
• 4 Emperor - Harlequin.
• 5 Hierophant - Pulcinella.
• 6 Lovers - Scaramuccia.
• 7 Chariot - Sandrone.
• 8 Strength - Signora.
• 9 The Hermit - Pantalone.
• 11 Justice - Tartaglia.

The leader of the Fatui occupies a special place among them, as he has no number. The Tarot deck begins with the Fool card. It symbolizes a person with a pure soul, capable of challenging the old order and rebuilding the world. This is precisely the organization's main mission.
