Alhaitham captured a lot of attention the moment he appeared as an NPC in Genshin Impact 3.0. Finally, in version 3.4, the Akademiya's Scribe was released alongside the Dendro healer, Yaoyao. Alhaitham is part of the Haravatat of the Sumeru Akademiya, which is one of the six Darshans that focuses on stuff like semiotics, linguistics, and ancient runes studies.
