Dainsleif's Element Currently Unknown

Genshin - Dainsleif Having No Vision

Dainsleif doesn't possess any Vision, nor does he possess an Element familiar to Teyvat's current Elements. It's possible that he may use other Elements unique from the Seven, as Khaenri'ah itself was godless.

Dainsleif Story Summary

Originally From Khaenri'ah

Unlike the other nations, Khaenri'ah was godless. It is for the very fact that their civilization had flourished and was able to create powerful machinery like the Field Tiller, and advance their alchemical expertise.

However, this was also the catalyst of their own destruction, as the gods (presumably Celestia) deemed Khaenri'ah too ambitious. Dainsleif implores the Traveler to be wary of the gods because of this very fact.

The Twilight Sword

Dainsleif was the Twilight Sword, or the royal guard that sought to protect Khaenri'ah 500 years ago. However, he failed his duty to do so. Because of this, he was laid a curse of immortality, as he watched his own people turn into the monsters of the Abyss Order.

Studied Black Serpent Bladework

Dainsleif studied the Black Serpent Bladework fighting style under the instructor named Haden, whom he loathes for the way the instructor punished students and suppressed talented knights in the past.

Dainsleif also revealed that Surtalogi, a fellow knight in training with him at the time, lost limbs due to Haden's machinations in the past. According to Skirk's voice line about Dainsleif, he and Surtalogi used to be best friends, and are rivals.

Hunting Down the Abyss Order

It is Dainsleif's personal mission to oppose the Abyss Order, although his motives for doing so are still unclear. It's possible that he wants to save the people he was tasked to protect before from falling deeper into evil.

Traveled with the Abyss Twin

Dainsleif had been traveled with the Abyss Twin for a considerable number of years. Although it hasn't been confirmed yet how long exactly he traveled with them, it's clear before the Cataclysm that befell Khaenri'ah happened, Dainsleif traveled across Teyvat with the Abyss Twin.

Suffering Erosion

Due to the curse of immortality from Celestia, Dainsleif is suffering from erosion, in the form of memory loss. According to Dainsleif, he remember things in the past every now and then, but he hasn't completely regained anything that would explain pretty well what happened during the Cataclysm.

Masked Dahrian Swordsman

According to Zurvan during The Hymn of Tir Yazad quest, she fought side-by-side a Masked Dahrian Swordsman, with golden hair, whose body is half of a monster. Although Zurvan initially noted the swordsman had no monstrosity inside him.

This was alluded to be Dainsleif, who eventually had to leave with another individual said to have golden hair like his!
