A funny fact about Alhaitham, the whole reason why he decided to help the Traveller and others to rescue Kusanali and save Sumeru from a fake god is because he simply wanted to return to his usual job's relaxing schedule.

Alhaitham and Kaveh's relationship feels like the clash between subjective and objective thought, morality and rationality.

Kaveh is... Actually a lot sweeter than he seems in the story quest

Alhaitham already made that clear in the Archon Quest, he is not against helping people but he won't waste his time trying to save everyone because that's just not feasible, and yet he somehow ended up saving Sumeru anyway.

A wise woman once said “Two things can be true at once” Subjective and Objective thought can exist together they are not mutually exclusive. Rationality and morality can very much co-exist. I think Kaveh and Al-haithem balance one another perfectly. They may not agree and fight often but I think this is why they’re friends still.

So he's the type of guy who enjoys learning at peace and in his own pace and clashes with people who don't operate on the same level of intellect as him. He's not emotionless per say but rather simply driven by logic and rational, to the point that he can come off as tactless, inconsiderate and uncaring.

Interesting video. The fact that his body is so buff (for a "feeble" scholar) means that other than reading he works out a lot during his free time. 😄

i agree with kaveh that mutual assistance, fairness and righteous anger drives the world. although the concept of “the fittest survives” is something i agree with too. life is a combination of those things.

Alhaitham is basically the auditor for Sumeru, he validates the scholars' work before they enter the permanent record. Sloppy scholars have much to fear from him.

There's more interaction between Kaveh and Alhaitham on the notice board on the Sumeru City dock and the food seller in the Grand Bazaar. Alhaitham asks the Lambard tavern where the ten cases of wine he ordered are. The tavern replies that they were picked up by a blond man who says he's his roommate and who had come to the tavern with him before. Alhaitham replies "...Alright. I get it". The food seller in the Grand Bazaar mentions a tall man who he thinks is a Mahamatra buying a case of wine as an apology, which is probably Kaveh. The food seller also says that his wine is pretty cheap, which is why students like to buy from him. Kaveh pinched ten cases of wine from Alhaitham and replaced it with one cheap case, which is pretty hilarious. I don't think Alhaitham is as heartless as most people are thinking. For a man who loves his home as much as he does, he offered it to his friend. And Kaveh sounds like a terrible roommate. Alhaitham's voice lines mention that he might need to sleep with noise filtering headset on because Kevah is hammering stuff in the middle of the night... that's a terrible roommate 😅 If Kevah really wanted to leave as well, I'm sure Dori would help but he hasn't really made much of an effort, which Alhaitham pointed out in their interaction in game. I think also that Alhaitham is a little concerned that his friend who already is in trouble with money, is getting more trouble with money because he's impulsive. He's right, because Kaveh is terrible with money and makes very poor impulsive decisions. Him stealing the cases of wine is a case in point. I feel like Alhaitham has a personality where he's very easily misunderstood and he probably prefers books to people. Does he like winding up Kaveh? Yes. Is it easy to wind up Kaveh? Also yes 😅 But he does seem to genuinely care for his friend enough to make sure he isn't homeless. I love them both and think their bickering is hilarious. There isn't the same undercurrent in their fighting as there is with Diluc and Kaeya. Diluc and Kaeya have a whole lot of baggage. There's a lot of grief and betrayal going on there. Alhaitham and Kevar don't seem to have that backstory. They're just old friends who probably would be closer if they weren't living together.

"more pent-up frustation than an angry Anemo Slime" Kaveh, you all right bro?

I kinda see Alhaitham and Kaveh as Zekrom and Reshiram clashing lol Like as if one is more robotic and the other is more humane

He could sometimes be at his home or in the library or.. In GYM, to train his MUSCLES.. for educational purposes of course..

The interaction between him and Kaveh is the best lmao. Can't wait to see them interact more

He is more than just a scribe. Currently he is the acting Grand Sage.

This is not related to the video but here is the music used in the video I believe if people want to check it out 1. Innocent Age (0:05-1:18 & 2:48-4:02 & 5:32-6:21) 2. The Lunar-Eclipsing Palace (1:19-2:47 & 4:03-5:31) They can be found in The Shimmering Voyage album

The def of “a strong mind reside in a strong body”

Alhaitham is also quite right when he said to try their luck on the seas. He basically offers them a logical option to find where their skills might be needed outside rather than staying in Sumeru. It's high risk but might give a long term solution. Kaveh is kind and gives them financial help straight away. It's a short term solution. Most people would probably prefer Kaveh's help irl. But remember that he poses problems to another, Alhaitham. He loaned money to him because of his selfless attitude. Alhaitham is still considered kind enough to let him stay for a long time. Imo, they're both good people but 'difficult' in a way.

My dude used his irminsul sized brain just so he can save his job, the salary and keep it going as he wanted to, but now he has to work as an acting grand sage... Suffering from success

the irony of cyno being one of the only ones out of all people to talk positively about alhaitham, even tho he is also the only one to actually physically fight him

He’s the left brain from the Bo Burnham song (and Kaveh is the right brain)

Im here just consuming anything I can to know all abt Alhaitham. I can't wait to get him

As a long term fan, just wanted to say that great job for being consistent so far! The quality of your videos are superb as always, but remember to take breaks as well. ☺️

Truly, Alhaitham and Kaveh are the left and right brain of Sumeru.

I love Kaveh now, his personality seems so relatable

Kaveh and alhaitham is like when my right brain and left having an argument

Kaveh seems a lot more wise now that I've seen this. The archon quest made him seem like a bumbling fool, but now I just see it's simply because he dislikes Alhaitham and the constant stress he provides. I knew Alhaitham was excessively objective, but I didn't know he was that cold.

I think I relate to Kaveh then

3:37 Ok, it’s official I love Kaveh. I’m getting him 😭

Thank you for this. I didnot that about kaveh. Now i want him too. Nice vid.

Great video as always :D! Just wanted to point out just in case, in the description, I think the first line should instead be "... about Alhaitham before *he* is playable."

If only this man could come home

I've always heard (and read) that a lot of highly intelligent people lack common sense and Alhaitham strikes me as one of those people 😂 still love my man tho

What a great video! I see a lot of effort put into it and it was actually REALLY pleasant to watch💛

Each time you expand my knowledge of the plot of the game a little. Thank you for that :)

What's with the little green gem between his collarbones? At first I thought he's an automaton like katheryne..

I couldn’t help but notice how Alhaitham told Kaveh that him giving failures money was meaningless, and so on, and that he was doing it to be a "goody-two-shoes"..but here HE is, giving someone in debt money (Kaveh). I thought those things were meaningless?? 🤔 (I believe Alhaitham has a heart. It's just buried under all that rationality 😌).

I see Alhaitham, I double click 😂

Tyvm for this. I actually like Kaveh more after seeing your lore of him.

it probably won't come for a long while if ever but he's one of the characters i'd love to see character development for

I could've sworn the archon quest dialogue said that Alhaitham is Kaveh's senior, not the other way around but I dunno for sure

I just realized they never emphasized on the whole “knowledge is a resource” in the whole storyline

So being a scribe is a bit like back seating. Id like that

Now I feel sad about kaveh

Just a question, how do you find out this much info about upcoming characters? Do you just dig that deep across many voicelines and stories? Great video as always!

I will pull for him, just because of this video. Thanks for the last push.

Thank you I just got alhaithem on a one pull! I also got Yao Yao on my first too!

Although Kaveh and Alhaitham fight a lot in Alhaithams story 4 he also sees Kaveh as "excellent mirror" and thinks he can exspend his human vision and wisdom from being around someone that looks at things from opposide side. basically what Kaveh is what Alhaitham is not

i love alhaitham but kaveh just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter

Gosh I wish I can have a job similar to his

Yay! The Haitham!

Thanks to this video, now I kinda hate and love him at the same time... and come to think of it, he's a normal person after all. Nothing is perfect and he's still have weaknesses and his intelligence as greatest his strength... In the archon quest, Kaveh was kinda portrayed as a jerk(obviously because he's talking to Alhaitham after all lol)...but he is very considerate towards others unlike that actual jerk; Alhaitham😂 now I want both Alhaitham and Kaveh not gonna lie if Alhaitham sucks at 'feeling', then will perhaps Kaveh sucks at 'logic'? or balanced between those two and could act accordingly like a true normal person would? we'll see...

CatWithBlueHat. Can you do a lore dive on King Deshret's ruins? Lore from Golden Slumber and Dual Assignments. I dont know all the purpose of the running around and trials. I.E - What is the purpose of the Pyramid manipulating the skies? To create a perpetual sandstorm to cover up something?

Alhaitham is kinda cruel but damn bro kaveh is so sweet

Where does his earphone cable goes to?

ngl this makes me wonder more why alhaitham lets kaveh live with him. Even if kaveh is paying rent, alhaitham talks about how he dislikes how noisy kaveh is. It would seem unlogical to have him around.

I LOVE HUM GRMRIDIRR

i want that job

another reason why kaveh is a W

There's also this theory where Alhaitham is the scarlet king, can you see more to it? 😋

3:46 I have read the same thing about Nikola Tesla with this. For all the pure efforts he has done for humanity, there's a rumor that he dislikes helping illed people because he belived that the nature itself wants to eliminate them.

I curious, if Lisa and Alhaitham know each other. Or they have some kinda dialog about them, cus they are from Sumeru Akademia

I'm sad to see that none of you people point out the possible W references - His color is green - He likes reading and knowledge - He acts on rationality alone - He gets a Gaia Library reference in his trailer - He has a roommate who acts on emotions, his polar opposite How the hell do people still not notice that he's a big Philip reference? My only gripe is that Kaveh is not electro, otherwise they would've been the perfect W

Kavek is a chad I'm gonna pull for him instead of the virgin Alhaizam

actually Alhaitham owns a home because of his joint research during the time as a student along with Kaveh who was part of it. The Akademiya rewarded them a house for the successful research which Kaveh chose not to accept but Alahaitham did. So it haves nothing to do with his job as Scribe.

The Alhaitham and Kaveh relationship (enemies, friends, lovers???) is probably my favorite interaction between characters yet!

What's the music from the beginning - 1:18??

Everytime i see Kaveh, it makes me wonder what is his vision, how his skill works, and will he ever be playable.. Just like Baizhu who still isn't playable, i wonder how their skill works.. Baizhu will obviously be a medic healer.. But kaveh, idk, perhaps support..

The dude has the qualification to become a grand sage but he likes the scribe position more

Came simping for haitham leaving simping for kaveh

A M A Z I N G V I D

05:03 IsVenti also filled with frustration?

He reminds me of Kakashi from Naruto. A genius, abit anti-social, didn't want responsibilities, and a total bookworm

nothing would be funnier to me than us thinking alhaitham is reading something very very complex and it turn out to be middle school science

So where is number 1 to 30?

What is the music in this vid called, it's so gud

Head Canon: Reason why Alhaitham wanted to help out is because he just wanted to get back to his cushy house life and job.

Ost tittle?

Where do we learn that Kaveh is Alhaithams senior?

So Alhaitham is just a robot

Everyone hating on Al haitham is cringe and feelingspilled. Al haitham has a based philosophy of science. Kaveh is still a sweetie tho.

Hi

I don't like Alhaithams way of thinking as well, I agreed with Kaveh however...

I agree with how Nahida and Kaveh disagrees with Al Haitham, though he sees things objectively how could he grapple with complexity relating to human emotions. In my opinion he’s one step closer to being the former grand sage Azar who literally did not care about the people of Sumeru, but he did not. BUT the only thing stopping him is because he doesn’t have that desire to be the greatest and only wants a quiet life, but what if he did?

I might be the only one but the constant bickering between Kaveh and Alhaitham is fun for only a minute, then it gets really annoying 😂 I like Alhaitham, but he can be a complete jerk and gets on my nerves.

dendro daddy is the best daddy

he kinda have that sigma male personality.

He's still lower than Lisa, who is renown for being the best in 200 years

is this 30?

Hey , i think you have written before 'she ' becomes playable.

KAVEH IS SO SWEET OMG

Alhaitham you jerk, I am on your side Kaveh.

So he's an INTJ?

how old are the roommates 😳

I’m getting major Spock vibes from Alhaitham…makes me wonder if Kaveh is gonna be the overacting ham of a ladies man Kirk was.

Hmm… interesting… I think I finally figured out the reason why Alhaitham’s caught my eye since his initial reveal in 3.0 He’s someone who runs purely on rationality, meaning he’s an extremely practical person who speaks straightforwardly and doesn’t beat around the bush. The type of person that I appreciate interacting with because I prefer dealing with cold hard facts over roundabout talk. Someone who I won’t have to constantly keep in touch with to maintain a good relationship with, so long as the last impression left with him wasn’t bad. What an ideal acquaintance to have… too bad he only exists in a fictional setting 😔 P.S. Only con would be his lack of empathy due to his rationality, but for some reason, knowing that gives me the urge to seek him out just to bother him and drag him out to experience more of the world outside his books. Which I would probably never do in real life cause I’m an extreme introvert 😅

Thanks for the video now I'm an Alhaitham hater. Cause now he reminds me of politicians who say teachers should start their business if they're complaining about their small wage, also of that secretary that's always absent/on break when you need them, also I think he would support AI art💔 Edit: im not reading replies but it was a /j btw

Tighnari's VA sucks

i think he is boring character

Cat tempting me to pull for Alhaitham with lore 🫣
