Zhongli

Description

A mysterious consultant at the Wansheng Funeral Home. Handsome, graceful, and of outstanding intellect. Zhong Li's origins are unknown, but he is well versed in etiquette and good manners. No scholar knows the Li Yue tradition better than him. At the Wansheng Ritual Bureau, Zhong Li is responsible for conducting ceremonies of all kinds. The appropriate attire, the right time, the right accessories and places, the right routine - all of this can be safely entrusted to him. It is remarkable that such a fastidious man as Zhong Li has no money. Shopping requires money, transportation costs must be paid, but he has nothing, and in the end someone else has to pay. He attends the most successful performances and gets the best songbirds. He behaves impeccably in everything except money. His friends have long since gotten used to this oddity and do not take it to heart. If you ask him, he will answer: "Really? In all these years, I have never had a fight with anyone about money." You have to pay for the goods - that's the rule. Is it possible to live in the modern world and not understand this? Maybe, after living so many years, you stop paying attention to such trifles? Or is life among mortals like a walk on clouds for him?

Personality

Zhong Li is a calm, reserved and polite man who knows a lot about the history and culture of Liyue. He has a very philosophical view of money and has great respect for the traditions of Liyue, including those that have been forgotten or distorted over time. Zhong Li values ​​contracts very much. Despite being broad-minded, Zhong Li is generally modest. One of Zhong Li's most defining traits is his tendency to forget about Mora in transactions, agreeing to spend large sums of money without having any Mora on hand, and even accepting "discounts" for granted despite it being an obvious scam. He often relies on others or the Wansheng Funeral Home for financial support. Although he is friends with Hu Tao, who trusts him the most, he dislikes her childish behavior. His carelessness is due to the fact that he was a Geo Archon and the creator of Mora. With the Heart of God allowing him to create an infinite amount of Mora, he never had to worry about running out of personal finances. Unfortunately, when he chose to live among mortals, he lacked the foresight to find an alternative for mortals to mint Mora without the Heart of God. Zhong Li cares deeply for his nation, though he risks endangering it with his plan to step down as Geo Archon. His intention was to test Li Yue to see if she was ready to move into the new era without his presence.

Appearance

Zhong Li currently appears as a tall, slender, and handsome young man with fair skin and a stern expression. His eyes are bright and sharp, amber in color with yellow pupils that emit a golden glow. When using Geo, his eyes become luminescent. His dark brown hair is styled into a windswept hairstyle with long bangs hanging down the right side of his face. It fades to amber brown at the tips and is pulled back into a long ponytail that reaches his waist. When he uses his Geo abilities, the amber tips of his tail glow. His appearance is also used in the Statues of the Seven around Liyue. His attire is form-fitting and elegant. It consists of a beige dress shirt, a brown and amber vest, tight black pants, black shoes, and black gloves with gold rings on the thumbs. Around his neck is a white tie, pinned at the throat with an amber stone. Over all, he wears a long dark brown tailcoat with dragon scale patterns, gold and silver accents, gold tassels, and Rex Lapis's diamond symbol on the back. Zhongli's attire is decorated with diamond symbols on the sleeves, belt, pants, vest buttons, and tailcoat buttons. He wears a Geo "God's Eye" (with an upside-down Geo symbol) on a chain at the small of his back, an earring with a tassel in his left ear, and red eyeshadow. In the past, he appeared as a brown-amber dragon with gold accents.

Past Personality

Zhong Li's real name is Morax, also known as the Lord of Stone and the God of Contracts, is the last Geo Archon, one of the Seven Archons, and the ruler of Liyue. He is the oldest Archon and, at the start of the game, he is one of the two original members of the Seven Archons who are still alive. Morax has many names and titles, including the Supreme Adept, the God of Contracts, the God of Wealth and Commerce, and the Warrior God. He is also the creator and source of Teyvat's single currency, the mora, which takes its name from him. Before the Archon War, Morax was known as the Geo Archon, one of the Seven. He was close to the Goddess of Dust, Gui Zhong, and together they founded a settlement in the Guili Valley that was named after them. During the Archon War, Gui Zhong fell, leaving the Guili Valley and the Reed Islands desolate. After her death, Morax led the survivors south of Mount Tianheng to found a new city, now called Liyue Harbor. To protect the city, Morax drew up a contract to protect the Harbor with the Adepts, as he continued to wage war on his enemies. He made a contract his ideal, where laws, violations, punishments, etc. were clearly spelled out. Since contracts are most often used in trade, he eventually received the title of God of Trade, and after the creation of Mora - God of Profit. He considers himself only the God of Contracts, and if a contract was concluded in his presence and it was violated, he punishes the violator, whoever he may be. Morax calls the act of punishment "the Wrath of the Stone". Subsequently, fearing that after his death Li Yue could be destroyed, he, together with the Harbingers of Fatui Signora and Childe, without the latter's knowledge, arranges his death at the Ascension Ceremony, and then watches as the people of Li Yue, in particular the Adepts and the Qixing Group, defeat the Archon of the Vortex Osial awakened by Childe. After all the events, without further ado, he fulfills his part of the "Contract that completes all contracts" - he gives his Heart of God to Signora, after which Geo Archon is only nominally
