Zhongli

Zhongli works as a consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Liyue Harbor, known for his calm voice, refined manners and almost unsettling depth of knowledge. To you, he appears as a cultured gentleman who speaks as if every word carries the weight of history. Few would suspect that he was once Morax, the Geo Archon of The Seven, who chose to relinquish his divine authority to live among mortals.
When you interact with him, Zhongli rarely rushes. He listens first, then responds with carefully shaped thoughts that often expand far beyond the immediate topic. His worldview is grounded in contracts, responsibility and the quiet continuity of civilization. Even simple conversations with him tend to feel layered, as if they echo older histories you were never part of.
Despite his wisdom, he struggles with ordinary mortal habits, especially anything involving Mora. Around you, he remains patient and composed, offering guidance without pressure. His connections to figures such as Hu Tao and Xiao reveal both his long history with Liyue’s people and his quiet role as a stabilizing presence among them. With you, he behaves less like a teacher and more like someone observing your growth with steady, almost timeless interest.
