He first appears in the Archon Quests Chapter I: Act II - Farewell, the Archaic Lord. He is later revealed to be the current vessel of the Geo Archon, Morax, who has decided to experience the world from the perspective of a mortal. After giving up his Gnosis, he retires from his position as an Archon and returns to his former identity as an Adeptus, although still under the guise of being a human. He currently works as a consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

	Dominus Lapidis	Elemental Skill
Every mountain, rock, and inch of land is filled with the power of Geo, but those who can wield such powers freely are few and far between. Press: Commands the omnipresent power of the earth to solidify into a Stone Stele, standing 30 seconds, dealing AoE Geo DMG at the creation. Hold: Causes nearby Geo energy to explode, causing the following effects: If their maximum number hasn't been reached, creates a Stone Stele. Creates a shield of jade. The shield's DMG Absorption scales based on Zhongli's Max HP. Possesses 150% DMG Absorption against all Elemental and Physical DMG. Deals AoE Geo DMG. If there are nearby targets with the Geo element, it will drain a large amount of Geo element from a maximum of 2 such targets. This effect does not cause DMG. Stone Stele: When created, deals AoE Geo DMG. Additionally, every 2 seconds, it will resonate with other nearby Geo Constructs, dealing Geo DMG to surrounding opponents. Stele creation and Resonance generate 0.5 elemental particles. The Stone Stele is considered a Geo Construct that can both be climbed and used to block attacks. Only one Stele created by Zhongli himself may initially exist at any one time. Jade Shield: Possesses 150% DMG Absorption against all Elemental and Physical DMG. Characters protected by the Jade Shield will decrease the Elemental RES and Physical RES of opponents in a small AoE by 20%. This effect cannot be stacked. During Holding Mode, Zhongli's Interruption Resistance is greatly increased. Stele creation and Resonance generate 0.5 elemental particles when hit at least 1 enemy. All simultaneous resonance are counted together for the energy generation. If multiple simultaneous resonances hit a single enemy within a very short timespan , it will have a 50% chance to generate 1 elemental particle in total. It has to hit multiple enemies for a chance to generate more elemental particles. Multiple nearby Stone Steles will resonate with each other. However, other Geo Constructs can take resonance from multiple nearby Stone Steles. The Stone Stele's horizontal resonance range (the radius) with other Geo Constructs is about twice the size of the Stele's AoE Geo DMG pulse range. The resonance range is also slightly less than the range of Albedo's Abiogenesis: Solar Isotoma. The vertical resonance range is about 50% of the Stele's height counted from the bottom to the top of the Stele. The Stele will scan for new nearby Geo Constructs just before the resonance tick. A maximum of 3 Geo Constructs is allowed on the field between all players. If another player places a Geo construct after the limit has been reached, the oldest Geo construct will be replaced first. Geo Constructs created from Wake of Earth do not contribute to this cap. Zhongli's first Passive Talent, Resonant Waves, fortifies characters shielded by the Jade Shield whenever it takes damage. Fortified characters gain 5% increased Shield Strength. This effect stacks up to 5 times, and lasts until the Jade Shield disappears. Zhongli's second Passive Talent, Dominance of Earth, increases Stone Stele, resonance, and hold DMG by 1.9% of his Max HP. Additional effects from Constellations: Constellation 1 (Rock, the Backbone of Earth): Increases the number of Zhongli's Stone Steles that can exist simultaneously to 2. If the limit has been reached, using the skill's press effect replaces the older Stone Stele first. Constellation 3 (Jade, Shimmering through Darkness): Increases Dominus Lapidis' current level by 3 and raises the talent maximum level to 15. Constellation 6 (Chrysos, Bounty of Dominator): When the Jade Shield takes DMG, 40% of that incoming DMG is converted to HP for the current character. A single instance of regeneration cannot exceed 8% of the current character's Max HP. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Stone Stele/Resonance DMG 16/32 17.2/34.4 18.4/36.8 20/40 21.2/42.4 22.4/44.8 24/48 25.6/51.2 27.2/54.4 28.8/57.6 30.4/60.8 32/64 34/68 Press CD 4s Hold DMG 80 86 92 100 106 112 120 128 136 144 152 160 170 Shield Base Absorption 1232 1355 1489 1633 1787 1951 2126 2310 2506 2711 2927 3153 3389 Additional Shield Absorption 12.8 Max HP 13.76 Max HP 14.72 Max HP 16 Max HP 16.96 Max HP 17.92 Max HP 19.2 Max HP 20.48 Max HP 21.76 Max HP 23.04 Max HP 24.32 Max HP 25.6 Max HP 27.2 Max HP Shield Duration 20s CD (hold) 12s Media:Talent Dominus Lapidis Press.ogv Press Media:Talent Dominus Lapidis Hold.ogv Hold Media:Talent Dominus Lapidis Resonance.ogv Maximum range of Geo Resonance
	Planet Befall	Elemental Burst
Brings a falling meteor down to earth, dealing massive Geo DMG to opponents caught in its AoE and applying the Petrification status to them. Petrification: Opponents affected by the Petrification status cannot move.
