โ€œOh, dear soldiers! Please do not harm old Zhi here!โ€

Campaign[]

Zhi first appears as the antagonist Mysterious Monk in the scenario From Below where he is seen performing rituals on Mysterious Holes. After Jiao-Long and Shun stop him, he introduces himself and reveals that the holes belong to Dilong, the Earth Dragon, and he was performing the ritual to summon Dilong for Danzhu. Jiao-Long and Shun then offer Zhi protection against Danzhu, he accepts to join them and then proceeds to summon Dilong for them instead. Zhi afterwards follows Jiao-Long throughout the remainder of his journey to restore Yin and Yang.

Trivia[]

  • Zhi and Jiao-Long are the only characters in Tale of the Dragon that are not based on historical or mythological Chinese characters.
  • Zhi has the same stat distribution as Setna.
  • Due to an oversight, Athena will not announce "A hero has fallen." if Zhi is defeated in battle even though he can be revived.
