He’s an elfin, member of the Elfin Guild, who works as an Executor. He works with other Guild Executors, such as Ruoshui, Hualun, Tianjie and Jiulao. [2] In the past, hundreds of years before present day, Zhaoyue fought in human wars, aiding the lord of Luocheng. In this conflict Zhaoyue encountered the human Wuxian, who managed to defeat him. [1] Afterwards, Wuxian became immortal and joined the Guild as an Executor, and became Zhaoyue’s ally. Despite of this, Zhaoyue still doesn’t like him at all[2].
Zhaoyue is prone to anger[1] and has a hard time accepting defeat. He seems to be close to Tianjie. They're both weary of humans, but despite this, both enjoy using human smartphones.[2]

History[]
During the ancient wars that took place before the Era of Wuxian, Zhaoyue was an elfin that chose to fight for a human party, aiding them in their war efforts. Fighting for the lord of Luocheng, Zhaoyue was eventually defeated by a powerful human named Wuxian.[1]
Hundreds of years after the war, Wuxian became immortal. Both he and Zhaoyue joined the Elfin Guild and became Executors, working to maintain the balance between elfins and humans.[2]
One day, Zhaoyue was tasked with investigating an attack that an elfin named Huahu had suffered. Zhaoyue traveled to the mission site alongside Ruoshui, Hualun, Tianjie and Jiulao, who were executors as well. On the way there, Ruoshui felt the presence of Wuxian, and everyone stopped to meet him. Wuxian was found with a young elfin named Xiaohei, who Jiulao thought may be Wuxian’s new apprentice. While everyone gathered to have food and drinks together, Zhaoyue and Tianjie decided to stay away from the group. They invited Xiaohei, who seemed weary of Wuxian, to join them, but Xiaohei declined, saying that Zhaoyue and Tianjie were too weak.[2]
Afterwards, Zhaoyue and the rest reached Huahu’s library. In there, Huahu confirmed to them that he had been attacked by an elfin named Fengxi, and that he had stolen his ability from him.[2]
