History

Zhou Cheng was the host for Ch'i-Lin. He was originally selected as a host in the 1800s, or possibly even before, and was responsible for the death of Kwai Jun-Fan. He hunted and killed all the individuals known as Iron Fist since then (except Orson Randall who went into hiding when they turned 33) for the sake of using their chi to reach the egg of Shou-Lao to stop its endless cycle of reincarnation and destroy the Iron Fist Chi forever. As predicated, after Danny Rand's thirty-third birthday, he began hunting him too. He nearly managed to kill Danny in their first encounter, but Danny was saved by Luke Cage and Misty Knight. Shortly afterwards, he drugged Danny and attempted to kill him again. While preparing to murder the Iron Fist, Zhou Cheng mocked him, and Danny gathered all his anger and punched through his throat, killing him. His body then burned away into a charred skeleton.[1]
