Zenith is the leader of the Infernal Cult in Pokémon Insurgence.

In the game

Zenith is first encountered in Utira Library, masquerading as Zachary, a librarian, so he could hear the oracle's prophecy. Later he is encountered in Fiery Caverns while rejoicing to one of his cultists about what the prophecy meant. Nora and the Player arrive, and Zenith reveals he was Zachary. After his defeat he explains he had already captured Groudon a long time ago. He and his cultists then vanish.

The next encounter with Zenith is in Oranos Town where Zenith - disguised as Zachary - gives a monologue to convince the people of the town to take vaccines which he claims will prevent people from being infected by a virus (which infected Malde and Damian). He kindly asks the townspeople to report to him and his staff if anyone does not want the vaccine. The Player goes to the repurposed storage facility where Zenith's staff is handing out the vaccines and collecting blood samples of different people. At the back room, Zenith tells Mrs Williams that it is likely that she contracted the virus. He blackmails her into getting the vaccine. Mrs Williams leaves the room and Zenith talks briefly before calling her back in. She turns out to be brainwashed and battles the Player.

Pokémon

In addition to the Pokémon below, Zenith is confirmed to possess Groudon, which he caught before the events at the beginning of the game.
