Mockingbird
Last updated 2026-08-28
Mockingbird is a faction in Zenless Zone Zero. They are a notorious phantom thief syndicate in New Eridu.
Overview
Mockingbird is an infamous syndicate of phantom thieves that perform criminals acts in the sake of justice, each one to bring light to the corrupt and evil, exposing their deeds and bringing fairness to the world.
Mockingbird first took flight after the passing of an old phantom thief named Jack. His two proteges: Von Lycaon and Hugo Vlad decided to continue his legacy by going on mission like they did with their master. Hugo suggested the name 'Mockingbird' in reference to how the species of bird blending in by mimicking the sounds of others, much like how they donned roles when on missions, but he also wanted it to become a symbol, like the Sword of Damocles, striking fear into the rich and cruel of the world. Lycaon agreed to this idea, on the basis they wouldn't kill.[1]
History
Mockingbird's notoriety reached a point when Mayor Mayflower extended an olive branch to the syndicate, which Lycaon later accepted when an incident led him to believe Hugo had broken the oath, by taking his revenge on his father and killing innocent civilians in the process.[2]
The phantom thief syndicate would return to the limelight after Hugo met Vivian Banshee, a young girl who he took under his wing and trained her to be a thief like him.[3] Mockingbird's newfound fame had many civilians of New Eridu wishing to join Mockingbird, including Lilac who nearly fell into the clutches of a group of thugs ironically imitating Mockingbird, who was later saved by her hired attendant, who just so happened to be the former co-founder, Von Lycaon.[4]
