Zenyatta is an omnic monk who wanders the world in search of spiritual enlightenment, helping those he meets to overcome their personal struggles and find inner peace. It is said that those who cross his path are never the same again. He believes that by forming people into relationships, the world can be healed, and a better society created. However, Zenyatta is not a pacifist, and when necessary, he will fight to protect the innocent, be they omnic or human.

The orbs Zenyatta uses were hand-carved at the Shambali monastary and serve as a means to channel omnic energy. Zenyatta does not know who, exactly, created them, and their function is a mystery; while seemingly magical, in Zenyatta's words, "what seems like magic is sometimes science we don't yet understand." Similarly, Zenyatta is able to levitate without repulsors, an ability he has attributed to the Iris.

Zenyatta believes that as long as free will exists, there will always be evil in the world, yet to deny free will would also be evil. He has the ability to dream.

Zenyatta found humans' manner of speech perplexing at first, having little grasp of metaphors. He still occasionally struggles with their figures of speech.

Like all Shambali, despite being unable to eat, Zenyatta knows how to prepare food. He likes being near the coast, as it reminds him of where he was constructed.

Zenyatta was constructed before the Omnic Crisis, constructed on/near the coast. When asked what he did before the war, Zenyatta claimed to have served coffee, collect payments at a laser tag arena, act as a water park lifeguard, and be a tractor driver. Whether this is true or not is something Zenyatta has always refused to divulge. He has stated that his memories before the Awakening are blurry.

After the Crisis, Zenyatta was recruited into the Shambali by Ramattra, who hoped that Zenyatta could find purpose with the Shambali as he had. The two became "as close as brothers," and spent years discussing the problems facing omnics, including the injustices being committed by humans. The two sat up at night counting stars, wondering how many omnics were doing the same. At some point, however, Ramattra committed an action that nearly resulted in Zenyatta's death. After Ramattra founded Null Sector, he and Zenyatta ceased all contact.

After the fall of Overwatch, while still with the Shambali, Zenyatta encountered Genji, who had left Overwatch and was conflicted with his nature as a cyborg. Though Genji initially rejected Zenyatta's wisdom, the benevolent omnic would not be deterred. In time, Zenyatta became his mentor, and under the monk's tutelage, Genji reconciled his dual existence as both man and machine, as Zenyatta helped his student see both his trials and his cybernetic form as a unique strength.

Zenyatta would later consider Genji to be one of his brightest pupils. After Genji left his tutelage, Zenyatta began to see the limits of the Shambali path. He believed that the way to repair the problems between humans and omnics was not through dogmatic teaching but through interpersonal connection and engagement.

Ultimately, Zenyatta followed his own path. He chose to leave the monastery and wander the world, helping those he meets to overcome their personal struggles and find inner peace.

Zenyatta was on pilgrimige in Suravasa, intending to reflect on Mondatta's teachings, when the Vishkar Corporation's ground breaking caused a tremor that destroyed the statue of Aurora in a temple. Later, inside the temple, he met with Vishkar agent Satya Vaswani, who'd come on Vishkar's behalf. He told her that it was good that Vishkar was taking responsibility for the damage they'd caused, but it would mean nothing if the help they provided wasn't constructive. He offered her lodging at the temple so that she may better understand the community and the temple's faith. She agreed to stay, and he guided her through the temple, also informing her about Aurora's history.

Zenyatta greeted Vaswani the next morning, noting that she had put on a temple robe. She stated that while she had not come as a pilgrim, she was sincere in her efforts to provide recompense; an intention that Zenyatta had never doubted. Days passed before Zenyatta gave her the Orb of Perception, and told her to study it. On the fourth day, she watched Zenyatta and the other omnic priests prepare food for anyone in the village who was hungry. Noting the angry whispers directed at Vaswani, served her food himself, as a gesture of silent support. Later in the evening, after meditation on the orbs had finished, Zenyatta asked Vaswani to stay behind, asking her for her thoughts on the day's events. The conversation turned to her role as a hard-light architech. At the end of their conversation, Vaswani stated that she now knew what she had to do.

A week after Vaswani's arrival, she and Zenyatta walked into the temple's courtyard, where they met with Sarpanch Ranesh Grewal, along with a crowd of priests, pilgrims, villagers, and Vishkar personnel. She revealed that she had used hard-light to fix the shrine, giving it a new luminescence. After the event, she met with Zenyatta outside, who gave her incense as a parting gift, telling her that she was always welcome. To Sanjay Korpal of Vishkar, he stated "every dawn brings a new chance to choose our paths. I hope Vishkar Corporation see.
