Based on the presented pieces of evidence, there is a possibility the other figure is the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, Barbatos. In Biography of Gunnhildr, she mentioned Barbatos probably would likely tour the land as a bard after departing from Mondstadt (Gunnhildr, 2016). Then The Legend of Vennessa tells the story of Vennessa, who helped a bard that turned out to be Barbatos. Vennessa also often referred to the Anemo Archon as 'The Bard' in her diary (Edith, 2017). Various folklore of Mondstadt also often depicts Barbatos as a bard, a painter, or a singer (Edith, 2015).

There are many mentions of Barbatos and Morax being good friends ever since their first meeting at the Seven's Coronation (Gunnhildr, 2018). In one instance, Barbatos helped Morax and his adepti drove a god who went berserk out of Teyvat (Zhongli, 2019). In another example, Morax allowed Barbatos to forge his signature so Barbatos could expel the corrupted aristocrats that took over Mondstadt before Vennessa's Rebellion (Edith, 2017 & Gunnhildr, 2018). The Stone Gate was also said to be built as a sign of trust between the two archons (Edith, 2017).
But the most concrete evidence is that there is a mention in Rex Incognito about Morax meeting 'a bard from the northeast' before the next chapter tells a story about him and the Anemo Archon (Chenqiu, 2020). Vennessa's diary also reveals that the Anemo Archon loves to sing a song from where lilies grew in the East. This place is presumably Qingce Village because Glaze Lillies can only be found in that village in the wild (Edith, 2017 & Flora, 2019).

Unlike the other nations, Liyue and Mondstadt's bilateral remains constant throughout the history of Teyvat. As a result, their long alliance has influenced each other's culture. For example, several villages in Liyue that depend on sailing as their livelihood worship the Anemo Archon instead of the Geo Archon. Another example is the structure of Knights of Favonius is modeled after the ranks of the Millelith. They also share some similar folksong or have folksong that references each other's nation, like Qingce Love Song (Fadhlan, 2003; Morton, 2015; Edith, 2017; Gunnhildr, 2018).
There are many factors played into this. Morton (2015) and Gunnhildr (2018) argue there are two big reasons. One, the close geographic location between Liyue and Mondstadt makes it easy for them to trade. Two, the two nations used to use political marriages to strengthen their alliance. But perhaps there is another reason besides that. Qingce Love Song infers that the two archons share a relationship beyond friendship. It was a bit ironic because Gunnhildr (2018), in his studies, finds that despite the long relationship between Liyue and Mondstadt, there lies a deep-rooted issue between the two citizens due to their different views on their archons.
