Who is Elder Jinchi and what is his role in the classic Journey To The West

Elder Jinchi is the former abbot of Guanyin Monastery, a character from Journey to the West.

With empty hands, he preached, yet gold was his quest,
He left no wealth, just doctrines to attest.
A life of greed, his doom was sealed tight,
If deeds were weighed, would he still face his plight?

In the original work When Tang Sanzang and his disciples visit the monastery, Elder Jinchi, consumed by greed for Tang Sanzang's precious cassock, devises a wicked plan to burn them alive. However, his plot is foiled by Sun Wukong, who sees through the deception. In the chaos, the cassock is stolen by the Black Bear Demon and Guanyin Monastery is reduced to ashes.
