Delphine Eraclea

'''"I alone should possess the truth that wanders the Grand Stream. No one must ever see it."

- Delphine '''

Maestro Delphine (Delphine Eraclea) is the primary antagonist and conflict in the Last Exilemanga/anime series. She is head of the Guild, an organization that controls the knowledge of Prester.

Delphine is portrayed as a decadent aristocrat, callous and ruthless in her ways.

Description
Delphine possesses a veritable arsenal of psychological weapons she uses so very easily, which would explain why Dio is so very afraid of her. She is truly heartless when it comes to the guild, and takes great delight in the wastefulness that her people go through to attain and prepare meals, such as Kerasion Mousse, which is rarely harvested because the harvesters most likely froze to death, and catfish which took 100 gallons of First Water to remove mud from. During the Trial of Agoon, she demonstrated an ability to restore the dead to life; everyone who died in the Trial was seen scampering to her feet as she said "I have renewed your lives."

It is unknown whether she has any real combative power of her own. Due to her impossibly immense oppressive influence, she really only needs her truly loyal subordinates to do her work, namely Cicada and his attack force. She does possess golden rings that have the ability to turn people into golden shards or ashes. They seem to turn you into ash if you're a bad person and pretty shards if you're a good person.

History
A run-in between her and Alex Row in the past has left her the sole target of his vengeance, and one of his only goals is to personally kill Delphine.
