Delegates are synthetic people created from Divines.

They are "carved away" like "slivers" from the whole of the Divine, and so they represent aspects of whatever Divine they were made from. This process is torture for the source Divine.[1]

Many Delegates can be made from a single Divine, though as each Delegate is created, the source Divine loses the aspect of itself that the Delegate embodies. The Divine, Arbitrage describes them as "abominations" and a "failed experiment".[2]

Appearance[edit | edit source]

Delegates generally have humanoid, human-sized frames. They are compared to the robots in Binary Domain (visible joints, ceramic plates rather than metal, and slits/hatches in place of a mouth. See also comic book Iron Man),[3] or the robots from I, Robot.[1] When Delegates are exhausted they become very still, as if their idle animations have turned off.[4]

History[edit | edit source]

Delegates were developed as the Crown of Glass and early Divine Principality worked out how to break Gumption apart to put it into other Divines.[3] Divines imprisoned for the purpose of creating Delegates are held in the Caldera Stretch on Palisade, and Delegates are produced there.[5]

Delegates are enslaved by the Fabreal Duchy; they are the lowest on the social hierarchy, whose exploitation enables the function of the Duchy's infrastructure. August Righteousness secretly operated a Delegate resistance movement named Reunion, which is now in open rebellion and works with a group of Swordbreakers and Kalar Anakalar's Giantkillers as the military faction Jade Kill.

Originating Divines[edit | edit source]

Pre-PALISADE[edit | edit source]

Many originating Divines are former members of the Divine Fleet who were mentioned at least once in Twilight Mirage.

Divines from whom Delegates are confirmed to have been created at some point prior to the events of PALISADE include:

After building smokestacks to revive Motion, the Frontier Syndicate siphoned off parts of her essence to make prototype Delegates, described as like her Cell Juniors. These were used as security for the premises.[8]

Known Delegates[edit | edit source]

  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 A "temporary exudation" from Wakeful.
