Delegates are synthetic people created from Divines. They were "carved away" like "slivers" from the whole of the Divine, and so they represent aspects of whatever Divine they were made from. Many Delegates could be made from a single Divine. The Divine, Arbitrage describes them as "abominations" and a "failed experiment".[1] Delegates were developed as the Crown of Glass and Divine Principality worked out how to break Gumption apart to put it into other Divines.[2]
Delegates are enslaved by the Fabreal Duchy; they're the lowest on the social hierarchy whose exploitation enables the function of the Duchy's infrastructure. August Righteousness secretly operates a Delegate resistance movement.
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).[2]
Known Delegates include August Righteousness, Bright Mercy, Gentle Influence, Cruel Emphasis, and Limited Dissent.[1][note 1]
Notes
- ↑ The originating Divines seem to have been deceased former members of the Divine Fleet, as most of them were mentioned at least once in Twilight Mirage.
