Cordelia

Throughout the Festival of Lights arc, Cordelia is an overbearing, suspicious personal attendant to Maeri . Over the course of the arc, the Guardians discover that Cordelia is merely Torva inhabiting the Vessel of Vioni in order to influence Maeri's life and bring about the destruction of Estra .
==05. Festival of Lights (Part 5)==
Throughout the first half of the arc, Cordelia aids Cecilia in keeping Maeri sheltered and isolated. When the Guardians accompany the Goddess and her attendants to see to the preparations for the festival, Cordelia is the one who admonishes Laika for break-dancing in the Magician's Workshop. 
Cordelia is also the one who protests Persephone positioning the Guaridans so close to Maeri on the stage for the festival of lights. During this interaction, Corbin calls her a villain and Laika uses Thaumaturgy to make it sound like she farted. Retroactively, it is good to know that the Guardians were making Torva's life difficult even before they knew who he was. 
At the end of the episode, Cordelia ushers both Maeri and Cecilia away from the Guardians. 
==06. Festival of Lights (Part 6)==
When the Guardians return to their rooms, they find Gingie squaring off with Cordelia in front of Laika's door. Cordelia is visibly angry but claims only to have been attempting to find the Guardians for their ceremonial armor fittings. Gingie says that Cordelia was attempting to get into Laika's room.  
Cordelia becomes more frustrated and indignant as the Guardians refuse to do as she says. She tells them that the shades that attacked the Goddess came from the world below merely to drain the Goddess of her magic. The Guardians don't believe her for a second.  
It is during this episode that Aleya tells the Guardian's about the specifics of the shape-shifitng vessel and that no-one has ever seen Cordelia's face. From this, the Guardians begin to figure out that Cordelia may not be who she seems. 
==08. Festival of Lights (Part 8)==
During the Guardians' confrontation with Cecilia, Cordelia manifests out of the shadows in Maeri's room. It is at this point that the Guardian's suspicions are confirmed, as Cordelia's veil has finally been lifted to reveal that she has no face, only a gaping blackness. Quickly the shape-shifting vessel transforms into several other people. First, it transforms into the visage of Fran's recently deceased mentor, Alonia. Next, an old human with a bushy mustache, then to Redroof Oakstreamer , then to something inhuman. Finally, it lands on a male face with coppery skin, golden hair and teeth as black as obsidian. He wishes the Guardians luck and his voice sends them to the ground in pain. When they recover, he and Cecilia are gone. Later, they are told by Cosu that that was the face of Torva the Conqueror.
