==Profile==
===Background===
Twenty years before the events of Fate/strange Fake, Delmio was called by Bishop Dilo to where he was assigned in Spain. Having taken the orphaned Hansa Cervantes from the wilderness after Hansa's village was slaughtered by a Dead Apostle, Dilo brought him to an orphanage. Hansa showed an extremely high aptitude for martial arts, so Delmio, extremely proficient in kung fu and other martial arts, was the best candidate in Dilo's eyes to take care of Hansa and train him. Skeptical of the situation, Delmio asked Dilo why he didn't choose Risei Kotomine instead, but Dilo cited Risei's commitment to an important task in Japan and Risei's own son.Fate/strange Fake Volume 2 - Chapter 4: Day 1, Before Dawn "A Battle Without Heroic Spirits"
Delmio realized Dilo's intent of having him raise Hansa when Dilo mentioning Delmio's desire for a capable successor. Deciding to try to scare Hansa into declining himself, he told him he could have a silver coin if he could "take it", launching it at great speed comparable to a bullet. Meaning for it to hit away from Hansa and scare him, he was shocked when Hansa easily grabbed it out of the air. Delmio accepted the situation after that, and became Hansa's foster father. He trained him in martial arts, Hansa later taking up a position as an Executor of the church.
===Appearance===
Delmio is an elderly man, with prominent wrinkles, gray hair, and a receding hairline. Despite his age, his physique is quite powerful given his practice of martial arts, and his right hand is covered in scars. Like most priests of the Church, he wears a black cassock with a cross around his neck.
===Personality===
Delmio shows some frustration with his adopted son Hansa’s absent-mindedness and flippancy. He advises him to keep his more careless tendencies in check when dealing with serious matters such as the Holy Grail War, and to present himself more like a priest is expected to in public.Fate/strange Fake Volume 1 - Prologue VII: “Visitor & ●●●●" He seems to dislike how one would waste food, and would lecture someone should anyone commit such sin. Hansa, who takes more after Dilo in this regard than he does his foster father, considers Delmio to be someone who makes choices without any emotional bias.Fate/strange Fake Volume 7 - Chapter 23: The Age of Gods and the Modern Age <Daybreak>
He was close friends with Risei Kotomine prior to his death in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
