Delcho Sinfella

Delcho Sinfella fires his Gamma Ray Burst at the Binturian Party

## Common Knowledge

A pitch-black dragon was seen flying over many places on Orelisle during 10,018 A.B.. The Fera Isles, Cliffhaven, Lesion, Binturia, and the Overbright all watched as for a moment a winged shadow blotted the sun, and then that same darkness faded over the Crinoid Mountains of Binturia.  Members of Leneki’s beast-folk army would know this enigmatic shadow to be Delcho Sinfella, a celestial dragon who sought to bring dragonkind back to the forefront of Orelisle, and who was defeated by the Binturian Party.

## Further Description

Delcho Sinfella was one of the two Vantablack Celestial Dragons ever known to exist. Presumably starting life as a Gold or Silver Celestial Dragon, Delcho led a movement among dragonkind to install a new order of dragons over mortals, and open portals to the Celestial Plane across Temporis to allow Celestial Dragons access to this dominion.

To this end, Delcho sought out five artifacts of power to fuel a ritual near an ancient gateway. The Wisp of Fegefeuer in the depths of Morsland, the Authority of Appearance in the Hallowed Hollow Crypt, the Alchemist's Acerbic Revelation in the vault of the Akashic Accords Libraries, the Cultured Cavalier’s Coat in the heart of Lesion, and the Cornucopia of the Mountain Gods in the castle of K’Vesten; all of these things he needed to power this rite of ascension. With the intervention of Leneki and the Binturian Party, Delcho only secured one of these objects, and at the final summit the Binturians struck him down in a long and drawn-out battle. Prior to his demise, he was a figurehead among dragonkind, and a patron of Urist’s Own mercenaries in Cliffhaven and southeastern Orelisle.

## Early Life

Delcho’s early life remains a mystery, but he was born as a Celestial Dragon in the Celestial Plane. It isn’t known whether he was radicalized to draconic superiority before or after his journey into the void, but they likely occurred close enough to be synchronous. In either case, Delcho travelled through the void in brief spurts for many years, each time learning more about it and incorporating more into himself. In time, Delcho Sinfella transformed himself completely into a Vantablack Celestial Dragon, a feat previously achieved only by the most brilliant Gold Celestial Dragons in ancient times.

Now frighteningly powerful, he set his sights on the Material Plane and how best to bring it back under the rule of dragons. Delcho idolized the period shortly after the fall of Old Binturia, where dragons of all kinds ruled over the mortals and brought an order that modern Orelisle sorely lacked. He departed from the Celestial Plane shortly before the Planar War occurred, and after the Planar War and Fel Invasion he began to put his plans into motion. He set up a base of operations in the ruins of Cliffhaven, recruiting dwarven mercenaries from there and the surrounding kingdoms of Marza and Kha. He enlisted the help of dragons, wyverns, and drakes across the Material Plane, slowly amassing an army of his own to block an anticipated counterattack.

The Celestial Council, the body which decides how Celestial Dragonkind will act, did not actively condone Delcho’s actions, but also chose not to halt him either. Many of them, in truth, agreed that dragons ruling mortals would benefit all, but few had the gumption to break from the norm and join him.

## Time with the Binturian Party

Delcho Sinfella had relatively few interactions with the Binturian Party. While the Binturians were actively attempting to foil his plan, they mostly engaged with agents like Justus Torrs, Silvestus Murdoch, and Heather Grey while seeing Delcho’s plans unfold in the background. Only when they reached the summit of the Crinoid Mountains during Delcho’s ritual did they have the opportunity to question his motives and ambition.

Delcho was unmoved and undeterred by the party’s reasoning, and was certain that draconic rule would benefit all life on the Material Plane. When it became abundantly clear that the Binturians were only speaking with him to stall for time as they secretly dislodged the substitute artifacts and damaged the ritual circle, he flew into a rage and unleashed the full force of his might against them, and that of his army.
