Zinedine Delan Guelfi

**Zinedine Delan Guelfi** (ジネディーヌ・デラン・グェルフィ) is the Cardinal of Water and a member of the highest authority of the Slane Theocracy.

## Appearance

Zinedine is a shriveled old man. He is so old that one can not correctly tell his exact age and his skin is of dusty brown hue.

## Personality

Despite his old age, none could exceed Zinedine's intellect. He was able to deduce that a mere army of Death Knights shouldn't be the cause for Thousand Leagues Astrologer's fear and the reason why she is locked up in her room. In a way, he believed that she must have saw something which none of the God-kins may stand no chances against.

## Chronology

### The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc

*Main article: The Ruler of Conspiracy*
After cleaning the sacred room and offering thanks to the Six Great Gods, the council sat together on the round table for a meeting organized by Raymond Zarg Lauransan to share the latest details about
the war that Ainz Ooal Gown participated.

### The Half Elf God-kin Arc

*Main article: The Half Elf God-kin Arc*
At the time of the invasion of the Re-Estize Kingdom by the Sorcerer Kingdom, Zinedine was in a meeting with the Cardinals and other members of the higher echelons of the
Theocracy. When a few of the Cardinals brought up the idea to extract Brain Unglaus from the nation by force if necessary, Cardinal Berenice Nagua Santini believed that Unglaus would refuse to flee due to his character and if they did so, it would only anger the warrior.

The Head of Legislature commented that Unglaus was the same as the Warrior Captain and ultimately they the executives of the Theocracy were unable to understand such people that didn't look at
the bigger picture and instead followed their irrational emotions. Thought his words earned him some glaring looks, he apologized s it was just his opinion and believed that retrieving someone with such a
disregard of life would be a bad idea, something which Cardinal Dominic Ihre Partouche agreed as did Zinedine who decided to drop the matter of extracting Unglaus.

## Quotes

* (To Raymond): *"The law does not prohibit false testimony and obscuring the truth in this place, but we are colleagues serving under the same flag and lying is a grave offense. If you agree with this, let me ask you one more time: What are you hiding?"*
* (To Dominic about 7th Seat): *"She did so out of despair. Or perhaps she must have suffered some sort of shock. It's true that an army of the dead is frightening. However, she's a member of the Black Scripture. Do you really think she would go into hiding just because of that?...It's because she saw something that even the God-kin could not beat. This report isn't complete, is it?"*
* (To Raymond): *"..What are you trying to achieve by hiding that point? I trust you. I know you're not the sort of man who would use the Scriptures for his own gain. But why are you not revealing this?"*
