Dr. Delein

**Dr. Delein (박사 델레인** *Doctor Delein***)** was a minor antagonist at the beginning in the manhwa, *Eleceed.* However, after his arrest, he has become a minor supporting character, currently detained and working for the Awakened Union*.* He is Wooin's mentor and his main ability is Telekinesis.

**Current Status**

After his escape with the Klein Brothers thanks to Loberne, they have been recaptured, with Dr. Delein turning himself back to the Awakened Union.

## Background

Not much is known about Dr. Delein's past, however he did adopt Wooin from an orphanage a long time ago. Dr. Delein taught Wooin telekinesis and made Wooin assist him in his experiments. Dr. Delein is very passionate about finding a way to awaken animals, even going so far to abduct stray cats and experiment on them. It has been stated that he use to have a daughter that was around Wooin's age, but she died due to an unknown disease. That's why he is very passionate about his experiments because if his daughter was an awakened one she would have survived since the body of an awakened one is much stronger than a normal humans. He seems to have the same client as the Klein Brothers.

## Appearance

Dr. Delein has gray hair and is old. He has a slim and tall build. Before getting captured by the Union, he wears a reddish-brown 3 piece suit with a royal blue button-up shirt and white tie.

## Personality

Dr. Delein is a very cruel individual. He has no qualms in killing others who get in the middle of his experiments and killing animals for the sake of his research. When he found out that it was Jiwoo that stole his one successful awakened animal, he attempted to kill Jiwoo to silence him. Though he is quite ruthless, he also cares greatly for Wooin, even if he has a twisted way of showing his care. When he discovered that the Awakener's Union was closing in on his secret lab, he quickly acted like Wooin betrayed him as a way to protect Wooin from being prosecuted by the Union.

## Abilities and Fighting Prowess

Dr. Delein's main ability is Telekinesis. His manipulation of his ability is much stronger than Wooin's. However Dr. Delein is considered to be weaker than the top ranks of Korea as shown when he was unable to fight against the Awakened Union and Kayden.

**Telekinesis**: His ability has a black aura with a red light that is very similar to Wooin's. He can send out large amounts of his power to cover a large area to find things imbedding with his power. He also has the same offensive and defensive tactics as Wooin.

**Increased Mobility**: As seen when Dr. Delein quickly traveled around the cell tower to find his awakened cat in Episode 4, he can move fluidly across buildings.

**Sensitivity to Abilities**: Apparently he is sensitive to active abilities as he was able to figure out the "hunters/trackers" from the Awakened Union were closing in on his location after his fight with Kayden.

**Superhuman Durability**: Most broken bones and severe injuries would be critical to the average human, but since he is an awakened one most of these injuries are not serious. Awakened ones can recover in no time.

**Intelligence**: He was able to figure out a way to protect Wooin when the Awakened Union came to catch him. He also is a very passionate researcher and was able to figure out a way to awaken animals, so it can be same to assume he is smart.

## Relationships

### **Wooin**

Wooin is Dr. Delein's adopted son and student, where the latter took him in as a child and kept him as his student ever since. Wooin's powers resemble his a lot. Though Dr. Delein was quite callous and cold to Wooin in the early chapters of the series, its shown they care about each other, when captured by the Union he makes a deal with Seongha Park that the Union would protect Wooin if he were to tell them what they wanted and Dr. Delein seems pleased to hear that Wooin is gaining good friends. They have a father-son like relationship.

### **Unknown Daughter**

It was mentioned that he loved his daughter dearly, and that she was around Wooins age. She was not a awakened one, possessed a weak body, and her health was quite fragile leading to her early death due to an unknown disease. That prompted Dr. Delain to start his experiments.
