Marcus Delmege

"The man he had spoken with was a noble by the name of Marcus Delmege, who had a son named Daniel back in their home region of Lareios."

Marcus Delmege is a character from Fate By Blades, and the first major opposition to Lucas Septis. However, he was defeated in the campaign and died afterwards from some unknown illness.

Role in Fate By Blades
Marcus and Lucas both schemed to remove the treacherous adivisers from the imperial court, by force in nessecary, and were joined by Mitchu Higube. They managed to win the resulting battle, but the Emperor had fled to safety in the guard of a loyal officer. When Hurion Soulfire occupied the capital with 20,000 soldiers, he pardoned both Lucas and Marcus, and Marcus apparently returned home.

He was later approached by Mitchu and Lucas and made commander of the Allied Forces. However, he proved to be an ineffective tactitian, with most of the plans being made by his followers. Following the victory in the campaign, he gave both Kirrin Higube and Lucas troops to aid them in their goals.

He gained the governance of multiple provinces as a reward from the Emperor, but covetted Lucas's new position of imperial protector. Threatening to invade, Marcus demanded that Lucas step down as Imperial Protector. Lucas instead became Prime Minister and then stepped down, infuriating Marcus further.

Allying with Frederick Stormson, he went to war with Lucas. However, he was repeatedly beaten before he took the wise advice of his son, Daniel Delmege. However, defeat was near certain despite Daniel outwitting Lucas several times. Marcus was approached by the Hooded Figure, who offered him the chance to defeat Lucas, but Marcus refused the offer and was defeated for the last time soon afterwards.

He died, requesting that his son capitulate to Lucas and join the Prime Minister, granting Lucas lordship of the North. He was not resurrected by Ezra, contrary to belief.
