Gi Delilas (ギ・デリラ, Gi Derira) is the oldest of the Delilas Family in Legend of Legaia. He is an expert with all types of blades and knows the exact points of where to strike his opponent's body so as to hit vital internal organs.
Appearance
Gi Delilas has spiked olive green hair and looks much like a ninja with his mask that covers his nose and the bottom half of his face and bright red eyes. He is of medium height with a lean physique. His chest, legs and arms are covered in a purple armor and his shoulders are covered with red, puffed sleeves.
Gi wears a black glove on his left hand whereas his right hand is covered by a circular piece of armor that covers the hilt of his long, jagged Seru blade. Gi's Sim-Seru covers his back but two tendrils wrap themselves around his stomach which end in white spikes. In Conkram of the past Gi is not seen wearing a mask like his siblings but wears elegant, royal attire worn by Conkram's nobles.
Personality
Gi is a natural elitist who looks down on others he deems unworthy. However, he has a great sense of pride and honor and upholds the family tradition of one-on-one combat. When Gi obtains his Sim-Seru he retains his cold and calculating personality. He is quite cunning and is the leader of the Delilas Siblings.
Gi's skill with a blade is almost unrivaled and he prides himself on being an expert at targeting vital organs on the bodies of his opponents. Gi is extremely loyal to his masters and devotes himself to protecting Lord Zora. Incredibly devoted to the power of the Mist, Gi has no qualms with suggesting that the Delilas Siblings sacrifice their lives in order to further the Mist's goals.
Story
Early Life
Not much is known about Gi Delilas except that he served as a bodyguard of Conkram's Royal Family. Gi, along with his younger siblings Che and Lu, were often seen protecting the High Priestess, Zora.
Legend of Legaia
- "Hey, blue-headed brat! You seem to be the leader of this kindergarten class."
- —Gi's first words to Vahn
Gi Delilas is first met at the Gate of Shadows with his siblings Che and Lu. He challenges Vahn to a battle, much to the displeasure of Noa who wants to fight him, but Lu informs him of Zora's plans with Koru at Nivora Ravine. This forces Gi to postpone his battle with Vahn, but before leaving he and his siblings introduce themselves with special poses and introductions revealing their specialties in battle. Gi then promises to take Vahn's life the next time they meet before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
Gi Delilas is found with his siblings in Zora's Floating Castle during a skippable cutscene. Zora observes that the Genesis Tree of Sol has been revived and congratulates the Ra-Seru heroes on their success, to which Gi responds that he will kill Vahn as soon as she gives the order. Zora tells Gi and the rest to leave the heroes alone and has them head to Nivora Ravine to protect Koru. The next time Vahn, Noa, and Gala meet the Delilas Siblings is at Nivora Ravine, to stop the Ra-Seru heroes from destroying Koru with TimeSpace Bombs. They fight the Ra-Seru heroes in three consecutive one-on-one battles but all lose and fall into the pit underneath Koru.
After the SpaceTime Bombs go off the near-dead Delilas siblings merge with the barely surviving Koru, giving him the command to release his thermal energy. They have no fear of sacrificing their lives in order to lay waste to all of Karisto Kingdom and decide to fight Vahn, Noa, and Gala until Koru is ready to explode. Unfortunately for them, Koru is defeated before it can self-destruct and instead of a large explosion a radiant energy rises in the air and melts all of the ice in Nivora Ravine and Buma. This also unblocks the path leading to Mt. Dhini in northern Karisto.
Gi Delilas is seen without his ninja attire in Conkram's palace when Vahn, Noa and Gala travel to the past for a Nemesis Gem. He is quite confident in his fighting abilities and eager to fight Vahn after hearing he uses incredible fighting techniques.
