Description: Represents the constellation Aries in Bavel’s Linguistic Imperialism Division and is one of the most horrifying of Beli Ya’al’s horoscope underlings. Grew up as a human farmer, but became a hired gun for Bavel once he learned how to transform into a ram. As a sheep, he is covered in light, fluffy wool and rags that defy damage, and his jumps soar into the sky. Kidnaps the children of his enemies.（タレーは、バベルの言語帝国主義部門において、星座牡羊座を象徴し、ベリ・ヤアルの占星術の部下の中でも最も恐ろしい一人です。タレーは人間の農夫として育ちましたが、羊に変身する方法を学んだ後、バベルの雇われ殺し屋となりました。羊として、彼は軽くてふわふわの毛皮と傷つけられない布で覆われ、彼のジャンプは空へと舞い上がります。また、彼は敵の子供を誘拐することでも知られています。）
Finally, “Milhamah” reveals its first main villain, Deli!
Don’t expect this Deli to make you a sandwich.
Deli (pronounced duh-LEE) is a member of Bavel’s linguistic imperialism division. He is on a mission to silence the Holy Tongue Society.
While the jar and its carrier might appear to be a team, they are one combined being. Only the urn is sentient; the winged humanoid is a muscle-bound puppet that can’t think on its own. Rumors say both entities are thousands of years old.
Just like ancient Babylon, the new Bavel Empire obsesses over space and its stars. So Deli represents the water bearer Aquarius.
(The Aquarius symbol is on the character’s crown, and the cuneiform version is on its forehead. Ishtar Gate designs inspire the rest of the costume.)
One might wonder what Aquarius has to do with the grammar and language themes in “Milhamah.” But it does, as you’ll see!
Deli’s root letters are dalet-lamed-yod (דלי), which deals with water extraction. When he undergoes permutation, he has control over life, the tides, doors and more.
Watch Deli in action when “Milhamah” Episode 6 is published next week. Stay dry, Shem!
