[edit] Biography
Aurelia was one of the concubines of the King of Dalkia, and due to her status she was not capable of gaining any inheritance after the king's death. At some point she began a secret relationship with the leader of the Dalkian Army and the king's personal guard, Roin, and together they plotted the King's death through poisoned food.
After the king's death, Aurelia quickly seized control of the kingdom. Suspicion was raised against her, since the death was still unresolved and it was too sudden, but Aurelia received help from Roin and the army and she successfully obtained leadership of Dalkia.
Her first action was the reinstatement of aggression towards Halteese, but she would eventually raise arms against Grandall as well, mostly by the use of Chester, who acted as an adviser.
After that, Aurelia spent most of the chronicles in Dalkia's castle, sending troops against the player's army and giving comments on their victories. Finally, in Chronicle 12, the player assaults the capital Revless and Aurelia confronts them as the last boss, after Roin's attempt at fending them off at the castle's entrance. Aurelia's fall dictates Dalkia's defeat and the end of the war.

[edit] Weapon
[edit] Black Widow
A sickle attached to a chain, the weapon of choice for Aurelia. Its name could be a reference to her story, as she killed her former husband and took over his power. This weapon has special effects as well. It saps the victim's life when attacks connect, and the Black Widow also has an extended reach. Because the chain is a bit thinner than most, its defensive abilities are weakened.
[edit] Trivia
