Editing Simone Delcius


A historical villain; a [[Apparitions to Zombies#Vampire|vampire]].

Simone wields the black magical sword [[Nyctophobos]], which slew [[Pandarial]] at the end of the [[Scarlet War]]. (Sun Year 868. An account of that battle can be found in [[Dark Tide Rising]] by [[Davilan the Scribe]].) While logical to assume, historical references leave open to interpretation whether Simone was in fact wielding Nyctophobos at the time-- grammatically, the references credit the blade itself, not Simone, with killing Pandarial.

[[Lady Dara Sunglimmer]] revealed that Simone is a member, and possibly the leader, of an evil organization called the [[Empty Circle]], and consequently is still in existence.


==Indirect Encounters with the Companions==
*During one of the [[Companions of the Rising Sun|Companion's]] first adventures, [[The Hallowed Hills]], the party learned that Simone had turned the assistant priest of a small chapel west of [[Corvis]] into a vampire spawn. The priest/spawn wreaked havoc until destroyed by the Companions. The Companions were drawn to the area by "signs a recent earthquake, and ... strange dreams"; whether Simone or the priest/spawn were involved with either is unknown. 

*Later, the party learned from Lady Dara that Simone had hired [[Cabot's Crew]] to kill them during the [[Wreck of the Venerable Drake]] adventure. Simone posed as the [[Amber Dragon]] when hiring the Crew in order to cast suspicion onto Amber Dragon.
==Direct Encounters with the Companions==
*Simone Delcius led a strike team into the house where [[Rachel Weaver]] lay giving birth, during the events of [[Glory Exultation]].  She did not directly interact with the [[Companions of the Rising Sun]], but watched from afar and rode off when her vampire strike team was defeated.
*Simone later attacked the Companions at the [[Temple of the Eternal Fount]], in an effort to take from them the [[Amulets of the Elements]] and complete the ritual herself. She failed and was destroyed.
