Cardinal Alphonse Delacroix, also known as Alphons Draclau, is second-in-command of the Church of Glabados as well as a famous knight of the Fifty Years' War and is possessed by the Lucavi demon Cúchulainn. He is also the lord of Lionel Castle.
[edit] Seeking the Stones
Delacroix is helping the Lucavi retrieve all of the Zodiac Stones which are the Lucavi's conduits to exist in Ivalice. He learns that Besrudio Bunansa has the Taurus Stone and hires Ludovich Baert, leader of the Baert Trading Company to seize the stone. They capture Besrudio, but his son Mustadio escapes. Baert's mercenaries hunt him down, but he is saved by Ramza Beoulve and Agrias Oaks who are on their way to Lionel to seek shelter for Princess Ovelia. The Cardinal greets them and reveals that he has the Scorpio Stone. He tells Mustadio about the Zodiac Brave Legend and then agrees to shelter Ovelia. Agrias remains with Ovelia, while Ramza and Mustadio depart for the Clockwork City of Goug to find Besrudio.
Delacroix has Ovelia imprisoned, but Agrias escapes. Meanwhile, Ramza and Mustadio run afoul of Baert. Baert manages to obtain what he believes is the Taurus Stone, but is actually a fake. He takes it back to the Cardinal and the Cardinal, discovering it to be a fake, kills Baert and hires Goffard Gaffgarion in his place. Ramza and Mustadio escape Baert's minions and return by an alternate route, rescuing Agrias in the process. Gaffgarion sets a trap at Golgollada Gallows, but is unable to defeat Ramza upon his arrival and retreats back to Lionel where he sets a second trap at the gate. Meanwhile, Delacroix greets Delita Heiral and fellow demon-possessed church official Folmarv Tengille. Folmarv informs Ovelia that she is not really the princess she thinks she is, and Delita then takes her to Duke Goltanna.
[edit] Fighting Ramza
Ramza again defeats Gaffgarion, this time killing him, and makes his way inside the castle, where he, Agrias, and Mustadio confront Delacroix, aware of his involvement with Baert. Delacroix reveals that Ovelia is no longer around and transforms into Cúchulainn. He then attacks Ramza and company, but despite his powerful attacks, he is defeated and killed.
