Delilah

Delilah

Delilah is a clone made from a combination of Demona and Elisa's DNA by Sevarius for Thailog.

History

Unlike the other Clones, Delilah was made without Demona’s knowledge; Thailog had already decided that Demona was too violent and unpredictable to make a viable ally for long, and therefore wanted a new mate as a successor to her when the time came to break with her. He therefore had Sevarius create Delilah for this purpose. (His choice of originals for his new mate suggests that Thailog has something of an Oedipus complex).

After Demona protested Thailog’s decision to kill the captive Angela at Coney Island, he decided that the time had come to reveal Delilah to her. This revelation proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back, as Demona released the Manhattan Clan and then sought out vengeance upon Thailog for piling insult upon betrayal by mixing her genes with Elisa’s. In the battle that followed, Angela defeated Delilah, who afterwards went to live in the Labyrinth with the other Clones.

Delilah will be Goliath’s "date" on the occasion of the "Halloween double date", but be forced to face the fact that Goliath has given his heart to Elisa in the end. She will find a mate of her own, however, and will become the ancestor of Delilah.

Real World Background

Delilah was named after the infamous woman who betrayed Samson to the Philistines (Judges 16: 4-20), and who has since become a byword for female treachery and seductiveness; doubtless, this was in Thailog’s mind when he chose her name, particularly the seductiveness. The name also has some similarities to both "Demona" and "Elisa". It's not a perfect bledning of the two, but Thailog isn't called "Htailog" either.
