Iuna Pythia
She hates Delphinia because of her foreign origin as well as the fact that the latter refuses to capitulate. She envies Delphinia's link to the gods, and feels she herself is superior priestess.

In Chapter 13, Delphinia has the option of having her acolytes kill Iuna or giving her mercy and banishing her from the temple.

Trivia

 * She is from Egypt.
 * Until Chapter 15, she resides in Macedonia, while you are in Rome. In Chapter 15, she and her acolytes travel to Egypt.
