Velma

A skilled strategist, Velma was a disciple of Luminous Emperor Karna Masta of the Six Imperial Gods. Velma is believed to have used a cunning stratagem to engineer the all-out war between the Marine Emperor and Ardent Empress. She went on to carry out several plans to weaken the Imperial Gods afterwards, such as arranging for both Zeleste and Agnia's disciples to defect and coaxing Agnia to slay the Verdant Emperor. As such, she contributed very much to her master's victory. However, scholars believe that Velma was slain during the conflict between the Imperial Gods, when she was struck by a blow from the enraged Heavenly Empress. One school of thought holds that Velma acted according to the Dark Emperor's wishes. Given that, these scholars also believe that Velma's death at the Heavenly Empress's hands was also a part of the Dark Emperor's plan. If this were true, and had Velma realized the Dark Emperor's intent earlier, it is highly implausible to think she would have forgiven him for plotting her demise. It seems certain that she would have used clever schemes to lure the brother-gods into conflict with one another, driving them to their doom.
