Leuf Vellize

Leuf Vellize was the last chancellor of the Byandy Empire, serving Emperor Framrodia Byandiraz until she was killed in office at some time proximate to the empire's collapse. She possesses Elemental hearing even in death and can thus communicate with Elementals, though she cannot see them.

Appearance
Chancellor Vellize is an aging woman with brown skin who keeps her grey hair tied back in a large bun. Her attire consists of a seven-spoked red headdress with gold trim, a long dress, and black, blue-trimmed robe tied with a tasseled cord. Those with the Elemental Eye would have been able to perceive an Elemental hovering over her head at all times when she was alive, though the Elemental no longer accompanies her in death.

In life
One a certain day, Easlies Swordfrail visits the chancellery to introduce Chancellor Vellize to her new apprentice, a half-Viveenyan boy who possesses both the Evil Eye and Elemental Eye. Chancellor Vellize, who comparatively can only hear and communicate with Elementals, acknowledges the boy's more difficult position but encourages the boy to "live on in strength" by thinking of both the dead and the Elementals as constant companions. She will pray to the Elementals on the boy's behalf, she says, and of him requests that he faithfully serve the empire as its subordinate and her colleague. This the boy does, eventually earning the sobriquet of Corpse God through his feats on the empire's battlefields.

Chancellor Vellize will come to be killed at some time proximate to the empire's collapse. Through necromancy, she and others of the deceased persuasion will form a contract with Corpse God, though he will not summon them once during the next hundred years.

Life in death
Roughly a month or so after Corpse God's reincarnation as Polka Shinoyama in Shinjuku, Corpse God summons the spirits of Chancellor Vellize, Framrodia Byandiraz, at least two imperial sorcerers, a dual-fanged tiger, and other creatures to aid him in his battle with Civil A. Sabaramond. With Corpse God's permission, Vellize excuses herself from the fight to "attend to matters elsewhere."

These matters are Lulu, her Elemental—the same Elemental that once accompanied Vellize—and Misaki Sakimiya, whom Lulu's Elemental is fending off with what Vellize considers to be overcautious behavior. Upon approaching Lulu, Vellize expresses disbelief that "that monster has come over to this world" and then attempts to communicate with her former Elemental; she is less than impressed to discover that the Elemental language has "all but ceased" in the one hundred years since her death. Nevertheless, she pats Lulu's head and says she is glad that she entrusted her soul to Corpse God, as doing so has allowed her to meet her descendant.

Trivia

 * Leuf is visible in the illustration of Chapter 56's title art, eight chapters before her debut. There is a possibility of her being the rightmost silhouette of the souls that have contracted with Corpse God on page 58 of Volume 4, Chapter 28.
