About
Margot Delacroix (b. 1976) is one of the most powerful figures in Verdant, Connecticut. She is the owner of Delacroix's Tomes and Treasures, Verdant's oldest establishment, and a legacy member of House Subconium. She is the primary antagonist of the Comply visual novel.
Background
Margot comes from a long line of Delacroix women who have served as guardians of dangerous occult artifacts in Verdant. As a teenager, she discovered the personal diaries of Eleanor Ashburne in the Delacroix family vault — the same diaries that now serve as the primary source for the true history of Verdant, held by House Subconium.
In 1992, a young Margot leaked documents about Verdant's occult history — an act that may have been deliberate defiance against her mother's commercial caution, or something more impulsive. The exact motivation remains unclear.
Role in the Subconium Shared Universe
Margot is the thread connecting the Comply visual novel directly to the occult machinery beneath Verdant. In Comply, she curses protagonist Haley Wegner with the The Anklet of Inevitable Accord, setting the story in motion.
She is aware of Professor William Taylor's activities at Eastern Tsuga College — the Astraea Society, the Camera Noctis, the broader undercurrents of Verdant — but her exact relationship to Taylor's work has not been fully established.
The Delacroix line
The Delacroix family has a generational role as guardians of dangerous artifacts. Key figures include:
- Margot Delacroix (b. 1976) — current generation; House Subconium legacy member
- Eloise Delacroix — Margot's mother; retained documents she did not share with the Historical Society
- Gen 7 — the seventh generation of the Delacroix line
- An unnamed grandmother (~1897–1969) — Order of the Hemlock operative; used the Anklet to kill Elias Roarke in 1929
