Simon Delicata

A big man with hands that hang almost to his knees, Delicata first encountered Willie before the days of The Network, when they were running guns off Uruguay. Delicata almost killed Willie in a fight, by kicking him repeatedly in the ribs. Delicata teams up with Gabriel to recover the Garamantes treasure buried at Mus. He breaks Dr. Aaronson's neck when the doctor becomes concerned about what is happening in the Sahara, and tells Sir Gerald Tarrant, Modesty and Steve Collier that his name is Armitage when they narrowly miss catching him in the act. Delicata kidnaps Dinah Pilgrim from Modesty's cottage near Benildon, and takes her to Mus. After Modesty and Willie escape with the rest of the prisoners, Delicata kills Gabriel and McWhirter and drives off across the desert with the treasure. He encounters Modesty and Willie at Bordj Kerim, where he is killed by Willie.
