'''Dilaf''' is the [[Shu Dereth#RanksThe_Great_Chain|Gragdetgragdet]] of the [[Shu Dereth#Monastaries|Dakhor]] monastery leading up to the [[invasion of Arelon]].
 
Some time during his life as a Dakhor monk, he was assigned to act as a spy in [[Arelon]], and had his physical characteristics altered to appear like a young [[Arelene]].{{book ref|elantris|60}} Some time after this transformation, he met and fell in love with a woman from Arelon. When she died in spite of [[Elantrian]] aid, his hatred of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]] congealed into something that drove him to the point of madness. After leading the assaults on both [[Kae]] and [[Teod]], he was killed by [[Hrathen]], who could not tolerate his genocidal tendencies.
