Fiamma of the Right

Fiamma of the Right is an antagonist of the magic side in the Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novels. His name is derived from the Italian name for flame, "Fiamma".

Appareance
He is a tall, skinny man with red hair wearing a red suit. He is always seen with a calm expression and a slight smile.

Personality
Among the members of God's Right Seat, he is seen as the highest position, and the other members are shown to be more loyal to him than they are to the Pope. Behind his calm personality hides a manipulative and ambitious person who doesn't hesitate to overstep his bounds past the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, use the entirety of Russian Orthodox Church, and even declare war against Academy City.

Plot
He seeks Touma and Index, the former for his power, which Fiamma considers the Holy Stone, and the latter for her knowledge in inaccessible forms of magic. Fiamma also uses his status as the current Pope's mentor to classify Touma as a heretic, thus enabling him to fulfill his purpose to capture Touma. He holds power capable enough to blow the whole of Rome away in one blast, but 2/3 of the damage is avoided by the Pope absorbing it into himself to protect the city, resulting in the Pope being hospitalized; however, part of the Vatican is still damaged from the attack. He makes his way to England, activates the external control of Index's spiritual artifact control, Johann's Pen during the Magic Civil War and also meets Touma, which leads to the both of them fighting. Using his Holy Right to attack Touma, it is destroyed but suddenly regenerates. According to Touma, Fiamma's Holy Right is very similiar to his Imagine Breaker, except the arm is manifested outward.

In Volume 20, he suddenly appears during a meeting between Touma, Lessar, Vent of the Front, and the leader of Elizarina, a country recently separated from Russia, and manages to seize Sasha while fending off the others. During the fight, Vent notices the flaw of Fiamma's power and corners him, but he then uses Index's remote control once more, defeats all of them, and leaves.

Abilities
According to him, he holds the symbol of miracles, "The Holy Right" which has the power of the archangel Michael, but he cannot use its full potential as of yet. When his power is used, a mirage- and bird-like claw appears from behind him, which is his main form of attack.

With his Holy Right, he can do the following:
 * The strike that ends everything it touches: this attack destroys everything it touches without any destructive force.
 * The strike that reaches everything when swung: this attack delivers itself right next to its target without any speed, thus allowing him to move anywhere at will.
 * He can produce a 30~40 km-sized sword.
