Fiamma of the Right

Fiamma of the Right (右方のフィアンマ) is a member of God's Right Seat and 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."

Appearance
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, though his reasons to do so are still unknown.

Plot
The leader and center of God's Right Seat, with him stating as long as he's alive, the positions of Acqua, Terra and Vento can be replaced, but if he's gone God's Right Seat as an organization would also be gone beyond salvaging.

He seeks Touma and Index, the former for his power, which Fiamma considers the Holy Right, 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 enough power to blow away all of Rome in one blast, but 2/3 of the damage is avoided by the Pope absorbing it to protect the city, resulting in the Pope being hospitalized; however, part of the Vatican was still damaged by the attack. He made his way to England, activated 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 similar to his Imagine Breaker, except the arm is manifested outward.

In Volume 20, he suddenly appears during a meeting between Touma, Lessar, Vento 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, Vento notices the flaw of Fiamma's power, that it has a limit and reached it while fighting Touma and corners him, but he then uses Index's remote control once more to keep his 3rd arm—even though it disintegrated physically— and leaves with Sasha captured after defeating all of them.

During the fight it turns out that he knew about Touma's memory loss and told Index through a telepathic link while she was forcibly still in her Johann Pen Mode. He then tells Touma to stay alive because he needs his Imagine Breaker for his powers be to complete.

Abilities
According to him, he holds the symbol of miracles, the Holy Right (聖なる右), 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. However, he has revealed he can now use any symbolism magic that has anything to do with the Right Hand, such as how archangel Michael slayed Lucifer with his right hand, the Son of God heals with his right hand, and one needs to record bibles with their right hand, plus many others. Touma likened Fiamma’s power to having "One-hit KO" in an RPG alongside the other options like "Fight," "Items" and "Magic," thinking that it’s really unfair.

With his Holy Right, he has shown 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 made of flame.
