The Manual of Style says past tense should be used for characters who are deceased. I'm unsure about the use of present/past tense in the history of characters who are still living, since the time frame of books that take place in the World of Deltora is varied. In-universe time used to be fixed at the end of The Sister of the South -- since the release of the Star of Deltora series it has changed, but we haven't really addressed it. I'll wait to see what the other admins have to say.
