That depends.
If recluse is an adjective, then it would be
deliberately (adverb) recluse (adjective, rare) = same as = deliberately reclusive
If recluse is a noun, then it would be:
deliberate (adjective) recluse (noun)
Note that recluse may be both, depending on context, although recluse as an adjective is very rarely used today. In your context I'd say it's a noun, therefore the original sentence is correct.
