Appearance:
History: Before his embrace by Troile, this powerful Cainite was a king in ancient Greece during the 13th century BC. As one of the earliest of his clan, he participated in the founding of the city of Carthage, eventually falling into a role of traveling diplomat. During his travels abroad, the Toreador Methuselah Helena, who would later become his arch-rival, betrayed the city in the name of the nascent Roman Empire and it was destroyed utterly by their legions. Centuries later he was responsible for the destruction of the Roman city of Pompeii, which was then ruled by Helena. EmbraceEdit
Troile, a philosopher who traveled widely since the destruction of the Second City, found the scholar-king, Meneleus, most fascinating. At the end of the night, Troile took Meneleus to his Haven north of the city; there they spent the next several months deep in conversation. Finally, Troile decided that Meneleus possessed all the elements required to make him worthy of immortality. Thus, Meneleus became embraced by Troile into the Brujah. The New World
Meneleus was one of the first Cainites to make the voyage to the New World, in 1415, and was partially responsible for the Inca and Mayan rise to power. Many years later, he was forced to flee to North America when Spanish Conquistadors, manipulated by Helena, wiped out the native population around the Yucatan. From that time to the more recent centuries he was a major influence on the Pueblo Native American population and dwelt peacefully in their midst, eventually even gaining the begrudging acceptance of the native Garou tribes and pursued further the elusive path of Golconda.
During the epic War Of Chicago in 1993, which saw the cities' Cainites and Garou at each other's throats, he remained, for the most part, an observer. Later, he made an attempt to use the Daughters of Cacophony to manipulate Helena via her pawn, the neonate Portia.
