Melalo

Melalo

ORIGIN:

Romani (Transylvanian Gypsy)

Melalo the master magician is the first child of Ana, Queen of the Keshalyi, and her husband, King of the Loçolico. Melalo is considered the most dangerous of her children and an exceptionally powerful Demon. His name means “filthy,” as in dirty but also obscene.

Melalo, an expert on love and fertility magic, is the mastermind who orchestrates the births of his siblings, disease Demons one and all. The king of the Loçolico is genuinely in love with Ana. He seeks to have sex with her because he desires her. Melalo, however, hates people and encouraged his father’s pursuit of his mother so that she would continue to produce disease Demons to kill people and stop them from multiplying. On the other hand, Melalo and his sister/wife Lilyi have many children to whom they are devoted.

Melalo causes mental illness and strokes. He stirs up rage, deliberately instigating rape, murder, and wanton destruction. He is described as ripping out human hearts with his claws.

MANIFESTATION:

Melalo resembles a two-headed bird with dull green plumage.
