Menilek

Menilek was a historical figure from the Flower-Feather Clan in Natlan, and was one of the six warriors who joined forces with Tenoch in a war against the Abyss, alongside his Qucusaurus companion Ngoubou.^[5] He makes his first appearance in the form of a spiritual projection in the Archon Quest Despair Engulfs the Heavens in Chapter V: Act IV - The Rainbow Destined to Burn.

Menilek bore the Ancient Name VK ("VK," Vuka), which has since been inherited in the present-day by Chasca. Although it is unclear if Menilek possessed a vision, he was shown to have the ability to control the Pyro element.^[6]

Profile

Menilek has been shown wielding a claymore in battle.

Menilek, Wanjiru, and Sundjatta perished in their final battle against the Abyss, while Tupac clung to his life long enough to bring Mavuika to the Sacred Flame before succumbing to his wounds.^[6]
