Born to one of the wealthier families on Negaru IV, Melroek enjoyed exploring the abandoned mines that riddled his planet. Not naturally bright, he forced himself to learn from everyone he met, determined to overcome this flaw. He is very honest and blunt about everything, often angering people unintentionally. Listening to the tales of men both good and ill, he decided that there is not good or evil, just perspective and interpretation. He holds to this concept very firmly.
