Names:	Menele
Clan:	Brujah
Generation:	4th
Sire:	Troile
Childer:	Clear Brook, Critias

A Brujah Methuselah of the Fourth Generation who resided somewhere in the area of Chicago, in torpor, during the latter years of the World of Darkness (old). Before his embrace by Troile, this powerful Cainite was a king in ancient Greece during the 13th century B.C.. As one of the earliest of his clan (VTM), he participated in the founding of the city of Carthage, eventually falling into a role of travelling diplomat. During his travels abroad the Toreador Methuselah Helena, who would later become his arch-rival, betrayed the city in the name of the nacent 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. Meneleus was one of the first Cainites to make the voyage to the New World and was 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 dwelled 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.
