General Melagius is a minor antagonist in the video game Age of Mythology and its remaster, Age of Mythology: Retold. He appears in the single mission "Greetings from Greece" as main antagonist during the The New Atlantis campaign. He is a commanding officer of Sikyos, who comes into conflict with the Atlanteans.
Biography[]
Before the events of the campaign, General Melagius has been described as highly-driven by dominance and greed, seeking to seize control of as much land as possible. Although he is more than capable in combat himself, he never fought on the front line. In addition, he demonstrates certain traits of a narcissist, specifically having statues be erected in his honor across any land within his control. Finally, he values material possessions and enjoys having his buildings plated in gold.
During the events of the campaign, Kastor and his fellow Atlanteans arrive on a Mediterranean island under Melagius's control. Two of his scouts notice this, and become alarmed when they restore temples to Kronos and Oranos, and proceed to attack. When the Atlanteans take control of the island, the surviving Greeks flee the island to Melagius's main base.
At the main base, the general is informed of the threat of the Atlanteans, that they are on their way towards them. He called for his Egyptian and Norse allies to assist. Kastor is in fact, intent on peacefully demanding an explanation for why they were attacked, unaware that he is being deceived. General Melagius leaves no room for him to do so, and his army goes to battle with the Atlanteans. He is killed in combat before the arrival of his allies.
