- Born into the royal family of Celene, he assumed the simple name of Melf eschewing a life of comfort as a noble to study the arcane arts and train as a swordsman. He delved in the dungeons of Castle Greyhawk, the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and many other harrowing places honing his skills, knowledge and amassing powerful magical items. Melf sees himself as a weapon of weal hurtling toward the heart of the darkest evils in the realm. He is opinionated and has a touch of conceit that he is blissfully ignorant of possessing..

Abilities
Basic Attack
- Zagyg's Needle (melee) - Melf leaps out and attacks the nearest enemy with his magic spear. If he has any Minute Meteors active, he fires one at a random enemy as well.
Formation Abilities
- Melf's Custom Support Spell - Melf creates a custom spell to assist the formation. It increases the damage of adjacent Champions by 400%, and will be augmented based on the specialization you pick for Melf.
- Melf in the Middle - Melf increases the range of Melf's Custom Support Spell by 2 and the effect of Melf's Custom Support Spell by 400% if Melf is in the column in the formation with the most Champions. In the event of a formation with multiple columns of the same size, Melf can be in any of them.
- Melf's Righteous Determination - Melf knows exactly what evil is. Whenever an enemy spawns, or is attacked by Melf, it has a 50% chance of being deemed "evil". Enemies that are deemed evil take 1000% more damage from all attacks that deal BUD-based damage (such as Ultimate Attacks).
Specializations A

- Melf's Speedy Spawns - Melf magically increases enemy spawn speed by 50%, and Melf's Righteous Determination "evil" chance is increased by 25% additively (to a 75% chance).
- Melf's Doubled Drops - Melf magically increases the chance that an enemy will drop double quest items or count for two kills by 25%.
Specializations B
- Melf's Abundant Allies - Melf counts the most populous species among other Champions in the formation. Melf's Custom Support Spell is increased by 400% for each Champion of that species in the formation, stacking multiplicatively. If tied, all tied species count.
- Melf's Adaptive Attacks - Melf counts the most popular attack type among other Champions in the formation. Melf's Custom Support Spell is increased by 400% for each Champion in the formation with that type, stacking multiplicatively, and Melf changes his attack to match. If tied, all tied attack types count.
- Melf's Ranked Roles - Melf counts the most represented non-Support Role among the other Champions in the formation. Melf's Custom Support Spell is increased by 400% for each Champion in the formation with that role, stacking multiplicatively, and Melf gains the Role. If tied, all tied Roles count.
- Melf's Amorphous Alignment - Melf counts the most represented alignment on the Lawful/Chaotic axis among the other Champions in the formation. Melf's Custom Support Spell is increased by 400% for each Champion in the formation with that alignment, stacking multiplicatively, and Melf gains the alignment. If tied, all tied alignments count.
Ultimate Ability
- Melf's Minute Meteors (magic) - Melf summons six Minute Meteors that float around him. They are fired when he attacks normally and deal AOE BUD-based damage.
