Meteus

Meteus the Dark Manakete was an influential but villainous member of the Manakete species who was executed in the nation of Grust on Rhadan.

History
An indeterminate amount of time ago, Meteus was an influential member of the Manakete species who was executed in the nation of Grust on Rhadan. Ryoko Hakubi, who was known as the "The Monster Superior to Monsters" in Rhadanian legend, bore witness to his execution. Though most parties agreed that Meteus had died, he somehow continued to influence the Manaketes in the present.

In 150,081 CMT, one of Meteus's followers, a Manakete named Ozhel, aligned himself with Uterio in the Uterio War and took on the role of an informant to the Great Beings. Ozhel attempted to spy on Ryoko and Jake in a bar, but Ryoko recognized him as a Uterian sympathizer and attacked him. Ozhel lunged at Ryoko, roaring "You shall not defy Meteus", but a kick from the adventuress sent him flying out of the bar window. Outside, Ozhel used his Dragonstone to release his true dragon form to combat Jake and Ryoko, but the sudden appearance of Jeorge evened the odds between them. Ozhel continued to praise Meteus in their battle, shouting Meteus's name while lashing madly at the trio, but Ozhel proved to be much more mortal than the Manakete he worshipped, as Jeorge finished him off with three arrows to the throat.

Ryoko then teleported herself, Jake, and Jeorge to Grust to retrieve an old ally of theirs: Ymir. Ryoko asked a local old man where they could find Ymir, but the old man insulted the half-Goliath instead and voiced his doubt that Ryoko would know anything about Grust. In response, Ryoko recalled some of the major events in Grust's history, including the execution of Meteus. The old man was shocked because no-one would know that that Meteus was executed on Grust unless they were old enough to see it for themselves - so Ryoko revealed that she was.
