Melik Daefir

Melik Daefir was born during the Common Era and lived as a member of a trackless merfolk tribe until scandal led him to the shore to begin a career in adventuring. This career led him to through time and space to eventually right all the wrongs caused by the entity known as the Valeyard. His friends moved on to their own goals, and so Melik returned to the sea to unite the tribes of his people. 
With the Chalice of Light in his hand and the gift of the Wayfinder, Melik led all the tribes of Merfolk in the Dragon's Bay to unite and create the first Parliament of Waves. A golden age for the merfolk began, but Melik was long in years. His goddess, Ner'mod, watched on from outside the Material Plane with tears of pride in her eyes. She requested that the Gray Order take Melik into their number as she nor any of her sisters had ever requested one of their champions to take on this honor.
When he ascended into the Order, Melik was hundreds of years old and hardly as spry or combat-worthy as he was in life. Outside of the world of Urz, Melik met his goddess who bestowed upon him her personal boon which gave him the youthful strength to serve as her champion and as an arbiter in the Order. He served in this way for decades before one day he learned his ally Xelbor also made it to this high honor. He was asked to serve in a task of great import to be headed up by Xelbor himself.
