</tabber>
==Summary==
One of Kain's seven lieutenants, Melchiah ruled over the Melchiahim clan, serving Kain for centuries until his departure from that time. Born with the least part of Kain's soul, the Melchiahim were weak, and subject to decay of their flesh over time. They studied alchemy and necromancy to seek a way to stop their curse, but degenerated across the following centuries into little more than beasts, and Melchiah was ultimately slain by Raziel in his quest for revenge.
