Meala

Meala is the head maid of Iadon's palace in Arelon on Sel.
==Appearance and Personality==
She is young and thin, and very polite. Sarene thinks she looks more like an accountant than a maid.
==History==
Sarene questioned Meala about why her room was not being cleaned regularly. Meala told her that maids had been suddenly disappearing for no apparent reason. This was one of several factors that made Sarene suspicious of Iadon, and ultimately led to her discovery that he was a follower of the Jeskeri Mysteries and had been ritually sacrificing the missing maids.

Mederia

Mederia is a scholar from Roshar.
They wrote arguments which Shallan believed to be overconfident in relation to the amount of factual content backing them up, leading her to coin the phrase 'errorgant'. Jasnah explained to Shallan that Mederia's writings were an example of a larger trend known as the "Assuredness Movement" in which scholars intentionally overstated their case in order to provoke discussion on a given topic.

Meeker

Meekers are a rodent species on Patji that possess a rudimentary form of telepathy.
== Appearance ==
Meekers are quite small and mouselike in appearance. They have sharp teeth and a single pointed fang at the front of their mouths. This fang is poisonous enough to kill a man with one bite.
== Behavior and Abilities ==
Meekers are relatively intelligent, capable of following rudimentary instructions and have the ability to project thoughts. These thoughts are relatively simple, consisting mostly of requests for food or gratitude. Meekers are intelligent enough to be trained somewhat, but are incapable of responding to more complex questions. They seem to live in groups, creating dens that are home to multiple individual meekers.
== History ==
When the first trappers arrived in the isles, meekers were originally dangerous to men. Over the centuries they have become accustomed to trappers and are no longer a threat. Sixth of the Dusk has been attempting to train them to bite other trappers again by giving them pieces of dried meat.

Mel

Mel is a young barmaid at Jez's Duty in the Ten Rings section of Urithiru on Roshar.
On the day of Jor and Kryst's wedding party, Mel served Adolin, Shallan, and Kaladin drinks. After refilling Veil's glass, she took Kaladin's order; perplexed that he would only order an orange, she offered him some yellow. Veil chased her away, but when she returned with Kaladin's order, she offered him yellow again. This time Adolin spoke up to decline the offer, and Mel beamed at him, ecstatic to have a highprince speak to her.
==Notes==
Mela

Mela is a Windrunner on Roshar.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
As a Windrunner, Mela is able to heal herself with Stormlight and to use the Surges of Gravitation and Adhesion. She is competent at fighting with a spear.
== History ==
Mela was part of the force of Windrunners that went to Emul as part of the coalition's army. She accompanied Dalinar, Szeth, Sigzil, Lyn, Leyten, and another Windrunner to Tukar to meet with Ishar. When Ishar drew his Honorblade on Dalinar, the five Windrunners fought him. Ishar, however, a master duelist, managed to Connect each of them to the ground and drain away their Stormlight. Szeth countered Ishar's tactics by severing his Connections and collapsing Dalinar's perpendicularity with Nightblood, and Dalinar and the Windrunners Lashed themselves into the air.
After Szeth and Nightblood prompted Ishar to retreat into Shadesmar, the group returned to the ground and looked through Ishar's pavilion. They were perplexed by the strange corpses they found; after Mela called Dalinar over to a body, the Stormfather recognized it as a Cryptic and realized that all of the corpses were spren in bodies that should not be possible in the Physical Realm. The group grabbed whatever they could find in the tent that looked to be of use and quickly retreated to Emul.
== Notes ==
Melali

Melali is a brighteyed lady on the Shattered Plains.
==Appearance and Personality==
Adolin considers her to be quite pretty. She wears a traditional Vorin havah with her hair in complex braids, including hairspikes.
==History==
Melali and Adolin courted at one point, but Adolin did something, that he does not remember, that annoyed her, which lead to the end of their relationship.
She is present with Relis Ruthar when Adolin challenges him for his Shardblade. Melali is quite bitter towards Adolin, and insults him and Dalinar Kholin, saying that she was surprised Dalinar let him finally duel, as he might hurt himself. Adolin jokes that it is nice to see her too, and asks how Melali's sister is. Melali tartly responds that her sister is off limits, and Adolin remembers that her sister was the reason why Melali despised him so, presumably because Adolin flirted with her sister.
== Notes ==
Melend Liese

Melend Liese was a noble in the Final Empire. He is young, about Vin's age.
== History ==
Melend asked Vin, who was posing as Lady Valette Renoux, to dance at the ball at Keep Elariel. She accepted in an attempt to make Elend ask her to dance. Melend was overly formal, and proved himself to be not a very good dancer. He was initially intimidated by Vin, because of her association with Elend, but she told him that Elend was a family friend, and that Lord Renoux asked him to watch over her at the balls. Afterward, Melend relaxed and danced more easily. Vin asked him about Elend, who he knew very little about. He thought she was very good at dancing, and flirted with her. He let slip that Shan Elariel had been gossiping about her, but didn't say anymore. After a short dance, Melend led Vin back to her table. Afterward, he returned to a group of friends, and talked to them briefly about Vin. Shortly after, one of them came to ask Vin to dance.

Meleran Khal

Captainlord Meleran Khal is the youngest son of General Khal and Teshav.
== Appearance ==
Meleran Khal is a powerfully built man who is balding by his thirties. He is around the same height as Adolin.
== History ==
Meleran Khal was born the youngest son of Teshav and Khal sometime around 1144, after his brothers Halam and Aratin. Little of his history is known, but it likely he accompanied the rest of his family in the War of Reckoning and followed them to Urithiru.
While King Elhokar was infiltrating Kholinar, he asked Shallan Davar to use Lightweaving to disguise Adolin Kholin as Meleran Khal multiple times, since the two have a similar height.
== Notes ==

Melhi

Melhi is a Liveborn hacker.
She is snubbed by Kairominas, taking offence at Kai's epiphany of the Wode's steering him into a "perfect battle", and particularly at Kai's refusal to fight her. After this Melhi repeatedly hacks Kai's world and sends robots to fight him. This culminates in the creation of Sophie, a perfect human replica who Kai takes a liking to on a date ordered by the Wode to fulfill XinWey's Doctrine. She helps him defeat a robot sent by Melhi and then shoots herself under the command of Melhi.
== Notes ==
Melishi

Melishi is a historical Knight Radiant of the Order of Bondsmiths on Roshar.
==Attributes and Abilities==
Melishi was bonded to the Sibling, which allowed him to use the Surges of Tension and Adhesion. The Sibling was exceptionally selective regarding their bonded human, and mentions taking years to find a human that fit them exactly.
Melishi can presumably utilize the Surges similarly to others of his Order. For example, the Stormfather says that Melishi was able to see the Connections between people as Dalinar does. He also seems to be an expert regarding fabrials, based on the nature of Urithiru and the protections he put in place for the Sibling.
==History==
Melishi is thought to have lived several thousand years ago, and was likely the only Bondsmith of his generation. Like the other Radiants, he fought against the Voidbringers during the False Desolation; the book Words of Radiance stated that he was determined to destroy them using abilities unique to the Bondsmith order. His plan was related to the nature of the Heralds and he was not able to fully explain it to the other orders of Radiants. 
The Urithiru gem archive held some additional details about Melishi's plan. Melishi and other scholar Radiants of the time believed that the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram had Connected to the parsh and was supplying them with Voidlight, facilitating their Forms of Power. The Radiants intended to capture Ba-Ado-Mishram using Melishi's abilities and a perfect gemstone, denying them Voidlight and thus bringing the war to an end. However, Naze-daughter-Kuzodo was concerned about the unintended side effects of Melishi's actions. The specific outcome of Melishi's plan is not known, but the events surrounding this conflict are believed to be the basis of the legendary False Desolation. Sylphrena comments to Kaladin that when the parsh were "conquered", their Connection and Identity were damaged, creating what was known as "slaveform" for several millennia.
Melishi is also the creator of the barrier surrounding the Sibling's pillar at the heart of Urithiru, which is powered by four gemstone nodes throughout the tower. The Stormfather refers to the Sibling being hurt by humanity in the past and the Sibling expresses significant bitterness towards Melishi, blaming him for their loss of freedom and risking their life. The Sibling also had an aversion to fabrials since they involved imprisoning spren. However, at least some of Melishi's actions proved necessary to protect the Sibling and Urithiru from invasion. The Sibling somehow knew to end their bond with Melishi voluntarily before the Recreance so they would not become a deadeye, and they swore to never bond another human, only reluctantly bonding Navani out of necessity.

Mellis

Mellis is a Daysider who lives in Kezare, the capital of Lossand on Taldain. He is the husband of Senior Trackt Ais and the father of Melloni. 
== Appearance and Personality ==
Mellis has brown hair and tan skin. He is of average height, with an athletic build. He seems to support Ais in her work as a trackt, but is nervous about the danger it creates for their family. Mellis is Lossandin, unlike his wife Ais, who is Kerztian.
== History ==
Mellis lived in Lossand with Ais and Melloni. Due to Ais's long and irregular hours, he would take care of the household, performing tasks such as cooking meals and caring for Melloni.
After Ais apprehended Lokmlen, she returned home and was greeted by Mellis and Melloni. After Melloni went to bed, Ais told Mellis that Jedan had been killed during the pursuit. Mellis was empathetic, but he also showed Ais a note threatening her family that was left at their home. Ais believed the note to be an idle threat from Sharezan, but Mellis was worried. 
Ais became increasingly conflicted about her assignment as a bodyguard for Kenton and found herself in highly dangerous situations. At the same time, she came to believe that Sharezan was more powerful than she first thought, and she became worried about her family's safety. She told Mellis to take Melloni to an undisclosed location south of Kezare to seek sanctuary until Sharezan was caught. Mellis was hesitant since that meant the family might not be together for months. Ais was insistent, but Mellis stayed anyway.
Ais checked in with Mellis on her way to meet with Raagent.
Sharezan went to Ais's house to try to kill Mellis and Melloni as revenge on Ais but Kenton, who happened to have been there, saved their lives by using his sand to throw Sharezan through a wall. Mellis expressed regret for not leaving the city, as Ais had suggested.
When Ais told Mellis that she was going on a trip to the A'kar for spiritual guidance, he insisted on going with her even though Lossandins were not welcome in Ker Kedasha.
== Trivia ==
* In the unpublished prose version of White Sand, Ais was male, and Mellis was his wife.

Melloni

Melloni, often called Melly, is the daughter of Ais and Mellis. She lives in Kezare on the Dayside of Taldain.
== Appearance and Personality ==
Melloni is a young girl who appears to be around seven years old. She is seen wearing purple clothing and accessories, and she sleeps with a teddy bear under a purple blanket. She has brown hair worn in pigtails and tan skin like that of her parents; her mother is ethnically Kerztian and her father is Lossandin.
== History ==
Melloni was aware of her mother's dangerous profession as a trackt, and she sometimes worried that Ais would not come home safe. When the investigation into Sharezan began to heat up, Ais, fearing for their safety, tried to convince Mellis to take Melloni and seek refuge in the south. Mellis would not listen and stayed in Kezare with Melloni. Ais checked in with her family when she was able, including on her way to meet with Raagent.
After revealing his true identity to Ais, Sharezan went to her house in an attempt to kill Mellis and Melloni as retribution for Ais's investigation. However, Kenton happened to be there looking for Ais and saved their lives by using sand mastery to throw Sharezan through a wall. Mellis expressed regret that he had not fled Kezare with Melloni when Ais asked him to.
After Ais resigned her position as Senior Trackt, Melloni joined her family on a journey to Ker Kedasha where Ais hoped to find spiritual guidance from the A'kar.

Melu

Melu is a listener on Roshar.
== History ==
Melu was one of the first volunteers to try to take on warform after Venli successfully petitioned the Five for permission. She and a dozen others were successful in adopting the new form; immediately after the highstorm, the group heard battle drums announcing an attack on their family's city. Melu was excited at the prospect of a conflict and wanted to take the family's set of Shardplate and their Shardblade from Sharefel. Eshonai stopped her and instead resolved the conflict with the opposing family by a show of strength that convinced them they could not win. Melu and the others headed back to the city to train in their new forms. She expressed some irritation that she hadn't had an opportunity to show off her newfound strength but did agree that Eshonai's peaceful resolution had been better.
After the listeners unified and moved to Narak, Melu gained some level of command among the army. She helped Venli and Eshonai count the listener population, troops and civilians alike, requiring each to adopt stormform. Like the rest of the listener stormforms, she likely then participated in the Battle of Narak. Melu survived the battle to later be possessed by the Fused Aharat, effectively killing her. Just prior to her death, she questioned Ulim if the group of singers following Venli should seek shelter from the Everstorm which brought the Fused.

Mem

Mem is a washwoman in the employ of Mraize. 
==Appearance and Personality==
She appreciates Mraize's refined manner and his taste in clothing, and enjoys the fact that he does not require her to use a servant's entrance. She believes that the notion of servants being "invisible" is a fallacy since they are usually closely watched by the house steward and their master's guests, and notes that Mraize's associates are particulary wary. She enjoys her work and finds it fulfilling, since there will always be a need for clean clothes. 
==History==
Mem was quite skilled at the art of doing laundry, with knowledge of many different dyes, fabrics, and cleaners. She washed clothes at a central location in Vedenar with other washwomen. Mem successfully cleaned a particularly tough stain from the Mycalin-dyed pants of Mraize's Azish cavalrylord's suit; she thought the stain was a combination of oil and blood, but in truth it was aether. She earned herself a three-firemark bonus and high praise from Mraize. 
She briefly had Pom as an assistant, and thought she was surprisingly beautiful for a washgirl. She was flabbergasted when Pom destroyed one of Mraize's paintings, as she was not aware of Pom's true identity as the Herald Shalash. 
== Trivia ==
* She is a cameo for Emily Grange.

Mennis

Mennis is an elderly skaa from the Tresting plantation on Scadrial.
== Appearance and Personality ==
He has a bald skull and leathery skin. As one of the oldest workers on the plantation he feels responsible for the skaa there, and that is the only reason he hasn't given up living yet. He had trouble walking on his own and sometimes got assisted by younger men like Shum. 
When he joined the skaa rebellion, he felt like his life had purpose again. Mennis never expected that the rebellion would be able to overthrow the Final Empire, resisting the Lord Ruler was more important for him than actually winning.
== History ==
Kelsier meets him just before he kills Themos Tresting, but Mennis warns him not to cause too much trouble because he thinks that Kelsier will only make things worse. The next day, after the plantation skaa find out that Kelsier has killed all of Tresting's men, Mennis leads most of them to the Arguois caverns where other skaa rebels were already hiding.
Later on, after the remnants of the skaa rebellion have left the caves, Kelsier finds Mennis again in the group of two thousand skaa soldiers that refused to follow Yeden in the battle against the Holstep Garrison.
Mennis reveals to Kelsier that he is the one who urged the remaining rebels to be prepared for a sudden departure.
He then advises Kelsier to give up his dreams, because he already accomplished more than the skaa had managed in decades and that was something to be proud of.

Mercy

Mercy is a Shard of Adonalsium that has not been Splintered and whose Vessel is unknown.
== History ==
Mercy was created at the Shattering of Adonalsium and picked up by an unknown Vessel. It is not known what Mercy did directly after their Ascension, or where they settled, if they settled at all.
Mercy was involved in a battle between Odium and Ambition, which resulted in a wound upon the Spiritual Realm and ultimately in Ambition's Splintering. This clash had profound effects on Threnody. 
Some time around the True Desolation, Harmony reached out to Mercy about the threat posed by Odium, at Hoid's request, but became troubled by Mercy as a result of their exchange.
== Trivia ==
* Before Aona's Shard was known (and well before it was known that Mercy is a Shard), fans speculated that its Intent might be Mercy. It was later revealed Aona's Shard is Devotion.
