Melheis Boran

Melheis Boran (メルヘイス・ボラン) is one of the Seven Demon Elders created by Anos Voldigoad.

History
2,000 years ago, Anos created 7 demons from his own blood, which would later become known as the Seven Demon Elders, among which was Melheis. After Anos' sacrifice, the seven co-operated with the Hero Kanon to create the fictional Demon King Avos Dilhevia, with the intention of averting humanity's hatred of Anos when he reincarnated. Kanon then fused his sources with 6 out of the 7 demon elders, excluding Melheis since his last remaining source belonged to himself. Since the Elders could not lie to Anos, Kanon erased their memories so that Anos wouldn't discover their plan if they ever came into contact after reincarnating.

When Melheis regained consciousness, he found himself in the Great Spirit Forest Aharthern with no memories of how he got there, thinking he ended up there trying to escape from whoever erased his memory. There, he waited for 100 years before regaining enough power to climb back over to Dilhade. Sometime after returning to the demon nation, Melheis began supporting the unification faction.

Demon Sword Tournament Arc
After Misa Ilioroagu brought the reincarnated Anos to Melheis, he fell down to his knees and shed tears, recognizing his former master through his Magic Eyes. But with Melheis' memories erased, Anos wasn't able to learn much about Avos Dilhevia or the revised history. At night, Melheis was ambushed by an unknown person, who forced the Sword of Subordination into him and made him turn against Anos.

After Anos defeated Lay in the tournament finals, Melheis revealed himself and sent them to another dimension where he planned on ambushing Anos. However, Lay didn't die after being defeated by Anos and helps him against Melheis, causing the latter to reveal that he took Lay's mother hostage and that by breaking several gems, he can end her existence as a spirit. But both Anos and Lay told Melheis that he could kill her, creating enough confusion for Lay to break into the dimension where she was held at. Melheis then fires Beno Yeven at Lay and his mom to force Anos to divert more magic power to protect the two.

As Anos began overusing his magic power to defend himself and Lay, Melheis started to gloat about the inevitability of their defeat but became shocked after seeing Lay using his mother's spirit sword form to slash through Beno Yeven and his "Dimensional Prison" sub-space, before scratching his face with the sword slash. While Melheis gloated that he had more than enough Beno Yeven reserves left, Anos appeared behind him, as he had managed to track down Melheis' due to the spirit sword scratch that was left on his cheek. Melheis then trapped Anos inside of a Beno Yeven barrier silo and gloated about his victory. However, he was shocked to see that Anos was able to survive the silo's explosion.

Anos then summoned Venuzdonoa and revealed that after reincarnating, he could only access 1/10 of his magic power; but thanks to the effects of the Spirit Drain Ring and Beno Yeven, his Source of Destruction was awakened and he regained all of his magic power. He then sent a sword slash from Venuzdonoa to Melheis, who successfully dodged the attack. However, his body was suddenly split into two, as his body was still slashed due to the fact that Venuzdonoa destroyed the reason that avoiding the attack meant dodging it.

Despite Melheis' resistance, Anos was able to repel his attacks with Venuzdonoa and use it to pierce into his skull in order to destroy the Sword of Subordination embedded inside of him. Melheis regained control of himself and explained what happened to him after meeting with Anos. He also summoned Gaios Anzem and Ydol Anzeo, who were killed by Lay previously, allowing Anos to separate their sources from the sources that were controlling them. When Anos tried to revive the latter ones in order to extract information about Avos Dilhevia, an unknown figure appeared to destroy them after breaking into the Dimension Prison, which Melheis commented shouldn't be possible. After the figure left, Anos instructed Melheis to resurrect Gaios and Ydol, as well as to undo the Dimension Prison so that they could return to the real world.

Hero Academy Arc
The day before the members of the Demon King Academy left for Azeshion, Anos called Melheis to discuss the recent events and commented on the fact that Melheis was the only one of the Seven Demons Elder whose source wasn't fused and taken over. After they speculated over Avos Dilhevia's motives, Melheis urged Anos to be cautious over their upcoming inter-academy exchange as he had suspicions about the Hero Academy due to the fact that they were training reincarnated Heroes long after the Great War had ended.

Many days later, when Kanon's reincarnation played the role "Avos Dilhevia" and declared war on Azeshion, involving the citizens of the present in a war from 2,000 years ago, Anos gathered his friends and close aides. Melheis was among the four Demon Elders who were on Anos' side, and they followed him to where Avos' army was stationed at. While Anos headed towards the main castle, Melheis and the others stayed to fight the other three Demon Elders who sided with Avos.

When everything was over, Anos teleported everyone back to Dilhade.
