Melchiresa, also known as Melkiresha, is a mysterious fallen angel, who is often paired up with fellow rebel Belial. According to some, he is also opposed to be the primeval figure of Melchizedek.
Overview[]
Melchiresa was a minor angel that lived among Belial's choir and fell from grace alongside his superior upon joining Lucifer's rebellion. Melchiresa was imprisoned by Saint Dunstan in an iron box for a thousand years. Saint Dunstan saw through Melchiresa's disguise and grabbed him by the ankle with red hot tongs before forcing the demon's head on his anvil to beat it with a hammer. Dunstan was eventually able to trap Melchiresa in a box and seal it with holy symbols.
The warlock Igor Bromhead delivered this box to Count Guarino and his wife Bellona, Satanists who believed Melchiresa was the devil, along with the key to unlock it. Once opened, Melchiresa emerged from the box as a fly and possesses Bellona and turned the Count into a monkey. The demon attempted to curse Bromhead as well, but was bound by Fierna, a daughter of Belial, with a charm to ward the curse and with Igor using Saint Dunstan's tongs to reveal that he knows Melchiresha's true name that forced the demon to submit.
Melchiresa would immediately join Fierna in her mission to locate her half-sister Illyana Roth in order to user her power to summon their father to the mortal realm.
