Fictional character.


== In the Sherlock Holmes stories ==

* Mr. Melas was a Greek by birth, living in London ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|122}}). He worked as a professional interpreter, especially for Greek. And also acted as a guide for wealthy foreign visitors ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|112}}).

* [[Mycroft Holmes]] brought him to the Diogenes Club to tell his tale ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|114}}).

* He was kidnapped by [[Harold Latimer]] who asked him to interpret for a Greek gentleman, [[Paul Kratides]] ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|120}}).

* When translating to Greek, Mr. Melas cleverly adds his own secret questions in Greek to draw out [[Paul Kratides]]'s identity and situation ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|192}}).

* When [[Sherlock Holmes]] and [[Mycroft Holmes]] started the investigation, [[Wilson Kemp]] kidnaped him again and forced him to interpret a second time ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|416}}).

* He was left bound and locked with [[Paul Kratides]] in a charcoal-filled room with poisonous exhalation. Rescued barely in time by [[Sherlock Holmes]], [[Dr. Watson]], [[Mycroft Holmes]], and [[Tobias Gregson|Inspector Gregson]] ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|400}}).
