He worked as a professional interpreter, especially for Greek. And also acted as a guide for wealthy foreign visitors ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|112}}).<br /> <br /> * [[Mycroft Holmes]] brought him to the Diogenes Club to tell his tale ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|114}}).<br /> <br /> * He was kidnapped by [[Harold Latimer]] who asked him to interpret for a Greek gentleman, [[Paul Kratides]] ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|120}}).<br /> <br /> * When translating to Greek, Mr. Melas cleverly adds his own secret questions in Greek to draw out [[Paul Kratides]]&#039;s identity and situation ([[GREE]] {{refcanon|GREE|192}}).<br /> <br /> * 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}}).<br /> <br /> * 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}}).<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> [[Category:Characters (all stories)|Melas, Mr.]]<br /> [[Category:Characters (Sherlock Holmes stories)|Melas, Mr.]]<br /> [[Category:Clients|Melas, Mr.]]</div>
