Menthor

Menthor was the High Councilor of Echidnaopolis roughly 400 years ago. When he realized Edmund and Dimitri's plans to use the Chaos Syphon to reunite the Floating Island with the surface of Mobius would make them both heroes and thus ruin his own political ambitions, Menthor denied the brothers' petition strictly on those grounds, though officially stated it was because the plan was too dangerous. After Dimitri went ahead and used the Syphon anyways in defiance of this decision, he imprisoned both Menthor and Edmund in his Dark Tower, but was soon defeated by the Fire Ants. Menthor escaped from the collapsing structure with Edmund, and held back Menniker from running into it when the boy tried to save his father. (StH: #35, #36, KtE: #23)
 * Menthor was unnamed in his first appearances in StH #35 and StH #36, though was referenced as the High Councilor. His name was provided in KtE #23, and presumably he was the same High Councilor shown in the previous issues.
