Meloku (MEHL-oh-koo;[1] Japanese: メロク; rōmaji: Meroku) was a soratami ambassador to the human world at daimyo Konda's court in Eiganjo, and especially to the human students of the arcane at the Minamo School on Kamigawa.[2]

The wizard Meloku assisted Konda with the ritual of ripping That Which Was Taken from the spirit world, the crime that started the Kami War. It is hinted that Meloku could have been the one who suggested this to Konda to start the long-term plan of the soratami that should have ended with them taking over the whole of Kamigawa.

Some time before the Kami War, he found a dragon egg and brought it into his palace. The egg was later stolen by the akki Kiki-Jiki, who was sent there by Keiga, the dragon to whom the egg belonged.
