Melvi is an antagonist who first appears in 1935.
Melvi is actually a homunculus created from experiments conducted on Lord Avaro by the House of Dormentaire. He was the intended recipient of Szilard Quates' knowledge and memories and thus bears a deep hatred for Firo Prochainezo, who received those memories in Melvi's stead.
Melvi is serving as the main dealer at the Runorata Family's casino party at Ra's Lance in February 1935 in lieu of Carlotta. He is also the head of Time, one of Huey Laforet's factions, after usurping control from the Croquis. While he is officially affiliated with three organizations—Time, the Runorata Family, and the House of Dormentaire—he ultimately acts under the orders of his yet-to-be identified Master.
