He wants to see his long lost brother Nakratos who was encased in ice. Telling the students to leave and head back to Geo, he rushes back to a secret area, where he meets with the snow witch Crystalle and asks if his brother is still alive. She replies of the affirmative, stating he's the one telling everyone he's dead. She then adds he must have acclimated to the frigid temperatures as of now and turn into a snow monster. He's now resting at the garden of icicle flowers, but Mephianse wants to send him to the Underworld along with his wife. Nakratos is slain by the protagonist and Mephianse rewards them with a Rusty Anchor artifact.

After taking care of his mildly annoying grunts, Kathinja and the hero watch in bewilderment as the cannon shoots up multiple fireworks.

General information[edit]
Physical appearance[edit]
Personality[edit]
In juxtaposition to his grim, sombre and hostile appearance, Mephianse is in possession of a character that is notably benevolent, fun-loving and friendly.
Mephianse's benevolence particularly shines through in Can't Look Back, where he proves to be immensely responsible in ensuring the welfare of the students accompanying him on his trip to the torturous Fieg Snowfields; while searching for clues leading to the discovery of his missing brother, he keeps his students from risking death by insisting that they remain in front of an enchanted fire in a makeshift campsite. Mephianse's generosity is also explicated in Alexandrite, where he permits Pearl to retrieve a key to Diana's heart from his office without questioning her motives.
Mephianse's love for fun is quite phenomenal, as he is known to go to fairly extreme lengths in order to entertain himself. This is best illustrated in Reach for the Stars, where he stages an elaborate prank to dupe Kathinja into believing that he intends on casting a terrible spell from a "forbidden spell book" in Duma Desert, when all he has planned on doing is enact a firework display.
