Meechiyel Elder (pronounced MEECH-ee-ehl), nicknamed Meech, was a young male refugee. He is the younger brother of Gydane. He lived at Haven in the onslaught of the Scanran War and followed his sister around when she was learning how to fight by Keladry of Mindelan and Tobeis Boon.
He always carried around a well-made doll. When he and the other refugees were captured and taken by Scanrans to help Blayce the Gallan make killing devices, Meech tore off hairs of his doll to leave a trail for Kel and the others to follow. He was rescued during the battle of Fief Rathhausak, along with the other children, including his sister Gydo.
