Soke Meh was taken and raised by Shinobi after they killed his family when he was born. He never found out why as his shinobi clan was wiped out fighting in the rikti war. His childhood was focused on making him a weapon good enough to take on a super-powered human.

As his skills are incomplete, with the untimely demise of his clan, he strives to gain more power any way possible. Fighting for money made ends meet, but without his clan to guide him, he ended up selling his skills to the highest bidder. He would did not care what the job was, as long as it paid well. The last job he took ended up to be an ambush by the cops and superheroes.

Arachnos had been keeping an eye on him, as Lord Recluse ordered it. Arachnos saw a way to breakout everyone in the Zig. Now free, but aware of Arachnos, he headed towards the Rogue Isles for a new life. In his time on the Rogue Isles, he started to hate the other villain factions as well as the heroes. Taking a big bite out of Malta and the Knives of Artemis as they are rivals in the same field. PPD, Longbow, the Council, Circle of Thorns, Carnival of Shadows, Vindicators, Freedom Phalanx, and Arachnos itself all fell to his sword. He was amassing power for his true goal, he wants revenge on the Rikti for death of his clan. Vanguard offered a chance to, legally, get revenge. The 5th Column's attack in Cimerora in the past angered him to no end. He joined the Midnighters to be able to time travel as well just to fight them. Emperor Cole and his army are the newest target for his blade. The Well of the Furies has made him an Incarnate of Death.






The teachings of ninjitsu burned into Soke Meh's brain by his sensei


The essence of all Martial Arts and military strategies is self protection and the prevention of danger. Ninjutsu epitomizes the fullest concept of self-protection through martial training in that the ninja art deals with the protection of not only the physical body, but the mind and spirit as well. The way of the ninja is the way of enduring, surviving, and prevailing over all that would destroy one. More than merely delivering strikes and slashes, and deeper in significance than the simple out-witting of an enemy; ninjutsu is the way off attaining that which we need while making the world a better place. The skill of the ninja is the art of winning.

In the beginning study of any combative art, proper motivation is crucial. Without the proper frame of mind, continuous exposure to fighting techniques can lead to ruin instead of self-development. But this fact is not different from any other beneficial practice in life carried to extremes. Medical science is dedicated to the betterment of health and the relief of suffering, and yet the misuse of drugs and the exultation of the physician’s skills can lead people to a state where an individual’s health is no longer within his or her personal control. A nutritious well-balanced diet works to keep a person alive, vital, and healthy, but grossly over-eating, over-drinking, or taking in too many chemicals is a sure way to poison the body. Governments are established to oversee the harmonious inter-working of all parts of society, but when the rulers become greedy, hungry for power, or lacking in wisdom, the country is subjected to needless wars, disorder or civil and economic chaos. A religion, when based on faith developed through experience, a broad and questing mind, and unflagging pursuit of universal understanding, is of inspiration and comfort to people. Once a religion loses its original focus, however, it becomes a deadly thing with which to deceive, control and tax the people through the manipulation of their beliefs and fears.

It is the same with the martial arts. The skills of self-protection, which should provide a feeling of inner peace and security for the martial artist, so often develop without a balance in the personality and lead the lesser martial artist into warped realms of unceasing conflict and competition which eventually consume him. If an expert in the fighting arts sincerely pursues the essence of ninjutsu, devoid of the influence of the ego’s desires, the student will progressively come to realize the ultimate secret for becoming invincible – the attainment of the “mind and eyes of god.” The combatant who would win must be in harmony with the scheme of totality, and must be guided by an intuitive knowledge of the playing out of fate. In tune with the providence of heaven and the impartial justice of nature, and following a clear and pure heart full of trust in the inevitable, the ninja captures the insight that will guide him successfully into battle when he must conquer and conceal himself protectively from hostility when he must acquiesce. The vast universe, beautiful in its coldly impersonal totality, contains all that we call good or bad, all the answers for all the paradoxes we see around us. By opening his eyes and his mind, the Ninja can responsively follow the subtle seasons and reasons of heaven, changing just as change is necessary, adapting always, so that in the end there is no such thing as a surprise for the ninja.
