Mael

Mael was a character on.

He drugged his father, Anteus, to trick him into thinking that his God told him to sacrifice his younger brother, Ikus. It was actually Mael who was taking the guise of his father's God telling him to sacrifice Ikus, the reason being jealousy. Mael claimed that Anteus loved Ikus more than him (and his God), and so tehy should both be sanctioned for this. Xena and Gabrielle stopped Mael's malicious attempt, and Xena even tried to save him when he hanged from a cliff. Mael let go and comitted suicide. Willing to sentence his own brother to death, drugging his father and finally comitting suicide, it was clear that Mael was a psychopath.

He was played by Karl Urban.
