Mel Pappas

Proffessor Pappas was the father of Melinda Pappas and friend of Janice Covington. He was the 1924 Nobel Prize winner of Anthropology and graduated from the South Carolina University. He was an archaeologist who specialized in deciphering ancient languages.

Janice Covington sent him a telegram, asking for his help in searching for and ultimately deciphering the Xena Scrolls. When he died in 1941, his daughter Mel found the telegram and went along to help Janice instead.

He was mentioned in "The Xena Scrolls".
