Mekare's prophecy addressed to Akasha
'Let the spirits witness, for theirs is the knowledge of the future both what it would be and what I will! You are the Queen of the Damned. Your only destiny is evil as well you know! But I shall stop you even if I must come back from the dead to do it. At the hour of your greatest menace it is I who will defeat you! Look well upon my face for you will see me again!'
(The Queen of the Damned)

Character description
'Mekare's strength is equal to mine if not greater. It is equal to the Mother's; and she may draw from her madness a ferocity which no one can now measure or contain.'
(The Queen of the Damned)

I found an interesting web site which explains the meaning behind names. I was shocked to discover they have most of the vampire's names there! It may not be an accurate meaning but why not look anyway, if only for fun.

Here are some interesting pictures of Mekare from the Innovation graphic novels. Please click on the thumbnails for a full size version.

This is an excellent drawing of Mekare drawn by my friend Christina. Danke Christina! (:

- My opinion of Mekare -
I think it is a great shame that Mekare appears to be insane. After all she was the one who confronted Akasha the most. It took great courage to do that and I'm sure she must have been a very interesting person. I think it is unlikely Anne will mention her in any detail again. Perhaps she will prove me wrong. By the way I love what she said in her prophecy. That's why I put it up here.

- Status of Mekare in the film The Queen of the Damned -
I believe Lena Olin will play her as well as Maharet, however Mekare's role is to drastically cut and she will only appear in brief flash backs. She will not be the one to destroy Akasha. Confused? Well...I don't understand it either!
