Bio: Manus had been the head priest of the god Morpheus and an evil mystic. Recognizing Gabrielle as an innocent, he'd kidnapped her with the intent of sacrificing her as Morpheus's bride. To accomplish this, he'd put Gabrielle through a series of challenges in which she was supposed to kill, thus losing her blood innocence to his god. However, her friend Xena had made her way through Morpheus's Dreamscape, with help from former priest Elkton, and had advised Gabrielle on how to outwit her opponents. Unfortunately, the third and final challenge had been designed to force Gabrielle take up arms in defense of her own life, but thankfully, Xena had arrived in the nick of time to save not only Gabrielle's life but her blood innocence. Afterwards, Elkton had been restored as Morpheus's head priest, and as punishment for corrupting their order, Elkton had placed Manus in his own Dreamscape, where his past demons were to decide his fate.
