{{Quotation|factions|Born in [[Serenity Temple]] to a priest of [[Dwayna]] and priestess of [[Balthazar]], [[Mhenlo]] has been steeped in the teachings of healing and smiting magic. A devoted servant of both Dwayna and Balthazar, he has studied hard his entire life, and has been rewarded by both the gods of his provenance. But paying allegiance to two gods has not been without its consequences; having no clear path to follow, Mhenlo has a tendency to overanalyze situations and possible consequences, not sure whether to take the path of aggressive strength or that of defensive grace. 

Mhenlo spent much of his life inside Serenity Temple, paying homage to the old gods and studying the Path, which will lead him to enlightenment. He also spent a long stretch of his youth studying under [[Master Togo]] of [[Shing Jea Monastery]], where he was exposed to even more religious and philosophical teachings that made it no easier for the young [[monk]] to find a focus in life. But the teachings of Togo and the [[Ritualist]]’s wisdom made a deep impact on Mhenlo. When Master Togo sends a request for Mhenlo’s aid, the monk wastes no time gathering his friends and setting out for [[Cantha]].}}

As a henchman, he is labeled as a "[[Healer Henchman]]."

==Dialogue==
===Prophecies===
;Ashford Abbey:
:''"Greetings, my child. Can I help you today, or are you here to offer your services to those in need?"''

;Pockmark Flats:
:''Hello friend. May the light of [[Dwayna]] keep you safe on this day of turmoil.''

;The Deserters:
:''There is no time to talk! We must concentrate on the matters at hand.'' (bubble)

;Lion's Gate:
:''"I'm glad you made it, (character name). It seems we've arrived just in time. My people from [[Ascalon]] have been given refuge here in [[Kryta]] and as such, we are all cleared to enter the city of [[Lion's Arch]]. We've managed to convince [[Lionguard Neiro]] to allow you access as well... it was easy when we explained how you've come to help us fight the threat of the [[undead]] in Kryta. When you're ready to enter the city, let [[Lionguard Neiro]] know."''

;North Kryta Province:
:''I have some serious misgivings about the [[Mursaat|gods of the White Mantle]]. What power do they possess to cause the Krytans to abandon the worship of the gods of their forefathers?''  (bubble)

;Mhenlo's Request:
:''In my younger days, I trained in the distant land of [[Cantha]] at the famous [[Shing Jea Monastery]]. I studied under [[Master Togo]] himself...and he's almost as famous as the monastery he runs. Though it has been many years since I have seen [[Master Togo]] and [[Cantha]], its lands will remain in my heart always. I would not be the [[Monk]] I am today if not for the lessons I learned there.''

;Skyward Reach:
:''"There is no time to talk! We must concentrate on the matters at hand."''

;In outposts as a henchman:
:''"My mother was a priestess of [[Dwayna]], my father a priest of [[Balthazar]]. I walk a fine line between the teachings of both. I grew up in the shadow of Serenity Temple, and as anyone who had a similar childhood can attest to, there are advantages and disadvantages to having your spiritual well-being so closely monitored."''

;Droknar's Forge (explorable area):
:''"The gods seem to smile down on you at every turn. You are clearly blessed by the Five."''

===Factions===
;Default, non-mission, response:
:''"Keep your eyes open and your weapons at the ready, <character name>. Thugs and pickpockets have plenty of places to hide here, and they will be more than happy to take advantage of you."''

;Tahnnakai Temple (mission):
:''"This temple was once a place where those who were Closer to the Stars could gain further knowledge and power. We must return it to its sacred state so that we may consult the fallen heroes who've chosen to stay behind."''

;Arborstone (mission):
:''"Such beautiful architecture! It reminds me a bit of Ashford Abbey before the Searing.... Ah, but this is no time for reminiscing, is it? Let's keep moving."''

;Sunjiang District (mission):
:''"Pay attention to Master Togo. He knows what he is doing, and his knowledge will help us defeat Shiro."''

;Raisu Palace (mission):
:''"Master Togo is a man of great honor and loyalty. It is a privilege to fight beside him."''

;Imperial Sanctum (mission):
:''"This madness ends now."''

;Divine Path:
:''"Though we lost Master Togo, we can take solace in the fact that his sacrifice was not in vain. Thank you for your valiant service. If you should ever have need of me, send word my way and I will come."''

===Nightfall===
;Consulate Docks outpost:
''Greetings, [Character Name]. Ahai, as they say here in Istan. We heroes have come from afar to answer the call for aid the Sunspears sent out to the world. Through Tyria and Cantha have their own problems, we will not turn a blind eye to the evil that threaten to swallow our neighbors here in Elona.''
: {{yes|ingame}} '''I wish to travel to Tyria.''' (after unlocking travel there)

: {{yes|ingame}} '''I wish to travel to Cantha.''' (after unlocking travel there)
: ''If you have completed your business here in Elona and are ready to travel to Cantha, I have a ship prepared to carry us there immediately. Are you ready to travel to Cantha?''
:: {{yes|ingame}} '''Yes.''' (sent to [[Welcome to Cantha (cinematic)]])
:: {{no|ingame}} '''No.'''

;Other towns and outposts:
:''"My father was a priest of [[Dwayna]]. He told me tales of a voice that speaks in the darkness of our dreams. I sense that voice now beneath Elona's surface. My mother was a priestess of [[Balthazar]]. She taught me what to do with nightmares. You fight them. And you never give in."''

;Throne of Secrets:
:''"Your courage is inspirational. May Balthazar bless you for what you have done in these lands, hero."''

===Eye of the North===
;[[Far Shiverpeaks]] [[town]]s and [[outpost]]s:
:''"The lands north of [[Ascalon]] are colder than I thought. Frigid with snow and ice. But the warm companionship of new friends makes it comfortable. I could get used to these [[Norn]]."''

;[[Charr Homelands]] towns and outposts:
:''"I never thought I'd face the [[Charr]] again. Some things do not end until every enemy lies cold on the battlefield and the land is washed clean."''

;[[Tarnished Coast]] towns and outposts:
:''"I don't trust the [[Asura]]. How can anyone make friends with a race that spends all their time underground?"''

;[[Central Transfer Chamber]]:
:''"I'd rather have open sky above my head and moving air to breathe than be in these stale corridors and dark caverns."''

;Epilogue:
:''"I have journeyed from [[Ascalon]] to [[Cantha]] to [[Elona]]. I have battled [[undead]], braved a [[Afflicted|plague]], and defeated [[Abaddon|ancient gods]]. But my greatest deed will always be winning [[Cynn]]'s burning love."''

==Quotes==
===Prophecies===
;Southern Shiverpeaks:
:''"Idle hands make for an idle mind. We should be moving."''
:''"If my faith were shaken, one look at the Shiverpeaks would bring me right back around."''
:''"Snow really is a remarkable thing."''
:''"The mountain folk have a belief in what they call the [[Great Dwarf]]. Imagine that. A single god. How foolish."''

;Ring of Fire Island Chain:
:''"If ever we needed proof of the gods' fury, this is it."''
:''"There are some things in this life that I just do not understand. This place is one of them."''
:''"This place has been too long under the gaze of [[Grenth]]."''
:''"What sort of creature would WANT to live here?"''

===Nightfall===
:''"Cynn breaks people. I put them back together again. I'm not sure if that's a good start to a relationship, but at least we have something to work with."''
:''"Everything happens for a reason. We are all given purpose the moment we draw our first breath. Tell me... what is yours?"''
:''"I thought [[Ascalon]] was the world, but then I found [[Kryta]]. I walked through the mountains and found [[Elona]] waiting for me. I wonder what lies across the waves?"''
:''"It is so quiet here. If I didn't have the feeling we were being watched, I might like this place."''
:''"We're not in Ascalon any more."''
:''"You seem more than willing to kill for your beliefs. But tell me, are you willing to die for them?"''

===Eye of the North===
:''"A thin line divides the good from the evil in the psyche of a man. Your choices determine the path you take. Choose wisely."''
:''"All life is duality. Light and dark. Day and night. Good and evil. Mhenlo and Cynn!"''
:''""Come to the north," they said. "There are wonders to behold," they said. "It will be fun," they said. When will I ever learn?"''
:''"Dwayna guides me through the darkness into the light. Balthazar strengthens me by setting dark places in my path."''
:''"I have done so much in my life cycle yet I have not reached enlightenment. Perhaps the gods have higher things in store for me."''

===Battle quotes===
====Prophecies====
:''"By the might of Balthazar!"''
:''"Dwayna take your soul."''
:''"Into the rift with you, beast!"''
:''"May your passing from this realm be swift."''
:''"Say your prayers!"''

====Nightfall====
:''"[[Balthazar]]'s strength is my sword!"''
:''"Be guarded by [[Dwayna]]'s wings!"''
:''"Consider it done!"''
:''"I'm sorry, but you chose this path."''
:''"Keep your eyes open!"''
:''"Lead the way!"''
:''"Light guides me, but darkness taught me to fight!"''
:''"[[Lyssa]], free him of these chains!"''
:''"May [[Grenth]] protect your soul!"''
:''"On your knees!"''
:''"Over here! We have them on the run!"''
:''"Remember [[Master Togo]], and fight in his name!"''
:''"Take the strength of the stag, [[Melandru]]'s gift to you!"''
:''"When you reach [[the Mists]], pray for us all."''
:''"You will be cast down!"''

====Eye of the North====
:''"As you travel through the Mists, dwell on your past mistakes."''
:''"At the heart of the storm, there is silence. At the heart of battle, there is peace."'''
:''"Balthazar strike down our foes!"''
:''"Believe me, it is even colder where you are headed."''
:''"Close your eyes. I promise it will be over quickly."''
:''"Dwayna protect us!"''
:''"Facing your own mortality is difficult. Let me help."''
:''"Grenth will take your soul. Melandru, your body."''
:''"I have ventured into the night and returned. You shall not!"''
:''"Light is protection. For you there is only darkness."''
:''"Make your peace with the gods now, before it is too late."''
:''"May [[Kormir]]'s truth set you free!"''
:''"Perhaps your soul can be saved. Your body... that's another story."''
:''"Too hot. Too cold. When will it ever be just right?"''
:''"Your light grows dim."''

=====The Norn Fighting Tournament=====
:''"Sometime kindness hurts."''
:''"Balthazar, give me strength!"''
:''"Pray that Dwayna can mend what I'm about to do..."''
:''"You don't have a prayer! I, on the other hand..."''

==Notes==
* Mhenlo is one of the only five characters to appear in all 3 campaigns and the expansion. (The others are [[Aidan]], [[Cynn]], [[Devona]], and [[Eve]].) 
* Mhenlo and [[Cynn]] are in a relationship.
* Mhenlo is the only non-Canthan known to have ever studied in [[Shing Jea Monastery]].
* Several NPCs in the [[Echovald Forest]] seem to think that Mhenlo had died, perhaps during [[the Searing]].
* In the Manuscripts and Nightfall, Mhenlo states that his mother was a priestess of Balthazar and his father was a priest of Dwayna. However, in Prophecies, he says the opposite (i.e. that his mother was Dwayna's devotee and his father, Balthazar's). Neither statement has been verified by other sources.

==Trivia==
* Uses male [[ranger]] [[emote]]s instead of [[monk]] ones.
* Wears an armor set which resembles male [[Monk Tyrian armor]].
* Appears to be barefoot.
* The inside front of Mhenlo's robe is adorned with an [[w:Aum|Aum]] symbol.
* ''"We're not in Ascalon anymore"'' mirrors Dorothy's famous line from the [[W:Wizard of Oz|Wizard of Oz]], ''"We're not in Kansas anymore"''.
* His henchman skills were updated in the [[Game updates/20091022|22nd October 2009 update]].
