Meroe is the main character in "The Trojan Girl." He is the co-leader of a pack of programs that live in the Amorph, a futuristic version of the Internet. He is the leader of a digital wolf pack. He and his pack live in the Amorph. Meroe is a strong leader. He is observant of the pack but also true to himself as an individual. What distinguishes him the most from the other members of his pack is that he is adaptive and open to change. When a new program in the form of a young girl is found, he takes a chance on her new feature of dreams and downloads it. As a result, he gains in complexity and learns how he has been hurting humans by downloading into their bodies and brains. He realizes that he does not want to be a wolf anymore. Meroe is an example of someone who is strong but also adaptive. It is his willingness to learn and curiosity about the new AI girl that allows him and his kind to evolve.
