+ | '''Manoah''' is a widowed carpenter from the town of [[Zorah]] in Israel and the father of Hebrew judge [[Samson]]. By consequence, he is also grandfather to Samson's biological children, professional wrestler [[Zarah]] and series protagonist Branan. Like Samson and [[Delilah]], Manoah is an actual [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manoah historical personage] from Judeo-Christian scripture, whose story is recorded in chapters thirteen and fourteen of the book of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Judges Judges]. |
Being Branan's grandfather, Manoah is naturally the first person Branan wants to see when he begins his quest to retrace his father's legendary exploits through Palestine. When Branan arrives at Zorah to begin his search for his kinsman, he gets there just as [[Philistines|Philistine]] commander [[Sidon]] arrives with an army to loot the Zorahites' summer harvest. Branan rescues the villagers from the raid by launching melons at Sidon and his soldiers, who then bid a reluctant retreat amid the hail of produce. |
