Metrodorus of Thebes of House Jerbiton, was the originator of a eugenics like theory about purity of magical blood lines that lead to the Hereditary Controversy. He was marched along with three disciples by the Grand Tribunal of 1132 for the disruption his theory and his advocacy of it caused. The theory, was not denounced by the Grand Tribunal. His theory, and others related to magical and noble bloodlines, are of interest the Normandy Tribunal. Likely, the fact that he was a quaesitor was an additional issue for the magi of the time. More specific information on Matrodorus' theory can be found at pages 18-19 of The Lion and the Lily.

Given that he is associated with Thebes, but is included in The Lion and the Lily, it is unclear what tribunal(s) he may have resided in.
