Memphis commands the Vile Tribe as a central antagonist, masterminding the abduction of magic school students to extort the Blue Dragon’s power. His oversized head fuels recurring visual humor during clashes, contrasting his self-serious demeanor. From a fortified base, he directs subordinates Barua and Minotaurus, whose chaotic incompetence routinely sabotages his schemes. Confronted by protagonists, he fixates on seizing the Blue Dragon’s might, oblivious to its absence at the school. The dragon’s sudden manifestation during their final showdown startles Memphis into panicked retreat. His intimidation tactics unravel further through absurd reveals, including a “lava pit” exposed as a placid hot spring.

Though framed initially as a dire threat, Memphis embodies comedic futility—his blustery demands and flailing underlings clash with his theatrical villainy. Ties to the Vile Tribe’s ambitions drive his actions, but no explored backstory contextualizes his motives beyond the immediate plot. His narrative arc concludes within the film’s events, absent expanded lore or subsequent appearances in other media.
