Memen is a fictional character from the Philippine telefantasya Etheria, which is a prequel/sequel to the highly-rated Encantadia. Memen is played by Filipino actor Tonton Gutierrez.
Profile[]
Memen was a member of the Etherian royalty, but was only half-Etherian, one of his parents being a Diwata. He was brother to Barkus, leader of Hera Sensa, and the guardian of the tree of life, Evades. He was the husband of Queen Avria of Etheria with whom he had a daughter named Mine-a unknown to him was only obtained and adopted by Avria by conspiring with Barkus. Since he isn't purely an Etherian, he does not have a lot of abilities like his brothers so he ended up becoming a soldier for Hera Sensa until Avria, the newly crowned queen of Etheria chose him to be her husband. As fate had planned, Memen did not love his wife; he only felt true love when he met Ornia, a Diwata - a race deemed lowly by most Etherians. He ran off with her, an act which caused great shame to Avria. In fact, Avria became so enraged that she had her husband and his lover hunted down. The queen went as far as to order the slaughter of the Diwatas in a bid to flush Memen and Ornia out of hiding.
Memen sired a daughter with Ornia whom they named Cassiopea. This child was destined to be a savior of the Diwata race and would later become the founder and first queen of the kingdom of Lireo.
Memen and his beloved Ornia were killed by his nephew, the Etherian Animus, but when the Sang'gres changed the events Memen is instead killed by Avria.
Trivia[]
- In the first book, Memen (tagged as Cassiopea's father) also appeared in a flashback in which Ybrahim forced Bandok to narrate about the truth of Kabilan. Memen's outfit in the flashback from the first book is much different from the second book and he is portrayed by a different actor before Tonton Gutierrez.
