Minulis was the personal manservant of Vilnix Pompolnius. Lacking the courage to confront or resist his master's corrupt leadership, Minulis spent his entire career sucking up and attending to Vilnix's every whim. Towards the end of Vilnix's reign as Most High Academe, Minulis realized that the politics of Sanctaphrax were about to change, and began to secretly feed information to the Professor of Darkness on the High Academe's plans and activities. Once the city of Sanctaphrax was stabilized once more, Minulis spoke out openly against Vilnix as he attempted to bend the citizens to his will, and the mob of Sanctaphrax academics turned on their former High Academe, dethroning him.
