Toledo was born in Italy and moved to Langley Falls at some point, changing his name to Memphis Stormfront because he hated his real name and thought it suited his desire to be a weatherman better.
In "Anchorfran", Memphis is introduced as a replacement for former news reporter Dicky Dobbins, whom Terry Bates becomes smitten with. Francine thinks Terry is more suited to be with Greg Corbin, however and tries to get Memphis fired, only trying to get him back when realizing Memphis and Greg have good banter. He rejoins when threated by Francine who convinces him he can control the weather.

He makes various other cameo appearances but returns as the main antagonist in "Echoes." Stormfront was Steve's mentor after he signed up for a program, and with that Steve inherited Memphis' powers to se into the future. However, it gave Steve horrible visions and he wanted to end it so he looked at Stormfront for help. Stormfront told Steve he needed to destroy a sphere to make all of the visions go away, and when Steve does that at the climax of the episode, it is revealed that Memphis had been manipulating him this whole time, seeking the end of the world so that he can get special powers and rule over the vast Wasteland. When B'thazalon was finally released and started destroying the world, Memphis exclaimed how cool it looked, but was later killed by the very creature he sought out to release.
