“That fool could not keep his allegiances straight if they were made of unbendable steel.”

― Hilla, talking to Gelimer about Magnus

Magnus is a servant of Gerand Darmoor and a former Commander of the Black Mage.

Story[]

Warrior of the Nova[]

Magnus was Nova warrior and a close friend of the Former Kaiser. The two fought in many battles together, including one against the Cloud Guardians of the Fox God, though Magnus abandoned Kaiser and left him surrounded by the enemy during this battle.

Eventually, Magnus was exiled by the Nova for unknown reasons. Soon after, Magnus encountered Gerand Darmoor, the Transcendent of Life. Upon feeling the immense aura of death radiating from Darmoor, Magnus experienced true fear for the first time and pledged loyalty to Darmoor in exchange for receiving the power to become the strongest warrior in Grandis.

Corrupting the Guardians[]

Under Darmoor's orders, Magnus was ordered to take the Nova capital city of Heliseum for the High Flora. In order to take the city, Magnus planned to corrupt the Guardians of Heliseum.

Magnus learned that one of the three Guardians, Victor, had grown mad from grief at the death of his fiancée, locking himself away in his workshop and painting her picture over and over again. Magnus anonymously gave Victor a magical canvas said to bring anything painted upon it to reality. Victor earnestly drew his fiancée, though the canvas continued creating only dolls of her.

Over time, Victor felt his soul being bound to the canvas as he compulsively kept drawing upon it. Eventually, Victor took his own life in order to end his pain. Unbeknownst to the Nova, however, Victor's soul remained trapped within the magical canvas, forced to mindlessly paint new minions for Magnus' army.

Magnus also learned that another Guardian, Treglow, was an expert scientist who specialized in chemistry. Despite being celebrated by the Nova, his thirst for achievement was insatiable, which Magnus took advantage of by sending spies to support his research for a long time, procuring books and materials from the High Flora that were difficult to obtain.

Eventually, Magnus gave Treglow a cursed reagent several days before the fall of Heliseum, which he had claimed was extremely useful. Because of the cursed reagent, Treglow lost his mind, resulting in him obeying Magnus' orders blindly in his madness.

Fall of Heliseum[]

Having corrupted two of the three Guardians, Magnus led the Specter army to seize Heliseum. During the battle Magnus wiped out the Nova royal family, though, unbeknownst to him, the Nova princess was taken to safety.

Soon after Magnus took the city, Kaiser arrived on the scene, believing that the battle was still going on. At the city outskirts, Kaiser encountered Magnus and believed that his old friend had returned from exile to aid Heliseum. When Kaiser let his guard down, Magnus immediately cut him with his poisoned blade.

Though he was dying by the moment, Kaiser attempted to buy time for the survivors of Heliseum to escape to the sanctuary city of Pantheon. He engaged Magnus and the Specter army alone in a fierce battle, and though Kaiser managed to cut off one of Magnus' horns and left a scar on his eye, he knew that he would soon succumb to the poison.

Realizing that there was only one way to stop Magnus, Kaiser sacrificed his life in a fiery explosion that wiped out the Specter army and severely injured Magnus, who was only able to survive through the power that he had received from Darmoor. Magnus fled the scene, but not before he stole Kaiser's legendary sword, Kaiserium.

Magnus then returned to Darmoor and received treatment for his injuries, which inadvertently resulted in his lifespan being shortened. Darmoor then ordered Magnus to travel through one of the Interdimensional Portals that had been created through Darmoor stealing and using the powers of Chronica, the Transcendent of Time.

Serving the Black Mage[]

Immediately upon arriving in Maple World, Magnus encountered a burning city. After wandering Maple World, he came across Guwaru, who immediately recognized that his foreign energy meant that he came from another world. After learning that Guwaru was the King of Spirits, Magnus believed that Guwaru's energy would be useful to him later.

He then asked Guwaru who had been responsible for the burning city that he had encountered. Guwaru told him that the Black Mage had destroyed it, as he was planning to destroy their world in order to create a better one in its place. On Magnus' request, Guwaru brought him before the Black Mage. Realizing that the Black Mage was just like Darmoor, Magnus pledged himself to the Black Mage, explaining that he believed in the Black Mage's strength, and that he would follow that strength.

During the final battle at the Temple of Time, Magnus stabbed Guwaru, who was distracted by Luminous' arrival. He then absorbed the gemstone inside Guwaru that contained his powers, which he used to restore his lifespan back to normal. Declaring that he was done with Maple World, Magnus abandoned the Black Mage and used the newly-created Interdimensional Portal, which had appeared when the Black Mage had stolen and used the power of Rhinne, to return back to Grandis.

Attacking Pantheon[]

After returning back to Grandis, Magnus continued to rule Heliseum, wiping out every Nova who was unable to flee during the invasion. He then filled Heliseum with his Specter army, most of which were low-level, unintelligent monsters that wandered the city without enemies to fight. With the Specters guarding the city and the Guardians of Heliseum holding the castle, Magnus locked himself in the throne room and began attempting to claim the power of the Outrigger, a holy relic given to his people by the Ancient Gods of the Nova.

For decades, Magnus tried and failed to claim the divine power within the Outrigger, though the relic continued to resist him, Meanwhile, the Nova - thanks to Kaiser's sacrifice - had been able to transfer a portion of the Outrigger's power into four sacred stones, which were used to create a Protective Shield around Pantheon, preventing Magnus and his army from entering.

Hoping to break into Pantheon, Magnus lured several Nova priests to his side and ordered them to steal the sacred stones. During the priests' operation, a boy named Kyle awakened as the next Kaiser, while a girl named Tear fused with one of the sacred stones and used its power to become a superheroine named Angelic Buster. Nevertheless, the priests continued their plan and successfully stole another sacred stone, which shut down the Protective Shield. Magnus immediately began to prepare for his assault on Pantheon, while the Nova mobilized their defenses.

Magnus sent a small number of his forces to the eastern border of Pantheon, though this was merely a feint to distract the Nova from a summoning ritual that his forces were conducting in the south, which would allow the entire Specter army to teleport straight from Heliseum to Pantheon. Thanks to the efforts of Kaiser and Angelic Buster, the Nova were successfully able to repel Magnus' forces and recover the missing sacred stone.

Kaiser then formulated a plan to lure Magnus' entire army by shutting down the Protective Shield and allowing the Specters to complete their teleportation ritual. Magnus immediately took the bait and sent all his forces to Pantheon, where the entire Specter army was vaporized when the shield came back up.

Following the battle, Magnus personally came to the Pantheon border and encountered Kaiser, Angelic Buster, and their friend, Velderoth. Magnus laughed disdainfully and noted that Kaiser was quite weak compared to his predecessor, adding that even the Nova themselves had grown weak over the years.

Though the three of them attempted to attack Magnus in his weakened state, they were shocked to discover that Magnus was much stronger than them. Just then, Cartalion arrived and immediately summoned reinforcements to capture Magnus. However, Magnus told Cartalion that he wasn't in the mood for another fight and quickly retreated.

In the aftermath of the battle, Velderoth, who had grown jealous of Kaiser, left Pantheon and sought out Magnus, who made him the third Guardian of Heliseum and bestowed power to him that would allow him to match Kaiser in battle. Despite his forces being decimated, Magnus refused to ask for reinforcements from Darmoor out of pride.

Facing Cadena[]

Over the decades, Magnus built a working relationship with Mr. Hazard, the right-hand to the leader of the Shadowdealers. From Hazard, Magnus was able to purchase many weapons off the black market, some of which had been manufactured by the Angler Company. Mr. Hazard soon made a ploy to seize control of the Savage Terminal branch of the Shadowdealers and create a bioweapon called the Heliogene Device, which would destroy all of Savage Terminal upon its completion.

However, Hazard was defeated by Cadena - the lost princess of the Nova. After his defeat, the Savage Terminal branch inherited many of Hazard's contracts, including the one that he had with Magnus. Cadena was then sent to complete a trade deal, though she was unaware that the deal was with Magnus.

On the day of the trade, she made her way to the trade site and found a large pouch of payment. Just as she placed the shipment on the ground, she began feeling as though she was being watched. Suddenly, the ground began to quake and dozens of Specters appeared. Cadena fought off droves of them, but there seemed to be no end.

Just then, Magnus appeared and asked her why she was attacking his minions when he had come to trade. Cadena immediately recognized him as the man from her nightmares, the same one who had destroyed her life decades ago. She immediately charged at him, but Magnus easily defeated her, knocking her unconscious. Before Magnus could finish her off, however, Gen - the leader of the Savage Terminal branch - extracted Cadena and brought her to safety.

Dimensional Invasion[]

After Gelimer betrayed Orchid and joined the Black Mage, Hilla ordered Gelimer to help her invade Grandis, as she believed that Magnus had betrayed the Black Mage. With his special Crimson Interdimensional Portals, Gelimer and Hilla were able to bring their invasion army to Grandis. In response, Magnus sent his Specter army to repel Hilla's forces.

During the battle, Hilla managed to enter Tyrant's Castle and confronted Magnus, where she gave him one final chance to explain himself. She asked Magnus why he had never bothered to attend the Commander meetings, even though he was alive and well, and asked if he opposed the Black Mage's will. Magnus simply laughed and asked if the seal would be broken soon before congratulating the Commanders for all that they had accomplished thus far.

Hilla told him to keep his mouth shut, but Magnus was merely amused that he seemed to have struck a nerve. He reminded Hilla that he had never promised his utmost loyalty to the Black Mage and explained that Gerand Darmoor used very different methods than the Black Mage, adding that he wouldn't embarrass himself further by continuing to play a part in such a ridiculous masquerade.

Hilla appeared genuinely upset by Magnus' betrayal and, holding back tears, she told him that it was only right to call him an enemy, swearing that she would take back everything that the Black Mage had given him. Magnus sneered and replied that it should have been that way all along, as he could use a good fight. They then engaged in a fierce battle, the outcome of which was unknown.

Siege of Heliseum[]

After the Dimensional Invasion crisis, the Nova and the Alliance launched a joint attack to retake Heliseum. The Alliance was able to push into the city and enter Tyrant's Castle, where they defeated Victor, Treglow, and Velderoth before facing Magnus, who was attempting once again to absorb the power of the Outrigger. However, Magnus was quickly pushed back by the relic, causing him to seethe in fury that he had failed once again. He then cursed the Ancient Gods of the Nova and demanded to know why they continued to reject him, despite having taken the Nova throne.

He then wondered whether they were rejecting him because he had betrayed the Nova, sighing to himself that he should have found a way to take the sacred stones of the Nova and transfer the rest of the Outrigger's power into them. Nevertheless, he declared that he would never give up, and that the Ancient Gods' power would be his. He then declared that he would kill every single Nova in the world, even if it meant that he would be the only one left.

Just then, one member of the Alliance confronted him and vowed to stop him. Magnus was surprised to see them and wondered whether Heliseum's defenses had been breached. He angrily seethed that the Guardians were all useless – even Velderoth, who had originally seemed promising to him. However, he laughed that a fight would be more entertaining, as he was sick of trying to absorb the holy relic.[4][5]

Magnus and the Alliance member then fought in a fierce battle, during which, Magnus lost control of Guwaru's power, allowing it to flow back into him on Maple World. After the Alliance member emerged victorious, Magnus expressed his shock that he had lost, claiming that it couldn't be over yet when he still had work to finish. Suddenly, a large, mysterious vortex appeared and sucked in both Magnus and the Outrigger, causing them to disappear from the throne room, leaving behind only the cursed Kaiserium, which was reclaimed and later uncorrupted by Kaiser.

FriendStory[]

Magnus' counterpart on Earth is the PE teacher of Shinsoo International School and has an antagonistic relationship with Hilla, the school nurse.

Hilla and Magnus Sittin' in a Tree[]

Despite secretly harboring feelings for each other, both Magnus and Hilla strictly enforced the no-dating policy at school, causing several of the students to set them up together so that the two wouldn't interfere with dating at school.

Hawkeye then asked a traveler, who had secretly switched roles with an actual student at the school, to ask Magnus about what he thought of Hilla. Magnus told the traveler that he couldn't stand Hilla because of her temper. The students then decided to change the environment around the school to subliminally make the two fall for each other by posting photos around the school and online.

Soon after, the traveler mixed Flu Virus bottles into Magnus' water bottle and Hilla's mug, causing them to both grow sick together, which furthered the rumors of the two secretly dating and missing work together. Later on, the traveler met Magnus in the staff room and insinuated that it was fate that he and Hilla always ran into each other and argued. Due to the traveler's actions, Magnus and Hilla slowly began to acknowledge their feelings for each other in their minds.

Hoping to create a time of crisis to bring them together, the traveler attacked Magnus with soccer balls in order to injure him, though Magnus proved to be too strong for them. Soon after, the traveler mixed a chemical inside Magnus' drink, causing him to pass out. They then brought him to Hilla, who tenderly took care of him.

The next day, Magnus and Hilla were lured to a park, where the students had set up a romantic date for them. Though Magnus and Hilla admitted their feelings and kissed, Arkarium the biology teacher arrived and confronted the pair, who immediately denied their feeling for each other. Despite breaking up, however, Magnus and Hilla still found themselves thinking about each other.

If the Hidden Mission of Episode 3 is found and completed, a bonus scene at the end is added in which Hilla, with her hair down, invites Magnus to the movies, which he accepts, confirming that they're still dating in secret.

Damien and the Spirit of Rock[]

During the school festival, Magnus was one of the judges for the battle of the bands and rated Damien's band highly. He began to tell Hilla about his time in a cover band in his youth, though an uninterested Hilla merely told him to give his score, to which Magnus gave Damien's band a perfect 10.

After Damien's band finished and the lights went out, Magnus asked Hilla to hold him, though Hilla merely told him to act like an adult. Following Irena and her band's performance, Magnus also rated their performance a perfect 10.

Trivia[]

  • Magnus is Latin for "great." Also, a historical figure named Magnus was a Roman Usurper who tried to overthrow Maximinus Thrax from the throne.

  • On hard mode, Magnus' icon glows red.
  • The Two-Handed Sword Kaiserion is based on Magnus' sword the Kaiserium.
  • In Cadena's story, he is shown with 1 horn, but his illustration has him with both horns intact.
