Magnus was born in the jungle to his mother Twinge who was Queen at the time. His father, Atrox, was a Chamber man, but the only thing Atrox loved more than the kingdom he gave his heart for was the Amazonian Queen. Therefore, although Atrox had dozens of children, the only ones he truly ever spent time with were the ones from their pairing, and Magnus always knew that he (and the rest of his siblings) were the product of love.

Magnus grew up in the Amazons and made many friends there. He will always love the kingdom, perhaps more than any other land, and he has a deep appreciation for women because of it. Later, when he was older and it became clear that his ambitions would never be fully realized in the Amazons, he went to serve in the Chamber with his father. He became Lord there but he fell in love with the Princess of the Gates, Joelle. He left his home to go live with her, although he never thought he was good enough for the kingdom of light. Joelle’s father Liefde eventually stepped down and gave the crown to Joelle, naming Magnus as General to help look out for the kingdom.

Joelle later named him King to rule alongside her.

Over the years, he worked hard for the Gates, loving it for what it represented but always fearing that he was a black sheep within it. Eventually, the strain became too much and he gave into the darkest parts of himself, killing a young boy he found attacking two mares. The young boy ended up being his brother Makai.

Wild with grief, Magnus abandoned the kingdom and his family. He fled to the Dale where he became friends with Librette and Katana, losing himself in work and his growing hatred of the Valley. Joelle was later kidnapped by a stallion named Trashlip and it took both Katana and Magnus to get his family back. They took refuge in the Falls before returning home. Their reunion, however, was cut short. Shortly after, the pair of them were murdered.

Decades later, Magnus was brought back to life by a strange magic that tied him and his brother Makai together. He returned to the Gates where he served Mast and eventually became General again. When Zeik eventually came to take leadership, Magnus was furious at the stallion’s brashness and the meeting of the announcement grew increasingly tense. When Zeik banished Ellyse, who had been carrying Magnus’ child at the time, Magnus followed. Shortly after, the Reckoning happened. Furious at himself for not being with the kingdom, Magnus worked tirelessly to find a new home for the misplaced inhabitants. He petitioned the faeries alongside Offspring and founded Tephra with his new ally, including Malis and Eight. When the other founders stepped back, Magnus took the mantle of leader alone.

After decades of life, and death, time began to grow meaningless to Magnus and he disappeared for a while.

When he returned, Kromium had challenged for and won Tephra from Warrick. Although hesitant and unsure of his feelings about the young stallion, Magnus accepted the role of General once more.

He worked hard over the next year to recruit and build Tephra again, meeting several horses who agreed to join the land. He also fathered several children. When the Contagion happened, the kingdom gathered and Magnus could no longer ignore his concerns about Kromium. He called for a kingdom-wide vote and took over as leader of Tephra.

Since then, Magnus has been working diligently to stabilize his home while offering support to those in need. He has recently come to grow tired of feeling guilty for everything in his life and has decided to turn over a new leaf where he can live unapologetically, giving into some of his more base desires and enjoying life to the fullest.
