Charges in to reposition his enemies.
A Magnoceros does not believe in chance, and the eruption of Mount Joerlak was no accident. For this reason Magnus set out, never to return to his kin until those responsible had been Impaled upon his horn. For enemies who are foolish enough to gather learn to fear the horn of Magnus. With a deep bellow, he Empowers his companions to strike beyond their normal scope, and devastates entire enemy columns with subterranean Shockwaves. Able to pull nearby foes together with his most remarkable ability, Reverse Polarity, dazed and immobilized, Magnus Skewers them with his horn to bring them before his merciless allies.

Bio

[edit]
No, I blame no one who covets my horn. But to desire more than sight of it is a guarantee of death.
▶️  Magnus, the Magnoceros
Alias:
Magnataur
The master-smiths of Mt. Joerlak agree on only a single point: that the horn of a magnoceros is more precious than any alloy. And of all such horns, the largest and sharpest belongs to the beast they call Magnus. For half a generation, Magnus took easy sport goring hunters come to claim the treasures of his kin. Each time he would return to his cave with hooves and horns stained red, until his Matriarch urged him and all their kin to seek refuge to the north beyond the shadow of the mountain. But Magnus scoffed, having never failed to defend his people. The magnoceroi would stay, he decided, for a magnoceros does not believe in chance… nor does it ever change its mind.

But when Mt. Joerlak erupted without warning, and half his kin perished in the fire and ash, Magnus changed his mind after all. The survivors pushed north, until they reached a blockade watched over by a hundred hunters armed with bow and steel. Magnus expected no less. He led his fiercest brothers and sisters in a charge against their enemies, and fought with a ferocity matched only by the fire-spewing mountain at his back. Meanwhile the magnoceros elders, mothers, and calves vanished into the drifts. The master-smiths are divided about what happened next.

Some say Magnus reunited with his kin, while others claim he suffered mortal injuries and expired alongside the body of his Matriarch. Neither theory is correct. Magnus did vow to rejoin his kin…but only after seeking out those responsible for the eruption of Mt. Joerlak and watching them die upon his horn, for a magnoceros does not believe in chance.

Trivia

[edit]
  • The name "Magnus" is Latin and translates to "great".
    • It was used as an honorific for certain esteemed Romans; the most famous being Pompey the great (Gnaeus Pompey Magnus).
    • Nowadays, it is a common name in in scandinavian countries.
    • Magnus' name may be a reference to the physical phenomenon known as the magnus effect.
  • Magnus' lore was written by Greg Kasavin of Supergiant Games.[1]
    • In Greg's original draft, the Magnoceri were a dying race due to the males having the tendency of killing the females after mating
    • This lead Magnus to go on a search for a new mate that could please him.
    • Magnus still has many rivalry lines directed towards female heroes referencing that original draft.
  • In electrical engineering, reverse polarity refers to a situation where the wires of an appliance are connected incorrectly.
    • This is achieved by connecting the live wire to the neutral side, and the neutral wire to the live side.
    • Partically, this means that the electricity first flows through the appliance, rather than to the on/off switch, effectively turning the device itself into an extention of the live wire.
