Magnus the red

She is a being known as a primarch, and the primarchs were the twenty daughters made by the being known as the Emperor of Mankind to serve as her generals with different unique skills to act in various roles as they marched among the stars to reclaim it in the name of humanity. However, each primarch was stolen by the gods of Chaos and sent to different planets where each of them were presented with a wide range of philosophies. Magnus landed on the planet Prospero where her great psyker powers were nurtured and allowed to grow due to the fact that he landed on a planet whose society was mainly psykers. She brought Propsero into a new age of peace by exterminating the beasts that perilled the inhabitants of Prospero. Not too long after that her father the Emperor showed up, gave him her legion, and off they went. .

Magnus is arrogant, a know it all, stubborn, elitist, and condescending. These are all characteristics that would make me hate most other characters in random other media within thirty seconds of them breathing for the first time on screen. Yet, somehow out of a cast of eighteen other god-like beings he becomes my second favorite out of all of them. Why? To get a sense of exactly who Magnus is I have a quote from The First Heretic by Aaron Dembski-Bowden,

“Forgive me. My choler is kindled, and my control lacking. You’re right.’ ‘

I always am,’ Magnus smiled. ‘It’s a habit.” Magnus is the type of character who made a deal with a super powerful entity in the Warp and thought she could outwit something that could solve problems he couldn’t solve himself. She has one eye because he had to give it up to deal with the flesh change that continued to kill her daughters left and right and came out thinking she could hoodwink something that basically snapped its eldritch abomination fingers to fix something the two of the smartest people were left perplexed by. The worst thing about it all is that out of her brothers she isn’t even the one with the most book smarts. She has a larger drive to learn, but she doesn’t know more than every single one. That was given to Perturabo of all people, who Magnus questions if she got the math right on an evacuation Magnus was supposed to be leading and not Perturabo (that’s the Iron Warriors for you though).

This level of arrogance would have me frothing in sheer anger at nearly anyone else. Yet the planets somehow aligned and I fell deeper in love with the character. When I really looked into it I realized what separates Magnus from most of these types of characters is really three core things.

Despite her rampant arrogance, she means well. she does genuinely care about others and shows it fairly often (even if she has a tendency to put her foot in her mouth frequently). her great humbling and fall that leads to the tragicness of her overall character. In recent times she has been receiving visions of catastrophe. Yet her desire grows, she must take her mind off of these visions. And the easiest way is to be so horny nothing else matters. Most recently the flesh change has left her body changed, her once tight vagina, now replaced with a massive cock, her balls swell by the minute, the pain is only lifted when emptying them.

After receiving visions from the warp, Magnus is trying to have sex to take her mind off of the matters.
