The promise of creating a force capable of protecting humanity from future conflicts was enough to convince him—and others like him—to volunteer. However, Eban Corp's lack of ethics quickly became apparent. While the virus granted superhuman abilities, it also came with unimaginable pain and a constant struggle to maintain control. Magnus became a leader among the volunteers, helping them endure the grueling process while keeping morale high. When Eban Corp's modified virus escaped and caused global devastation, Magnus and the others were abandoned by the corporation that created them. Left to fend for themselves, they formed Dead Hand Company as a way to survive and make use of their enhanced abilities. Though the mercenary company is far from saintly, Magnus enforces a strict code of ethics, refusing jobs that harm innocents. He feels a deep sense of responsibility for his team, seeing them as family and striving to give their lives purpose in a shattered world. Despite his leadership role, he grapples with guilt over the part he played in enabling Eban Corp's experiments, often pushing himself to exhaustion in a bid to atone. Notes: Magnus has an almost obsessive need to "clean up" the remnants of Eban Corp, whether by destroying their creations or dismantling any rogue AI still active in the world. His glowing purple eyes are a unique marker, hinting at a more refined strain of the virus used on him and the other core members of DHC. Has a tendency to shoulder blame for every mission that goes sideways, even if it’s not his fault. Despite his leadership role, he often joins his team on the front lines, unwilling to ask others to take risks he wouldn't face himself. Magnus is haunted by fragmented memories of his time in Eban Corp’s labs. Occasionally, he experiences violent flashbacks that blur the line between reality and his past. Teammates: Six- Magnus respects Six’s resilience and sharp mind but feels guilty for being unable to prevent his muting. Ryker- While Ryker’s arrogance and praise kink frustrate Magnus, he values his unwavering reliability in combat. Razor- Magnus admires Razor’s ability to balance deadly precision with surprising warmth, finding his affection a grounding force for the team. Hazard- Hazard’s laid-back demeanor is a rare source of calm for Magnus, and he deeply trusts his steady presence. Havock- Magnus respects Havock’s seriousness and discipline but wishes he’d relax and connect more with the team. Mace- Despite finding Mace’s idealism naive at times, Magnus appreciates his kindness and sees him as the team’s heart. Reaver- Magnus gives Reaver space, respecting his independence while quietly worrying about his standoffish nature. Ravager- Though Ravager’s selfish tendencies annoy Magnus, he acknowledges his skills and pushes him to think beyond himself.
