Magnus the Spellblade

== Background ==
Magnus was born in Westcrown during the Chellish civil war's. His father & brother's were killed during that period & his family stripped of their wealth and position in chellish society. He studied & worked hard at a young age, eventually being adopted by a Wizard all the way in Korvosa, Varisia; who taught at Academy there. It was here he subsequently went & studied magecraft but much of his whereabouts between then & now is a mystery.
The secret has been thus: He was helping his master with planar matter's. Xavier Arcano was an Enigmatic figure who trafficked with the Outer planes frequently with his studies pertaining to Nature. To this end, many social visits were made to Magabyan Arcanists & Druid's, many of which were not willing to part their secrets.
As Xavier's apprentice & squire, Magnus had to learn how to defend himself very early on in his adventuring carrear & picked up how to handle a sword, cast in armor and strong battlemagic quickly, especially with the creatures druid's frequently summoned.
His master did eventually learn the secret's of Druidic practices for the Arcane but an unfortunate accident due to a surprise attack by a circle of druid's left his master dead. Magnus took all his research & understands of Natural magic and has since made it his own.
He returned to Cheliax for a time to learn that his mother had passed away due to sickness & that his brother & Hector went & joined the Hellknight's. The two spoke for a time, but Magnus being the more pragmatic of the two wandered away from home yet again, not interested in his brother's rise to a more pious and lawful life. During this time however he conflicted frequently with devils, seeking to test his powers even further & worked as a sellsword for a while until work took him south to Absolom, the heart of Avistan. He has taken up his master's family name since, using his history as his adopted apprentice to get work and provide for himself & his studies into Nature magic.
== The Arcano Arcanium ==
Being a powerful mage, his master Xavier had investments all over the continent. One was the Arcanium, a workshop & store for Arcane goods & need's. Magnus had learned many item crafting secrets during his time with his master & so for now has purchased ownership of the place, intending to run it during the meantime he works in the city.
