Magnus the Immortal

“Not a perfect soul, I am perfecting. Not a human being, I am a human becoming. In my heart are the deeds my body has done and my heart has been weighed in the balance. Mine is a heart of carnelian, crimson as murder on a holy day.”
-Magnus the Immortal
== History ==
A priest of Osiris who fought in the Rebellion. Always mentally unstable, he gained notoriety for the rape of a queen, and for his skill with a blade. On the night of the Doom, he was slain, and brought for his soul to be judged. The king of the dead, Osiris, sent him back to the mortal world as his Mortal Sword. 
After the Doom, Magnus came into the possession of half of the Set Scrolls, and travelled around the Final Empire to keep it out of the hands of those who would misuse them. He fought for Farcraft during their war with Nim Lawfey, fighting at the forefront of every battle. At the end of the war, he chose to be sacrificed on Ascension Isle to prevent the prophesied Ritual of Reconciliation - which, if completed in the past, would prevent the unification of the timelines. Farcraft would slay him with his sword, the Human Effigy, an action that rendered the Pillars of Fate inert, brought him to the past, and made it such that two later, when Silvius and Brennan took the twin thrones, they could mend the timelines. 
== Personality ==
One of three Blademasters in the Final Empire (alongside San-Janis and Fang Gorm). An erratic and aimless soul, Magnus had only his sense of duty to guide him. He saw his immortality as a curse and a terrible burden, with each successive death stripping away another layer of his humanity. His self-sacrifice on Ascension Isle was an act of of truly heroic courage, for it meant that he would die over and over again in incredible agony. He was always a figure more of myth then of his time, farsighted and mad, noble and unvirtuous. Category:Final Empire
