Quicksand, known to the public as Magnus, is an adult male SandWing notable for being the first animus dragon in centuries. Despite animus magic vanishing thousands of years prior, Quicksand hatched with the ability to enchant objects to do whatever he pleased. As a dragonet, Quicksand dreamed of being a magician and would use his magic to create the greatest magic shows the Kingdom of Sand would ever see. Although this was his main aspiration, Quicksand also is the leader of an underground crime organization within the Kingdom of Sand.

== Personality ==
Quicksand is ambitious, generous, entertaining, confident, and stern. He loves being the center of attention and always makes sure that his audience is having a great time. When it comes to his two professions, he has stricly different attitudes. As a magician, Quicksand is boastful, powerful, and mysterious. As a crime boss, Quicksand is sly, cunning, and power-hungry. He doesn't like when he's told what to do by other dragons and is a generally non-negotiable dragon when it comes to making business deals for his organization. Despite his more sinister personality, Quicksand is a talented leader who will do what it takes to take care of his closest dragons. He will also do what it takes to keep his magic and organization a secret from the queen.
== Biography ==
Quicksand hatched in the same clutch as his brother, Armadillo. Their parents were regular SandWings living in an oasis city on the outskirts of the Sand Kingdom along the Sky Kingdom. Their village was small and Quicksand was known by all of the adult dragons in his city only a few days after hatching. Even as a baby, Quicksand and Armadillo were best friends. They would play together and grow up learning from each other. No significant events happened when Quicksand was a hatchling.
Quicksand started to attend school and meet more dragonets from his village as he got older. His brother still remained his closest friend but Quicksand now realized what popularity was and liked the idea of having people like you. He would do anything he could to get attention and it was at this age that he learned about magicians after one visited their city. Quicksand’s dream was to become a magician ever since that day. One day while playing alone with Armadillo, Quicksand discovered his animus powers by unintentionally enchanting a pile of sand to blow into his brother. Quicksand became obsessed with his powers and despite Armadillo’s worries, continued to experiment with them. Quicksand had finally figured out how he was going to be the best magician in Pyrrhia.
Instead of continuing his education by going to a higher-level school, Quicksand left his city and started doing magic acts around the Kingdom of Sand. Although distant from his brother, the two kept in contact and Armadillo expressed his worry about Quicksand using his magic too much. The two had researched animus magic which was believed to have vanished thousands of years before and Armadillo was concerned about Quicksand becoming greedy because of the magic’s effect. Quicksand wasn’t as bothered and continued to learn new ways to use his magic to do tricks. Quicksand became more and more popular the more places he went until he eventually was known across the whole kingdom. After eleven years of working as a magician, he settled down in a city known as Hex, a famous city where dragons would practice magic of different kinds. He lives in a penthouse of a skyscraper-like complex where he decorates his home with gold and other gems. After graduating, Armadillo moved to the city as well to keep an eye on his brother. He eventually became Quicksand’s right-talon man.
Quicksand, still a powerful magician, has now started a side gig of being a crime boss. He took over an underground criminal organization after killing the previous leader. He didn’t know this was how it worked and only killed the dragon became of a skirmish between the two, but he accepted his role and mainly put his brother in charge of making decisions for the organization. Armadillo, who publicly works as a professor, took the position and despite now being a much more morally gray character than he was before, is still worried about his brother. He doesn’t want the SandWing queen to learn about his magic and force him to use it for her or force him to have eggs to spread it. Quicksand is confident that this will never happen and if he does, he claims that he’ll just kill the queen. Armadillo is concerned about this as well as it will make him more public than he is currently.
