CHARACTER NAME: Magnus Bane (CRAU: Magnus Lightwood-Bane) CANON: Shadowhunters TV CANON POINT: End of episode 2.10. CRAU: Yes, from eudio (app) AGE: Old (400s?) BACKGROUND:
CRAU: Magnus was in Eudio for thirteen months. During that time, he met up with several people from his world, made quite a few new connections, opened a club, and cemented his relationship with Alec Lightwood to the ultimate end of matrimony.
- Upon arriving in Eudio in April, Magnus discovered right away that Alec had come to the city as well. In the coming months, he came to be aware that several others from their world also accepted the representative's offer. He made contact with each of them and discussed enough with them to be aware that he and Alec had come to the city earlier than anyone else from their world, a factor that contributed to a later trip home to get caught up with everyone else.
- In May, Magnus opened a Eudio location of his Brooklyn nightclub, Pandemonium. Several of his friends from Eudio became employees and the club started offering monthly drink specials in the form of a variety of magical cocktails. The club quickly became a huge feature in his Eudio life, not only because Eudio's relaxed attitude about magic meant he could openly advertise it as a place where magic was welcome and, quite literally, on the menu all the time, but also because he formed strong relationships with several of his regular patrons and employees.
- By July, Magnus had made good progress on achieving his first incentive, which requested the Eudio representatives bring back his deceased friend, Ragnor Fell. Having cultivated relationships with several fellow volunteers, some of whom had lost those precious to them, Magnus eventually came to the conclusion that he would rather protect his future than preserve his past. With Alec's permission, he changed his contract with the city from bringing back Ragnor to protecting Alec from all physical harm.
- In September, he and Alec decided that Alec would move into Magnus' apartment and they'd begin living together. This marked a kind of turning point in their relationship, and for Magnus personally, as it resulted in him beginning to think more concretely of their relationship as one that he hoped would be permanent and lasting - that is, as much as it could be so long as he was immortal and Alec wasn't, which is another subject that's come up frequently for them.
- In December, after Magnus' birthday, Alec and Magnus went to their mountain vacation home, where Alec proposed (with a magic ring he'd been hanging onto since September). They married the very next day in a private ceremony. The marriage is extremely significant for Magnus, in part because he's been alive four centuries and has never been married before, despite a desire for it.
- In April, Magnus and Alec returned home to Brooklyn, where the events of their canon resumed. They left for Eudio again as detailed in the exit strategy section.
POWERS: Magnus' warlock abilities are pretty diverse. The ones we've seen in the show thusfar are detailed below.
Healing. He can use magic to speed the healing process for wounds, as well as for pain relief, and can create potions that cure poisons, given the proper ingredients. Potion-making is listed as one of his special skills. Summoning. He can summon objects from one place to another. In the show, he's only ever shown to do this with small items (a wineglass, for example). In addition, Magnus is capable of summoning demons, with whom he can make contracts for greater power or other purposes. Not really applicable outside his home universe where said demons reside. Relocation. In one episode, Magnus transports his 'lair' (a loft in Brooklyn) from one location to another. Elemental control. Summoning fire, potentially other elements. This has been used for combat purposes (striking people, knocking things over or causing them to explode, and restraining enemies). Wards of protection. Magnus can create permanent/semi-permanent protective barriers around buildings and people. He can also shield himself and others from immediate damage. Portals. Magnus can create a portal from his current location to any other location he's previously visited. Sense/physical manipulation. Magnus can influence bodily sensation (speed heart rate, control breathing, affect body temperature, etc). Immortality. Magnus stopped aging around ~30 and no longer grows any older physically. He is immortal, but not invulnerable. Glamour. Magnus can affect the appearance of people or objects, either to change or hide aspects of whatever's visible. He uses this ability to conceal his warlock mark, which is a pair yellow cat eyes. His glamour gives his eyes the appearance of being brown, when they actually look as shown in the link. He can lower or dispel the glamour at any time. Tracking. Using a physical object belonging to a person, Magnus' magic can track their location.
STARTING EQUIPMENT: Daemon (Anned, giant monarch butterfly) + the clothes on his back.
EXIT STRATEGY: Magnus and Alec make a trip back to Eudio to claim Alec's earned incentive. Upon arriving at City Hall and obtaining what was agreed upon with the representatives, everyone in the vicinity experiences what seems to be a powerful earthquake. Magnus and Alec together are only able to meet up with Clary of all the people they know in Eudio and when Magnus attempts to portal them to safety, the trio are transported to Xist together instead.
MORALITY: Magnus is very much chaotic good. He abides by a policy of "do no harm, but suffer no nonsense." He won't hurt someone without a reason and will usually utilize his magic to defend, rather than attack. Injustice of any kind is going to result in a negative reaction on his part, particularly on a systemic level (privileged versus oppressed groups). Overall, this isn't likely to result in physical violence, whether it involves magic or not. He's more likely to make scathing remarks than throw a punch/magic fireball.
WAR ATTITUDES: Magnus would be interested in constructive work, whether this means building up the city or helping with missions. He'd be equally likely to engage in both. Community contributions may help to explain this more clearly, but in short, he's willing to use his skills in whatever way will be most useful. He's spent time in a peaceful environment and engaged in pursuits geared more toward community-building (Eudio: running Pandemonium, doing individual magical contracts) and also lived in an environment at war (Brooklyn: fighting Valentine, protecting the Downworld) and both of these very recently.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Magnus won't be forming any new romantic relationships, but he's opened up a lot more to the idea of a broader range/number of friendships since his introduction in season one. Add in his time in Eudio and he's positively affectionate with people he cares for, having grown more open in general thanks to his relationships, romantic and otherwise. He won't keep people at a professional distance by default, though he will probably be cautious when it comes to new faces. In the end, he wants to help and he'll extend that help willingly to anyone, but he'll always be the most protective of his family.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Magnus' magic creates a lot of opportunities. One thing I think he'd want to help with is transportation/exploration via portal. He's good with potions and healing as well, so he'd be keen to offer those services. Practical, concrete offerings related to his magic are going to be the first things he thinks to contribute. It's possible he'll think of more permanent ideas once he's been around a little while, but the immediate focus would be on helping people achieve some stability, whatever that means.
