History
Magnus was taken away from his parents during his childhood. He was brought to the Tower of Heaven as a slave. Through the hard labour that he was forced to do, Magnus' body toughened up. During his hard labour as a slave, Magnus used that time wisely to strengthen himself and increase his endurace. Eventually, Magnus learned Slowing Magic and High Speed. He had praticed it during his labour everyday without anyone noticing. He waited patiently for a chance that he could use to escape for years.

Magnus is now in his teens and an oppotunity to escape came up. Erza had lead a revolt towards his section and Magnus used that opportunity to defeat all of the guards. Using his incredibly fast speed that he has honed over the past few years, Magnus defeated all of the guards in the area in less than a minute. He had also witnessed Erza defeating many guards around her. Magnus had gotten on the boat with everyone else but when everyone was persuaded by Jellal to stay and complete the R-System, Magnus had left on a seperate boat. He knew what the purpose of the tower was but he also knew that he couldn't get people to turn away from Jellal, so he had no choice but to leave them.

After escaping, Magnus has nowhere to go, so he had decided to become a mercenary and take up jobs for a living. He worked as a mercenary for a year or two before finding the Neptune Guild. Magnus joined the guild and proved his worth over a couple of years by doing various missions, mainly tough ones with a high amount of reward. Magnus had gotten his hands on a Dragon Lacrima and had implanted it into his body. Eventually, he became an S-Class mage.

Magic and Abilities
Ruby Dragon Slayer Magic (ルビーの滅竜魔法 Rubī no Metsuryū Mahō): Magnus is a "New-Generation" Dragon Slayer. He is capable of creatings scales of ruby, giving him a very tough armour. His Ruby Dragon's Roar is a powerful blast of air while shooting large amounts of rubies out at the same time, much like Gajeel's Metal Dragon's Roar. Although it's a waste, Magnus can eat rubies. He states that raw rubies taste worse than polished rubies.

Slowing Magic (時間鈍化の魔法 Jikan Donka no Mahō): Magnus uses Slowing Magic to slow down his enemies withing a limited range. Using that chance, Magnus attacks his enemy with his Ruby Dragon Slayer Magic. He also uses High Speed at the same time to create a very effective speed combination.

High Speed (神足 Kōtari): Magnus uses High Speed just to increase his speed in battle. Although it has no offensive abilities, Magnus uses it at the same time with Slowing Magic to create a deadly speed combination. High Speed is also Magnus' backup if his opponents figured out his Slowing Magic.
