Personality

Magnus is intelligent, wise, caring and
deeply compassionate, understanding people's
motivations with ease due to the experiences
he's lived through over hundreds of years.He is
incredibly protective of his people, considering
his role as their leader seriously and taking
responsibility for the safety of all warlocks. This
protective instinct is not limited to warlocks
only, as he has also helped many new
Downworlders navigate through the Downworld. Magnus
has difficulty leaving people who
need help and guidance to fend for themselves,
though he would sometimes request heavy
payment from those affiliated with the Clave and their
ideals, or complain as he lends people a hand. Magnus
can be sarcastic and never
hesitates to snap a witty retort when annoyed or hurt. Magnus
is openly bisexual, having been with many men
and women, both mundane, Downworlder, and, most recently,
a Shadowhunter.
