Magnus Bherna

Magnus Bherna is a member of The Golden Dawn, Hero of the Realm, Monster Hunter, and former Honor Guard soldier. He was transported to the Realm of Light and Dark from another dimension, and through the process aged greatly. He first crossed paths with the Heroes when they sought a guide to help them navigate the Northern lands.

He is a decorated fighter and expert Monster Hunter. At his old age, while the fire to fight still burns within him, his longing to reunite with his late wife Kaeli and their unborn daughter makes death seem like less of a loss, and more of a new beginning for him.

Having formed a camaraderie with Guinivere, upon returning to City 5, they both split from the party and joined the Honor Guard to fight on the frontlines.

Early Life
Magnus had a tumultuous childhood. He witnessed his heroes' deaths and the destruction of his seaside home. When he awoke, he was on a ship named the Argosy. It was here that he realized his newfound phobia of water. The crew treated him as one of their own until they dropped him off on the mainland. The Captain took him to the nearest city and left him with a friend: the Head of the Monster Hunter Academy. The head of the Academy took on the roll of a surrogate father. Magnus enrolled as soon as he was allowed to. It was at then that he met Kaeli.

Kaeli
Kaeli was the love of Magnus' life and his fiancee. They met when they were both signing up to become Monster Hunters. Magnus knew his academics and Kaeli knew the physical side. They worked together to get through Academy and it was at their graduation that Magnus confessed his love. After years together, Magnus proposed and Kaeli revealed that she was pregnant. However, after a tragic still-birth, Kaeli became irreparably depressed and took her own life.

Monster Hunter
Magnus's powers came from his knowledge of his enemies and his weapons. He would often take the parts of fallen beasts to apply to his weaponry and armor, boosting his abilities. He was known to be fond of his gunlance, a mix of a lance and canon. He was famous for his shield which he'd tricked out to be extraordinarily powerful. Some described the shield as "broken" and "OP."
