Strangely born in The Forbidden City to unknown parents, he lived most of his life alone in the City of Elbion, working during his childhood for a merchant in the Merchant District. Childhood was an extremely difficult time for him as he had nowhere to go, the merchant he worked for only employed him off of pity and couldn't find any housing space to spare, this left Magus homeless for most of his childhood until a Maester from the College of Elbion found him in the streets, took him in and provided care and housing in the college despite his age. One day the Maester decided to take him in for one of the lessons that day. At the young age of 9, Magus took his first class at the college, this was a life changing event for him, this lesson was the beginning of Magus' fascination for magic, from then on he studied magic until the present day.

His interest in Rune Magic began with a book shop he had started to frequent, its name was 'The Gilded Feather Bookshooppe' and it had all kinds of books on all kinds of magic, he had heard the owner was a Maester of the Fifth Order so he became curious as to what kind of magic Maesters of the Fifth Order studied, thats when he came across a 'Theories on the Origins of Rune Magic by Ignatius Osric', that was the name of the owner so Magus began reading. As he read the book the more he slowly became more and more fascinated by Rune Magic, that is when he began attedning Ignatius' lectures, Magus had become a follower of Ignatius, however once Magus graduated into a Maester of the Second Order, he had started to do his own research and make his own advancements in the field, slowly going from someone who followed in another's footsteps, into someone carving their own, which is where his research into Rune Magic truly began.
