Magnus Burnsides

Magnus-Terry "Maggie" Burnsides is a player character controlled by Travis McElroy. He is a human fighter with a lawful good alignment, with a history of carpentry. He once made a pretty awesome chair, impressing the entire town and becoming a folk hero. Helping with this are his roots as "common folk" and his rustic charm.

Magnus is a strong believer in the word of the law. He feels compelled to stand up for the rules. His eagerness to act for the law, and his lack of thinking, now have him living life looking over his shoulder. Having once stopped a mad tyrant, Magnus now lives under the threat of death, sworn by the tyrant as revenge. He also carries with him a knife once owned by a relative. He was once pretty confident it would come back into play in his life, but he probably doesn't remember he has it packed in his things.

After Taako is killed by Magic Brian during a magical wizard duel in Wave Echo Cave, Magnus saves Taako's life with a healing potion and in the process unknowingly imparts upon Taako the knowledge of cheese.
