Magnus Burnsides

Magnus-Terry "The Hammer" 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 "man of action" who believes that "thinking is for other people."

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.
