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. His favorite candy is Turkish delights.

Magnus has died nineteen times without crossing to the astral plane, according to Kravitz.
