Magnus first appears in ''[[Magnus and the Dark Lord]]'', the second chapter of ''Uprising.'' Pit is immediately surprised to see him fighting, and winning, against the Underworld Army in Dark Lord Gaol's castle and questions to [[Palutena]] as to whether Magnus really is a human or not. After introductions between the two, Magnus and Pit team up to fight through the rest of the Underworld Army and reach Gaol. Along the way, despite unknowingly and formerly impressing Palutena, Magnus accuses her of "not doing her job" and letting the Overworld fall into chaos. Palutena responds to Pit defensively, saying that "[She] take[s] it back. He's a jerk." Later, Pit comes across a treasure chest outside and Magnus warns him that it must be a trap, a warning that Pit fails to heed and the two are caught up in defeating a wave of monsters. Some time later, the two reach Gaol and Palutena guesses that Magnus and Gaol were part of the same mercenary group for a time, but Gaol's weak heart made "him" give into the Underworld Army. Palutena also reveals that Magnus lost his hild to the Underworld Army. To Pit's shock, Gaol turns out to be a human woman and Magnus apologizes that he had to resort to such measures, but Palutena extracts Pit before he could learn or do anything more.

Magnus appears prominently again in ''[[The Ring of Chaos]]'', set three years after the incident with Gaol while Pit is controlling a [[dog]] to run around a human [[Town#Decimated Town|town]] on the surface and find out why he had become a [[Ring of Chaos|ring]] in the first place. The angel finds Magnus and begs the human to take the ring, despite the fact that Magnus cannot actually hear him. Magnus takes the ring, but tosses it quickly to Pit's dismay. However, Magnus returns after a moment and picks the ring up, then becomes playable for the remainder of the land battle as Pit takes control of the mercenary's body. Pit is shocked and confused by the current situation, and Magnus explains to an uninformed angel that Palutena had disappeared for a time before [[Palutena's Army|her army]] returned to the [[Overworld]], only to fight against the humans. He was originally sent to take out [[Pit's Body]], but eventually lets the angel use his body to fight off both the Underworld Army and the [[Centurion]] forces. The two eventually make it towards the edge of town to fight against the empty husk of the angel. Once Pit's Body is defeated, Magnus puts the ring on his finger and Pit regains control of his own body. After a momentary celebration, Pit's mood drops again as he starts questioning how he would return to [[Skyworld]], and explains to Magnus the true nature of his flight—that it was all Palutena's doing. A few moments later, Pit is granted the [[Power of Flight]] and he leaves Magnus behind to head back to Skyworld.
