Magnus can be described as being much more serious than Pit, but also has a habit of expressing sarcasm in certain situations. Sometimes, his sarcastic remarks are even taken seriously by Pit. For example, when the two characters first meet, Magnus says: "So you're here for a slice of the pie too." (referring to fighting Gaol) to which Pit responds "Huh? Pie? Where?" In addition, Magnus is also much more experienced in battle and knowing his enemies. While Pit may be quick to fall for traps set by the Underworld army, Magnus can usually spot them beforehand. Magnus appears to do jobs that have a money reward. | Magnus can be described as being much more serious than Pit, but also has a habit of expressing sarcasm in certain situations.

*Magnus may be based on [[wikipedia:Heracles|Heracles]] (known as Hercules by the Romans). Heracles was a demigod son of Zeus and strongest human ever. Heracles always carried a club, which may be why Magnus's sword was created as a club, not as a blade as expected, though this may simply be due to the fact that Magnus's sword has no range, like a club. | *Magnus may be based on [[wikipedia:Heracles|Heracles]] (known as Hercules by the Romans).
