Magnus (マグナ Maguna) is a character in the upcoming game Kid Icarus: Uprising. He has been confirmed as the strongest of the human race by Sakurai.

Characteristics
Physical Appearance
Magnus is a foil in design to Pit, being older, muscular, dark in color scheme, deep voiced, and wielding a single large sword. His right arm is wrapped partially in cloth, while his left arm is decorated with a notably large tattoo that extends all the way to his neck. He also has somewhat long hair and wears a pair of strong boots that allow him to kick his enemies aside with little effort. In addition to these features, he also wears a sort of necklace made up of many different rocks and stones. The blade that Magnus uses is actually quite thick in addition to being sharp, yet he can swing it with great precision despite it being so bulky. The end of the sword's hilt is decorated with a curved piece of metal that matches the rest of the blade. In addition to his sword, Magnus also carries a small dagger stored in a scabbard attached to his shirt, although he has yet to be seen using it in battle.
Personality
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 has a money reward.
Notable Quotes

Trivia
