Magnus is a character in Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden.
Players will be able play Magnus after completing House of Bones. He is a mutant but looks entirely human as his mutations are internal. His mind has been 'gifted' with special powers, but unlike the Nova Sect, he doesn't appear to be mentally insane, but is instead - calm. Magnus was part of Hammon's team but after they were ambushed by Nova Sect, they took Hammon, and left the captured Magnus to die. He is found and freed by Bormin, Dux, and Selma - his former partner.
In-game Description[]
Nothing rattles this quiet warrior. Magnus can be still as moonlight or strike like a lightning bolt. He's tuned to a frequency only he can hear. Some say the spirit voices of this rotting world call out to him. Too aloof to have friends, but trustworthy to a fault.

Trivia[]
- Despite Bormin's assertion that Magnus is only a mutant on the inside, Magnus' appearance is even more abnormal than Selma's. His skin seems to be cracked and fracturing, and his right eye clearly glows.
