In the glory days of Neverwinter, Magnus' father was a knight of Corlinn Hill, located in the hills northeast of the city. But Mount Hotenow erupted twenty-two years ago, devastating Neverwinter and erasing Corlinn Hill. Instead of growing up on an estate, Magnus was raised in a small townhouse in Neverwinter. As an adult, he stood to inherit only a title.
 
Since swearing his oath to Bahamut, he has returned to Neverwinter and has been a champion to those who are overlooked by the institutions that exist to protect them. Recently, his resolve has been shaken by corruption in the city guard and ruling aristocrats.
