"'Don't you see Caspar!?! I am your father!'" "- Magnus to Caspar in the 6th Stronghold"

Before The Brigadiers
Magnus (AKA Friedreich Shadowcrest or The General) was born on January 15th 1970.

He served as a volunteer police cadet in Foxfield until he was drafted into the Ruchevskian Wars. After being put into a squadron with all his childhood friends and watching them brutally get killed, he almost went borderline insane. Being fueled by revenge, he ignored orders to retreat from Northern Allion and killed a reported 150 men from an abandoned MG turret abandoned by the military and killed 15 more soldiers with his bare hands after running out of ammo. He was awarded the highest honour, the Platinum Star, for his outstanding service.

After serving, he mastered the art of Allionics in a monastery in Pensire. Being extremely patriotic, he supported the Shadow of the Nation movement and eventually joined their ranks. He joined up, and due to his recognition, was promoted to Colonel in the newly formed Shadow Army. He served for a while, but when his superiors told him about the plan to destroy Northern Allion and blame it on the government, he became enraged. His superiors went with the plan, and after the devastating impact, he lost his mind thinking that he lost his family. He murdered all of his superiors and took control of the Shadow Army, purposefully causing them to fail at the Battle of the West. He later reunited the army in hopes of uniting Allion under his rule and bringing an end to the lawless violence that engulfed Allion.
