| '''Gary Russell'''
| | I have reverted the edits made by [[user:41.133.47.166]] to this page and [[the War Chief]], [[The War Games]] and [[the Master]]. Several months ago this user tried to make his point on several talk pages, but failed to provide convincing evidence per this wiki's rules. I reverted the edits and suggested he try the forums; as he did not do so, I've reverted his edits again.

| He was in a strip I commissioned from Warwick Gray for the Time Lord
| |
| special I did at Marvel. In Wick's original, he was called Magus and meant
| |
| to be the Master but I cocked it up and called him Magnus. When Dave
| |
| McIntee created Koschei, it struck me on re-reading Wick's strip that the
| |
| character could just as easily, if not better, be the War Chief. Which he
| |
| is in DL.
| |
| | |
| gee
| |
| | |
| So Mag(n)us is [[The Master]]. Russell retconned him to be [[The War Chief]]. However, that sequence in [[Divided Loyalties]] is unquestionably a dream. One could also argue(as many have), that Divided Loyalties is set in a non-existent gap between [[The Visitation]] and [[Black Orchid]], that it contradicts both [[The Celestial Toymaker]] and [[The Nightmare Fair]]. that [[The Doctor]] had never heard the name [[Koschei]] before [[The Dark Path]], or that Divided Loyalties claims that [[The Monk]] left [[Gallifrey]] BEFORE The Doctor. Clearly the Magnus here needs to be a redirect to [[The Master]], as well as the [[Flashback]] article corrected.
