At some point prior to the [[The Doctor|Doctor]] leaving [[Gallifrey]], he and Magnus were good friends. However, one day, Magnus attempted to drain power from a conglomerate of [[Artron energy]] retrieved from the [[Time Vortex]]. The Doctor realized the "ball of energy" was in fact a sentient energy being and stopped Magnus; while the Doctor was commended for his actions, Magnus never forgave the Doctor for ruining his plans that day, becoming a bitter enemy of his.

* Magnus' | * Magnus' nature is a peculiar one; he was intended to be a younger version of [[The Master|the Master]] by the authors of ''[[Flashback (comic story)|Flashback]]'', and the story read in this spirit by many. However, a [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/rec.arts.drwho/zR5mKB0Lqpg/S-l-rL2exLIJ explained] by [[Gary Russell]] when he was asked about the names of [[The Deca|the Deca]], this conflicted with an alternate young version of the Master going by "Koschei", created by [[David A. McIntee|Dave McIntee]]; in an attempt to resolve the contradiction, Russell thus decided to retcon Magnus as being instead a young [[The War Chief|War Chief]], and thus had the name of Magnus used for the War Chief in ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)|Revelation]]''. Strictly speaking, neither identity of the original Magnus has been confirmed; either way, it is worth remembering that [[The War Chief#Connection with the Master|the Master and War Chief are sometimes thought to be one and the same]], to begin with. | ||
