Yes it is ---~=Ѧrtѧxϵrxϵs User Artaxerxes Spiteful Spirit for sig.jpg (Talk) 06:46, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Hyphen?[edit]

I've not read the books yet. I'm wondering about the proper name Magnus the Bloody Handed. Does it appear this way consistently in the book? I would think that better would be Magnus the Bloody-Handed...Sliphorn 06:23, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Don't have my book on me, but I'd be willing to bet a toe that it isn't hyphenated. EiveTalk 07:18, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
You win a sixth toe, then. It's consistently spelled without a hyphen. -Yossitaru 08:32, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
That was obvious, judging how American (game) language often lacks hyphens where you'd otherwise expect. Such as two-handed and one-handed. - Infinite - talk 11:33, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
ohhhh Americans. Yeah it's always been an afterthought of mine to look up why there's little use of hyphens. Makes sense now. (Xu Davella 12:13, 6 February 2011 (UTC))
Well, that and some years ago, the dictionaries over in the USA dropped most hyphens and changed spelling to affected words to reflect so. - Infinite - talk 12:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
...I'm American...and I like hyphens...very much...elipses, too...obviously...Anyway, good to know it was right all along. Thanks for the info.Sliphorn 04:03, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Clarification[edit]

Hi! The statement "This way he made Edge of Steel famous, who united with Dragonspawn's Destiny to become Destiny's Edge in order to fight the Dragonspawn" is just confusing. As I don't know a lot of the lore surrounding Magnus, can someone clarify who/what Edge of steel and Dragonspawn's Destiny are? Someone might want to clarify that sentence (and maybe even the entire paragraph) in the actual article so it can be more helpful to those who do not know the lore behind the terms (add a "Spoiler Alert" tag if necessary). Thanks! ERIC the ESKIMO 07:18, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Edge of Steel is a team formed by Logan Thackeray , Rytlock Brimstone and Caithe. (they've been arrested and now they've got to fight in an Arena)
Dragonspawn's Destiny is the team formed by Snaff, Zojja and Eir (they've formed this team to destroy the Dragonspawn but aren't succeeding in doing so)
Together they form Destiny's Edge and I won't spoil more. --you like that don't you..The Holy Dragons 07:36, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Current location?[edit]

He isn't at Fort Marriner, as stated in the article. To be honest, I have no idea where he is. Howellq (talk) 12:08, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Found him in fort Marriner, south of fractal portal 2024/01/16

Voice Actor[edit]

Captain Magnus sounds very similar to Mr. Crabs from Spongebob. Is it the same actor?

Voiced by Jon St. John, so sadly no. --Ventriloquist 20:58, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
