Magnum is a Hell Host Marine known for aggressive close-range combat, short-range teleportation, and his extensive use of revolver-type weapons.
Little personal information concerning Magnum is publicly documented.
His real name remains unknown, and even his species was never formally recorded within surviving personnel information.
What is known is that Magnum originated from the United Kingdom and eventually entered Hell Host service.
His most significant known family connection is his twin brother, Rapid, who serves with the Angel Swords.
The two possess remarkably similar anomalous abilities despite ultimately finding themselves on opposing sides of the Hell Host–Angel Sword conflict.
Magnum’s primary long-term objective is simple:
Bring down the Angel Swords.
Appearance
Magnum stands approximately 5’6” and possesses a physically fit build maintained through regular training and active service.
During combat, he typically wears red and black Hell Host armor configured for mobility.
One of Magnum’s legs was lost prior to or during his Hell Host service and replaced with an advanced robotic prosthetic.
The exact circumstances in which he lost the limb remain undocumented.
Despite the injury, Magnum remains highly mobile and actively participates in frontline combat.
His hair color, eye color, and other identifying physical characteristics remain undocumented.
Family
Magnum’s parents are deceased.
The circumstances surrounding their deaths were never specified in surviving records.
His only known immediate family member is his twin brother, Rapid.
At some point in their lives, the brothers ended up serving opposing factions.
Magnum joined the Hell Hosts.
Rapid joined the Angel Swords.
Why the brothers chose different sides remains unknown.
Their relationship following Rapid’s decision to join the Angel Swords is similarly unclear, although Magnum’s stated goal of bringing down the faction inevitably places the brothers in direct opposition.
The fact that they share several unusual abilities suggests a connection between the origins of their powers.
The nature of that connection remains unknown.
Abilities
Magnum possesses three known anomalous abilities.
These abilities closely resemble those demonstrated by his twin brother, Rapid.
The origin of their abilities has never been established.
Teleportation
Magnum can teleport across relatively short distances.
The ability operates through a distance-dependent recovery period.
The farther Magnum travels from his previous position, the longer he must wait before teleporting again.
The original documented estimate states that approximately every 2 feet traveled adds 1 second to the recovery period.
This makes short jumps considerably more practical during combat than repeatedly teleporting across maximum distances.
Magnum uses this ability aggressively, rapidly repositioning around opponents, closing distance, escaping attacks, and appearing from unexpected directions.
Shock
Magnum can deliver an anomalous electrical effect through physical contact.
When used successfully, Shock causes the affected target to temporarily freeze or become significantly slower to react.
The effect gives Magnum an immediate advantage during close-range combat.
Once used, Shock requires approximately one minute before Magnum can activate it again.
Because physical contact is required, Magnum frequently combines Shock with teleportation.
Murder Spree
Murder Spree temporarily increases Magnum’s combat capabilities.
When active, Magnum can move at exceptional speeds while experiencing substantial increases in his combat pacing, coordination, and offensive skill.
The ability resembles the Rage ability demonstrated by Phantom, although it manifests differently.
Magnum becomes significantly more dangerous at close range while Murder Spree remains active, particularly when combining the ability with teleportation.
His twin brother Rapid possesses an ability known by the same name.
The exact limits, duration, physical consequences, and origin of Murder Spree remain undocumented.
Combat Style
Magnum specializes in aggressive close-range combat.
His abilities allow him to rapidly close distance, disrupt individual targets, and move between opponents before they can properly respond.
Rather than relying exclusively upon his powers, Magnum combines them with firearms and throwing weapons.
His preferred tactics include:
- Short-range teleportation
- Rapid assault
- Target isolation
- Close-quarters combat
- Hit-and-fade attacks
- Flanking
- Shock-assisted takedowns
- High-speed attacks during Murder Spree
Magnum’s natural speed outside his abilities is not particularly extraordinary.
His battlefield mobility instead comes primarily from teleportation, training, and his willingness to fight extremely close to enemy personnel.
Weapons
Massacre
Massacre is Magnum’s signature firearm.
The weapon resembles a heavily modified revolver but uses unusually small specialized ammunition.
Its rounds are designed to penetrate certain forms of armor and protective material.
Despite its revolver-like design, Massacre can carry approximately 27 rounds and is capable of burst fire.
The unconventional weapon has become strongly associated with Magnum.
His fondness for revolvers eventually resulted in Marksman giving him another nickname.
Magnum did not appreciate it.
Deadline Daggers
The Deadline Daggers are a collection of specialized throwing knives used extensively by Magnum.
He normally carries approximately five.
Magnum is highly skilled with the weapons and can accurately use them during rapid movement and close-range combat.
The daggers possess two unusual characteristics.
First, they can produce an electrical discharge upon impact.
Second, they are capable of returning toward Magnum after being thrown in a manner resembling a boomerang.
This allows Magnum to repeatedly reuse the weapons during an engagement.
He frequently combines the Deadline Daggers with teleportation, allowing him to attack from rapidly changing angles.
Prosthetic Leg
Magnum has lost one biological leg.
It was subsequently replaced with an advanced robotic prosthetic.
The prosthetic allows Magnum to maintain normal battlefield mobility and withstand the physical demands of his aggressive combat style.
Contrary to some later records, only one of Magnum’s legs is confirmed to have been replaced.
How he originally lost the limb remains unknown.
Personality
Magnum has a short temper and a generally blunt personality.
His sense of humor exists, although personnel familiar with him do not generally consider it one of his defining characteristics.
He can become irritated quickly and reacts poorly to individuals deliberately attempting to provoke him.
Despite this, Magnum is capable of functioning effectively within a squad and remains committed to Hell Host operations.
His temperament becomes particularly relevant when dealing with people he already dislikes.
Marksman is a notable example.
”Revo”
Marksman occasionally referred to Magnum as “Revo.”
The nickname was derived from Magnum’s obvious preference for revolvers, particularly his use of Massacre.
It was not intended affectionately.
Marksman did not particularly like Magnum and used the nickname primarily to irritate him.
Magnum hated it.
This naturally encouraged Marksman to continue using it.
Relationship with Rapid
Rapid is Magnum’s twin brother and a member of the Angel Swords.
The brothers share several known abilities:
- Teleportation
- Shock
- Murder Spree
The similarity is significant enough that their abilities are likely related in some manner.
Exactly how remains unknown.
Despite their biological relationship, the brothers now occupy opposite sides of one of the galaxy’s major military conflicts.
Magnum’s stated desire to destroy the Angel Swords creates an unavoidable conflict between his objective and his surviving family.
Whether Magnum wishes to kill Rapid, defeat him, recover him, or simply considers him another member of the enemy faction has never been established.
Relationship with Marksman
Magnum and Marksman historically did not get along particularly well.
Marksman frequently mocked Magnum’s preference for revolvers by referring to him as Revo.
Magnum strongly disliked the nickname.
Their disagreements did not necessarily prevent them from operating on the same side, but their relationship was never particularly friendly.
The full extent of their history remains undocumented.
Interests
Outside combat, relatively little is documented regarding Magnum’s personal life.
He appears to enjoy travel and has shown a particular interest in aircraft.
Whether this interest extends to piloting, engineering, or simply flying aboard them has never been established.
Goals
Magnum’s primary documented objective is the destruction or defeat of the Angel Swords.
The presence of his twin brother within the faction makes this goal considerably more complicated than a conventional military rivalry.
Magnum has never publicly clarified how Rapid fits into his intended end goal.
