Magnus Anax of the Thunderlands, commonly known as the Ravager or the Infernal Monarch by his enemies and the Thunder King and Chain-Breaker by his followers, is the founder and leader of the Revolutionary Free State. Magnus is now famous for uniting the people of the normally fractious tribes of the Thunderlands as well as many dissatisfied and disenfranchised peoples of Seres on a multitude of successful campaigns against the surrounding "civilized" nations.
The name Magnus Rex has become a bitter curse within the world, with parents telling stories of a giant with charcoal black skin and glowing red eyes that will slaughter or enslave them unless they behave. Little is known of Magnus and his past, with many scholars even believing that Magnus is not his real name but instead a title. What little is known can only be inferred, he was born in the Thunder Steppes and that he is male. Legends and rumors vary on his origins, with legend saying that his mother was a witch who fornicated with Gods and spirits in order to give birth to a great champion. Another says that he fell from the sky, travelling on a bolt of lighting to the ground where he was found by a warlord and raised as tribal prince.
