wording
'''Magnus the Red''' is the [[Primarch]] to the renegade [[Thousand Sons]] [[Chaos Space Marine]] legion. They are the most unique legion since the pronunciation of the [[Rubric of Ahriman]]. Their bodies were turned to dust and their armour sealed, trapping their souls in eternal damnation. The only way to free them is to break open their ancient armour and hope the spirit will leave.
Magnus the Red however, was not the one to do this, though he was the primarch. He was a physical giant among men, coppery skin, fiery red hair and a single cycloptic eye. It is said that his towering height relates directly to his amazing intelligence, and his single eye shows his uncompromising single mindedness. At the height of the [[Great Crusade]], Magnus was the most imposing Primarch, putting his will above even those that of [[Horus]], second in command to the [[Emperor]].
Magnus, as an infant, dropped onto the remote colony world of [[Prospero]]. He was incredibly fortunate to land here, as anywhere else his cyclopean eye would have made him an outcast, shunned and hunted. Prospero was a world of outcast human [[psyker]]s, making him nothing special in the eyes of the colonists. They had chosen Prospero just because of its remoteness from [[Terra]]. When Magnus fell from the skies, it was like a protentious comet. His pod landed in the central plaza of all the places on the planet.
