Legend

this man was a noted bounty hunter who worked the blood trade during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo. He had been hired by the Corporate Alliance many times, often for clandestine or illegal missions. It was Passel Argente who hired Magus to assassinate twenty leaders at a conference on Rondai-2, about eleven years before the Battle of Naboo. Magus put together an unlikely group of bounty hunters that included Raptor, Pilot, Lunasa, and Gorm the Dissolver to carry out the mission. However, they were forced to hunt down Talesan Fry after the young boy discovered that their plans and was going to provide information to the Galactic Senate. After a group of pirates captured Talesan and returned the boy to the bounty hunters, Magus set off for Randai-2, planning to use the boy as a shield in order to carry out the mission. He was angered when a group of Jedi Knights - Qui-Gon Jinn, Adi Gallia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Siri Tachi - trailed them to Rondai-2 and disrupted the assassination attempt. After Raptor was killed and Lunasa and Gorm were captured, Magus and Pilot tried to escape with Talesan as their shield. At the last minute, however, Magus realized that the plan had been completely foiled. Rather than be captured, he fled in an airspeeder, forcing Pilot and Talesan to fall off. Pilot fell to his death, but Talesan was rescued by Siri Tachi. In retaliation for the Jedi ruining his plans, Magus hunted down Talesan's parents and killed them, then went into hiding. He reappeared some twenty years later, again working for Passel Argente. This time, Magus was dispatched to Genian to recover a top-secret device from Helina Dow. After obtaining the codebreaker, Magus shot and killed Helina during his attempt to escape. Unknown to Magus, however, was that the codebreaker he stole had been a prototype that was rendered useless by Talesan. Helina Dow, however, had installed a tracer in the real device, which allowed the Separatists to track it to Azure. There, Magus joined the Separatist forces in attacking the Republic's secret base. He set out to eliminate Talesan once and for all, but his ship was disabled by Siri Tachi. During the struggle for control of the ship, Magus managed to shoot Siri before she rendered him unconscious. After Siri died from her wounds, Magus was taken into custody as a prisoner of war.
