Magnus Amaran was the evil archmage in Alioth who overthrew the city after plotting the king's demise through the chaos of the war meeting with the giants. His true loyalties are still somewhat unknown, but it is strongly believed that since he was one of the original ancient dragon companions of the old gods, he was corrupted by the Dark God and exploited through his son. His dead body is currently being preserved by Abel Xiloscient, in the hopes that he may one day be revived as Magnus, the Cunning Light.
