Magnus the Rogue, more commonly referred to as Magnus, is the griefer of The Order of the Stone and a major character in Minecraft: Story Mode. He is voiced by Corey Feldman.
He first appeared in "The Order of the Stone" for a brief moment in a flashback, and physically appeared in "Assembly Required".
Overview
Background
Magnus is an expert demolitionist and griefer. He was a part of the Order of the Stone and was the former ruler of Boom Town. He, along with the Order of the Stone, defeated the Ender Dragon.
Appearance
Magnus has a completely bald head with a black bandana. He has green armor with a belt half way up his body and four yellow buttons on his chest. He has brown gloves and yellow shoes. Prior to episode two, he wore a completely transparent helmet, currently in possession of Axel. His armor is presumably made of emerald. It is also possible that he used to have brown hair, as his eyebrows are brown.
Personality
Magnus is shown to be very stubborn, as well as egotistical. Before losing to Jesse, Magnus is nicknamed the best griefer to ever live. He is shown to become pretty much insane if you go to Boom Town, as he can be seen with fire in his eyes and trying his hardest to kill Jesse. However, that could have him just being a very good actor, as he had to make things look "legit". He has a tendency to get cocky and boast. However, he also offered to give up his armor for Jesse, though he may have just done it to gain favor with the group. But when he dies, he accepts his fate.

Relationships
Jesse
- "What say you, noob? I am King, and those who challenge me will be annihilated!"
- —Magnus to Jesse. (Determinant) src
Magnus and Jesse's relationship depends on the choices the player makes; if he/she takes Magnus' side in important situations, they will be on good terms, otherwise, Magnus will be very suspecting of Jesse.
Axel
- "I'm hanging out with Magnus! I am doing awesome!"
- —Axel to Jesse. (Determinant) src
Axel and Magnus are similar in many ways and share a love of griefing. Magnus appreciates this; however, he thinks Axel to sometimes be annoying and a bit of a dork.
Olivia
- "Wow. You finally found yourself a live one."
- —Magnus upon seeing Olivia supporting Ellegaard. (Determinant) src
Magnus and Olivia do not interact much. However, in the debates between him and Ellegaard, Olivia always takes Ellegaard's side, which annoys him.
Reuben
- "Time to see how well you fly, pig!"
- —Magnus about to launch Reuben in his TNT cannon. (Determinant) src
Magnus has been shown to be a somewhat unkind to Reuben, for he tried to launch him in The Death Bowl possible to injure him, but Axel catches him. However, if Magnus is alive in episode 4, he will be saddened by Reuben's death.
Gabriel the Warrior
- "You always were a tough cookie to keep down."
- —Magnus to Gabriel. (Determinant) src
Magnus and Gabriel are both members of The Order of the Stone. They defeated The Ender Dragon together and are good friends.
Ellegaard the Redstone Engineer
- "Oh hoo-ray. It's Ellie. And here I was just starting to enjoy myself!"
- —Magnus unhappy to see Ellegaard. (Determinant) src
Magnus and Ellegaard are both members of The Order of the Stone. They defeated the Ender Dragon together. However, they do not get along. They frequently argue and strongly disagree, much to the annoyance of the other members of the group. However, after Ellegaard is killed (determinant) by The Wither Storm, Magnus begins to miss Ellegaard, while Ellegaard continues to insult him fondly if Magnus is killed, although she is still shown being genuinely sad about his death.

Trivia
- In "Assembly Required", he isn't wearing his helmet like he does in "The Order of the Stone", similar to Ellegaard, Soren, and Ivor.
- In several Boom Town banners, he is wearing a hat, despite never being seen wearing it.
- Ironically, even though Magnus is known as the best griefer that ever lived, it was Soren who made the most destructive weapon ever. Interestingly, Magnus will scoff at the idea of the Formidi-Bomb when Ellegaard brings it up.
- In Episodes 4 and 5, Axel wears a helmet that Magnus was seen to wear in the flashback of Episode 1.
- Magnus loses his title as the King of Boom Town regardless of whether or not Jesse goes looking for him in "Assembly Required", since Axel will take the crown if Jesse doesn't.
- If Magnus dies, his last words to Soren are "At least I finally got to be a real hero, right?", foreshadowing the reveal of The Order of the Stone as fakes.
- If Magnus dies, there will be banners of Magnus from Boom Town hanging in the Order Hall in Episode 5.
- Magnus seems to be left-handed, as he held a TNT block with his left hand in Soren's story.
- He is the only character who has ears.
