Personality
Born to be Soldier
Being born to a high ranking soldier and raised in a royal army, Magnus grew into someone who can be easily called perfect soldier. Stoic, hardworking man, who is devoted to the rules so much that he will carry on all orders no matter his personal feeling or ambitions. However, as a strong believer in the ideas of valor, honor, loyalty and brotherhood that soldiers should represent he can sometimes find himself in a conflict with his superiors especially when they are trying fulfill their political ambitions rather than their duties. In such cases he will carry his orders well as the mission has always priority over anything else however after his task is done he´ll confront the ones responsible as his own conscience and honor pride doesn´t allow him to stay silent.
Devil Hunter
As someone who witnessed the terrible power of Devil Fruits from the first hand, Magnus grew war of them and their users to the point, where he started to believe that the fruits themselves are too dangerous to be used by humans no matter their how virtuous as such great power always corrupts its user no matter who they are. As only few shared his opinion on the matter, he slowly started to change into self proclaimed vigilante, studying everything he could about the fruits and their power so whenever he meets one of their users he´ll be ready to challenge them and clear the world from their dangerous influence.
Skilled Musician
Despite Alexander lived majority of his lie as a soldier or mercenary he still found his way towards arts, specifically music. As very conservative person, he despise a huge majority of modern styles and artists and prefers classic music as both listener and composer and although his skills are nowhere near the world level he dedicates lots of free time to this hobby. He can also play very well on piano which he does especially before any important event or battle as a form of psychological preparation and meditation.
Family man
Albeit it´s hard to believe that someone so tense a Magnus managed to find woman that could at least tolerate him, not to mention fall in love with him that´s exactly what happened. And surprisingly, despite all his shortcomings, Alexander is loving husband that deeply cares about his family. Although his sense of duty is sometimes driving him far away he is doing his best to be present as much as possible for both his wife and their children For Magnus there isn´t greater treasure than the time their spend together and in the darkest moments, they are his motivation to push forward no matter the circumstances. After all, he is fighting for better world for them.
Appearance
Physical Description
Alexander is tall and hardened man who, despite his naturally white hair is in his thirties. He was blessed with broad shoulders and impressive musculature that is even more enhanced by his intense physical training. Despite his big frame, Alexander´s body doesn´t look bloated or hulking as that of bodybuilder but rather incredibly dense as if his muscles were made of steel. However the evidences of him still being a human are painfully obvious in a form of huge scar that is covering large portion of his chests and several others on his arms and face, making him look even less handsome and more dangerous than his strong jaw and strict features do naturally.
Outfit and Accessories
Alexander´s usual clothes consists of long dark colored or camouflage pants together with a T-shirt in natural colors which is covered by plain leather jacked in the case he finds himself in a very cold environment. His wardrobe is usually supplemented with a high, military style boots with thick sole and leather finger less gloves. As he is very practical man, Alexander usually doesn´t use any jewelry or other accessories with the sole exception of his backpack when he is traveling for a longer distance.

Traits
Inhuman Density
E-class
Alexander was born with rare condition that makes his body´s muscles and bones incredibly dense. Because of that he is way heavier than should be possible given his perceived height and stature. Although he still can not compare to the likes of giant his weight is easily on pair with the biggest humans if not even bigger. Thanks to it his body packs incredible destructive power and stability.
Inhuman Toughness
E-class
Because his bones and muscles are many times more dense than normal, Alexander is very resilient against physical harm and injuries. Of course it doesn´t make him invulnerable as he can still be pierced, cut or punched like any other human being, however his body is much better in dealing these injuries giving him the ability to withstand injuries that would kill normal human right away.
Terrible Swimmer
Negative trait
Because Alexander´s enormous weight is compressed in rather small frame, when thrown into water his body acts similarly to an iron ball, quickly sinking straight to the bottom. Because of this it takes him all the effort to just stay above the surface for a few moments before he´ll sink like a dropped cannonball.
Fighting Styles
Name:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Focus:- “Locks and Throws”; “Counterattacks”;
Class:- E
Description:- Marital art he learned while studying in the North Blue. This fightins style is focused on stable, low stances and flow like movements, centered around circular arm movements that are used to intercept and redirect the incoming attack. The style itself currently lack any real offensive capabilities and is concentrated only around deflection of the opponent´s attack and counterattacking via grappling, throwing and locking techniques, that are using the enemy´s strength against them.
Name:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Focus:- “Mixed boxing”; “Power Attacks”;
Class:- E
Description:- Alexander learned the basics of this martial art during his studies in the North Blue and later improved upon these basics to further hone his skills. Ths style is focused on straightforward, fast footwork, which main goal is ot get the user as close to their opponent, as possible, to maximize the effectiveness of knee, elbows and shoulder strikes that are the true specialty of this style. Once the user is inside their opponent´s zone, they start to use short stomping footwork to limit their movements combined with staggering strikes to the vital parts of their body, mainly solar plexus, neck, chin, temple and groins. As a close quarter boxing style, the Imperial Tiger doesn´t contain any kicks (with the exception of few low kicks and it´s characteristic stomping footwork) and no grappling or wrestling techniques.
Name:- Fist of Imperial Phoenix
Focus:- “Unarmed”; “High speed movement”;
Class:- E
Description:- Martial art that he learned later in life, through manual given to him by his instructor, style focused on circular footwork, together with constant flow like movement of ones arms. The practitioners are employing whole body movements with coiling and uncoiling action that allows them quickly maneuver around the opponent and flow in or out of object´s way. However once the time to take an action comes, Alexander swiftly switches into more direct footwork, unleashing very aggressive, rapid fire of attack in the form of hand techniques, grapples and throws to completely obliterate any opponent, before pulling back again into the circular footwork. This swift switching between circular, evasive and fast, direct techniques makes the Imperial Phoenix into ideal style for fights with bigger number of opponents.
Techniques
Name: Shield
Fighting Style: Fist of Imperial Tiger
Rank: 1
Description: Alexander takes a stance with one of his forearms in front of him and clenched fist pointing upwards thus making his large forearm resembling a shield. With his arm in this position he can stop and redirect incoming attacks taking only small portion of the damage rather than full brunt of the attack. However since he didn´t mastered the ability to turn his muscles into steel his arm still accumulates damage over time meaning he had to rely on his inhuman toughness when using this technique for longer period of time. It also makes this technique usable only against unarmed opponents as weapons can still cut or pierce his forearm without much difficulty.
Name: Spear
Fighting Style: Fist of Imperial Tiger
Rank: 1
Description: Powerful mid level punch thrown from close quarters. With his rear arm near his waist, Alexander strikes forward against the enemy´s chest or abdomen, continuously rotating his fist, shoulder, torso and hips into the punch finishing with short forward lunge to add the strength and weight of his whole body behind his strike. Given his incredible weight direct hit is usually enough to send regular opponents flying.
Name: Cross Arm Lock
Fighting Style: Fist of Imperial Dragon
Rank: 1
Description: Instead of resisting the incoming attack, Alexander will go with it´s flow. Voluntarily falling backwards before the enemy´s fist can reach him, Magnus will grab his opponent´s wrist with both his hands, jumping onto him and wrapping his legs around their arms up to enemy´s shoulder, blocking their other arm from counterattacking. In this position the elbow is completely locked and Alexander can tear his trapped opponent down and break their arm.
Name: Scythe
Fighting Style: Fist of Imperial Phoenix
Rank: 1
Description: Powerful roundhouse kick initiated from the hips that uses swift snap from the knee just before hitting the target to generate extra power. Despite aimed at the opponent´s neck it´s main goal isn´t to finish them off, but rather to “hook” them with Alexander´s feet, tearing them head first down on the ground.
Background
Monster Child
Born with his special body, Magnus was everything but a normal child. He had enormous appetite that could be matched only by his unusual strength that allowed him to match grown up men in a fight since being just a six or seven years old. Troubled by the unusual nature and growing arrogance of his son, his father, high ranking officer of Holy Remunun Empire´s army raised his son among fellow soldiers taking him through rigorous training rather to strengthen his discipline and character than making him into a soldier. However during his adolescence, Magnus fell in love with this style of life and so became full fledged soldier right after his eighteen birthday.
Promising Marine
Entering the royal army as an eighteen years old, Magnus was official acknowledged as the “strongest” soldier, just a few months after his twentieth birthday. Being young and self confident to the point of arrogance he realized that there isn´t challenge big enough for him in the army and so he left just to enlist into the Marines. There he quickly got a recognition as a strong, orders obeying fighter with just enough tactical skills to allow for a promotion. Thanks to that he rose through the ranks until he became a captain in the age of twenty five. Still driven by his ambitions Magnus requested a transfer to the Grand Line. There however he found a limit of his power. Since he was stationed in the North Blue for his whole previous career, Magnus didn´t feel any urge to hone his skills as relying on his unique body and physical power was enough to deal with everyone he met there. However down there in the ocean where only the best from the best fought for domination, he was more like an average. This cruel revelation came to him in the form of a pirate captain with bounty slightly above 100 Milions Belly. Tracking him down on a remote island, Magnus led attack on his crew forcing the pirates back to their camp when he fought their captain in one on one fight and was holding pretty well until the pirate used his Devil Fruit to finish the fight with single blow.
New Life
Still Magnus was pretty lucky because after the lost battle his men pulled him back on their ship during their retreat, providing him with necessary medical attention before they got back on their base. There, six days after the battle Magnus finally regained his consciousness. He lived, but the injuries he sustained caused permanent immobilization of his right arm. So unable to serve anymore, he was honorably discharged for injury with compensation big enough to allow him to start a new life. And he did. To avoid old memories, he moved to the West Blue where he used his money to enter university on Toroa Island. There, he met two people who once again changed his life completely, Gabriel Moon and Christina. Christina was a studying medicine. Being almost seven years younger then him, she was carefree idealist, who aside of regular medicine was also interested in alternative ways of healing people. Magnus met her by accident, or more likely she founded him. As she was trying to prove that chiropractic and movement therapy can help injured people to recover, she noticed the other student whose right arm was been paralyzed. Learning that it was a result an injury she offered him a to be a part of her experiment and since Magnus had nothing to lose, he agreed. The treatment was long and painful but little by little, step by step he was regaining his ability to use his arm. As for his meeting with Gabriel, it happened few years later. When Magnus was about to go in his final year he heard rumors about a new assistant professor who was incredibly popular among his student. So he took ancient philosophy as one of his extracurricular subject just to sate his curiosity and wasn´t disappointed. Especially when he leraned that Gabriel is marital artist. It was at the end of his last but one semester when he was taking his finished paper to Moon´s office, when he noticed his professor on the courtyard practicing Lightning Kata from the Imperial Phoenix style. Glimpsing reminiscence of his own past, Magnus decided to study under him, but since Gabriel didn´t consider his Fists complete, he rejected him. It took Magnus another month of almost stalking and copying every Moon´s movement, before he accepted him as his student and taught him the earlier versions of his three styles.
Old life
Magnus graduated from university with a basic knowledge of martial arts, fully rehabilitated arm and fiance which he married several months later, when the two of them moved back to his mother country, Holy Remunun Empire. There they lived happily. Christina opened her own clinic and Magnus took a job as a public self defense instructor. They even had a children together, now five and three years of daughters Elena and Sophie. Since Magnus promised himself that he won´t go back to his old life and will practice his martial arts only as a means of self improvement and self defense, they would probably lived very peaceful life ever after if not for that unfortunate incident. A teenage boy who was long term harassed by his peers found and ate Devil Fruit by accident and went on rampage near the place where Magnus and his family were eating lunch. Although he had no intention to fight, let alone a Devil Fruit user, his instincts kicked in. In the end, it was Magnus who won, even through it was a close victory, keeping the boy down until the guards arrived on the scene. Because thanks to him, the casualties were minimal, he was granted a medal or his action and his school gained much wider recognition however nothing of these things really pleased him, because his fighting spirit was awaken once again and not only that. That incident made him realize two things. First, Devil Fruit users were innately dangerous and second, Fruit users weren´t invincible and at the end of the day it was human body what was the greatest weapon. Christina immediately noticed the change that occurred in her husband and the two of them had long conversation until they reached agreement. And so that early morning, Magnus created another name for himself. Alexander, mercenary and Bounty hunter willing to take on any job as long as it involved Devil Fruit users or at least offered him the opportunity to grow as a fighter.
