Bio
Magus is a character in Squaresoft's Chrono Trigger. In Japan, Magus is known as Maō (魔王), which translates literally to "King of Demons" or "King of Wizardry." It is interesting to note that he has a total of 6666 hit points as a boss, similar to the Number of the Beast.
Magus mysteriously appeared in Medina close to the Mystics (non-humans). He achieved great fame among the Mystics, and later supposedly began a war against the Kingdom of Guardia (humans). His prior history is largely unknown to many people at that time. He has blue hair and pointy ears, and is perhaps the most powerful and adept magic user in the history of the world. His lines in Chrono Trigger are some of the most quoted and parodied in the RPG community.
