Magnus

Magnus was an built by Reiko Kaytana, the first of a dozen built for the Merquise Syndicate on. He was easily distinguished by his blue photoreceptors. He served as a personal bodyguard to Kaytana and her two sons, Nagarian Sakaros and Kylar Tanake.

Biography
Magnus was built in 138 ABY, and was the first of a dozen originally commissioned by Tak Sakaros, then-Underboss of the Merquise Syndicate. Of the twelve, Magnus was the only one given a name. Because he was the first, Reiko took to tinkering with him more than the others. She would program him and then personally test him, wanting the best quality of defense she could build. Sakaros himself also instructed the droid in the basics of all seven forms of.

When Reiko became pregnant in early 139 ABY, Magnus was the head of her protective guard. He trained the other eleven MagnaGuards with Reiko, though she disabled his speech capabilities when the droid acquired sarcasm from being around Reiko's lover Ryssa.

Magnus held schematics for most of Reiko's designs and her will. When Reiko was poisoned, Magnus took up guarding and caring for the woman. She nearly died, but the droid shocked her to keep Reiko's heart going.

In 146 ABY, Reiko and her family, along with their “extended family” from the ziggurat, moved to. Magnus was the only one of the MagnaGuards to go along, the other eleven remaining with the Syndicate's new boss, Ventresca Tan.

On Belsavis, the droid's primary function was more to train with Nagarian than to protect Reiko.

Skills and abilities
Having been personally tutored by former Tak Sakaros and former  Reiko Kaytana, Magnus was proficient in all styles of lightsaber combat even though he could not wield a lightsaber. He was also proficient with many melee weapons and small arms. Being built as protection from Force users, he could adapt to many combat situations and analyze his enemies.

Magnus's own programming was filled with self-diagnostics for injury and he was capable of walking a mechanic through a variety of repairs to himself, as well as to small craft and a number of other droids.

Appearance and personality
Magnus stood 1.95 meters and massed 123 kilograms. His optical sensors were blue. His body was gray in color, and he wore an off-white cloak.

Due to his programming and not having his memory wiped consistently, Magnus took on a “silent protector” personality for his master. He was known to watch over both Reiko's sons, Nagarian and Kylar.
