Bryn Magus was the commander of the battlestar Galactica, father of Iphigenia and Paulus, and a father-figure to Lt. William Adama. Some time prior to the Cylon War (as depicted in the game), Adama's father often saved Magus' life; when Adama was orphaned, Magus looked after the boy as part of his debt to the elder Adama, later welcoming him onboard Galactica when he graduated from flight school.
At the age of 55, Magus was an imposing character, a formidable man, a tactical genius to his troops, and a strong father-figure to pilots such as William Adama, and his two children, Paulus and Iphigenia. Magus owed his life to Adama’s father, who saved him several times when the two men were junior officers, and it is to his eternal regret that he couldn’t save his friend from the Cylons when they were both shot down; Magus subsequently spent a year as a prisoner-of-war on a the Cylon penal world of Ixion before being rescued by the crew of the Battleship Perseus, and ever since felt a duty to protect the younger Adama in memory of his best friend. Rising to the command of the Galactica, Magus was one of the most decorated Colonial officers of his age..
Commander Magus was born on Aerilon in Cyan Province. During his years as a fighter pilot, his callsign was 'Hawk'. During the course of the "Battlestar Galactica" video game's plotline, Magus is abducted by Cylon forces and converted into a half-human, half cyborg agent and turned against his own people.
Note[edit]
The "Battlestar Galactica" video game has its own continuity that uses elements from both the Original Series and the Re-imagined Series.
In some write-ups of the game, his name is written as "Magnus" (Latin for "great"). However, the write-ups are in error, as in the game he is clearly named Magus.
