Magnus the Pious was a famous Hero who reunified the Empire of Man, and led its people to victory in the Great War against Chaos. Following the victory he became the first Emperor to be elected in hundreds of years. Magnus is still venerated today as the second greatest hero in the Empire's history. Magnus' achievements include victory over the Chaos horde of Asavar Kul, and overseeing the introduction of state-sanctioned magic-users into the Empire.
