Magnus Cadence is the current head of House Cadence and a renowned Valian duelist. He's the father of Tristan, Corin, and Sera Cadence. He had the Shaper Attunement from the Serpent Spire
Appearance
He is a tall, athletic man with grey eyes and short trimmed black hair with streaks of grey along the temples. He is noted by Corin to be the perfect image of a nobleman[1].
Personality
Corin describes Magnus as a very deliberate man. Like most Valians, he considers combat focused attunements to be of higher value and considers Corin a failure for getting an Enchanter instead[1]. He "trained" Corin ruthlessly which caused broken bones and heavy bleeding.

- Corin Cadence
- Magnus took Corin out of school and beat him over the course of several years to prepare the boy for hisJudgement. This repeated abuse gave Corin trauma and scars that Magnus disregards, due to which they have a very strained relationship.

- Sera may be the bastard daughter of Magnus. Sera only learns of Magnus being her father when he decides that, due to Corin's perceived failure, she might be a better choice of an heir.
