In the Middle Ages, Magus was found and raised by Ozzie, and eventually become the leader of the Mystics. His reasons for starting his war against Guardia are left in the English version, in the Japanese version he said he was trying to gain power. During the war, he killed [[Cryus]], and when he met [[Frog|Glen]], he turned him into anthropomorphic Frog. He was attempting to summon Lavos during the war, and while the Mystics believed it was to help them win the war, Magus' real intentions were to summon Lavos so he could take his revenge on it. Eventually, after Frog gains the Masamune, the heroes (whom believed that Magus created Lavos because Lavos was said to have appeared in the Middle Ages) go to confront Magus in his castle. After fighting through his minions, he is fought and defeated. After hearing that he was believed to being trying to create Lavos, Magus informs the heroes that he was only trying to summon him. After this everyone is sucked by a [[Time Gate]]. | In the Middle Ages, Magus was found and raised by Ozzie, and eventually become the leader of the Mystics.

While the heroes were sent to [[650000000 BC]], Magus was sent back his own time. During this time, because of his knowledge of the future, Magus was able to convince his mother [[Queen Zeal]] that he was powerful oracle. His aim during this period was bide his time until the point where Lavos appeared and kill it. When he appears on screen at this point, he is wearing a dark blue cloak the mostly conceals his appearance, but if one looks close enough they can see Magus' boot showing. When the heroes appear in the Dark Ages, Magus, out spite for them, convinces Zeal that they are threats that have to eliminated, leading to a battle with [[Dalton]]'s [[Boss Golem]]. Whether the Golem wins or loses, the heroes are captured. Schala, however, is able to convince him to spare them, leading them to be sent through the time gate the entered in, and after which Schala seals the gate shut. The heroes later return using the [[Epoch]] and enter the [[Ocean Palace]] where Zeal is trying to harness Lavos power with the [[Mammon Machine]]. Magus was also there, know that Lavos would appear. After Lavos breaks into the Ocean Palace, Magus throws off his disguise and tries to fight it, but is quickly overwhelmed, but survives.

He can be recruited anytime after defeating the Blackbird. He is found in North Cape (meeting him is still an essential part of the story), and Frog must be in the party. After a short argument (in which Magus mocks Chrono for trying to fight Lavos), Magus will ask Frog if he wishes to fight, or the whole party if they want to fight him if Frog isn't a member.

If Frog refuses (if he does, his reason is that he knows killing Magus won't bring Crono and Cyrus back), Magus will join the party as they start to leave, not actually giving them a choice of letting him or not. Regardless of choice, he tells the heroes that there may be a way to revive Chrono with the aid of the Guru of time.
