Magna has a huge sense of loyalty especially towards his captain. Furthermore, he also has a protective side when he decides to supervise Asta and Noelle's first mission.

Biography
Magna was raised in a village called Rayaka, located near the border of the Kingdom. As time passed, he joined the ranks of the Black Bull squad, which surprised his fellow villagers. During his tenure in the squad, he developed a huge sense of loyalty to the captain of the said squad.

Sometime later, he picks a fight against Rack Boltia after he ate his dessert. However, Yami stops the fight and introduces the new member, Asta, after which Magna starts to intimidate the new member by saying that Asta must past his test before he is willing to acknowledge him. His test only consists of Asta's evading or blocking his attack. To his surprise, Asta instead deflects his attack, which he manages to narrowly avoid by neutralizing with another attack. Seeing his junior's feat, Magna acknowledges Asta's skill and shows no disrespect after hearing that he does not possess any magical power while handing the squad robe to him.

Subsequently, Magna then takes Asta on a tour of the headquarters, during which they happen to meet with Noelle Silva. Magna gets involved in the confrontation between the two new members when Noelle accidentally shot him with her magic. Magna decides to let it go, even though he did not get his apology from her, and takes Asta to his own quarter. Later that night, Magna is in the vicinity when Noelle loses control of her magical power. He later gives a word of encouragement to her after Asta saved her life.

Later on, Magna bursts out in anger towards Asta during mealtime, when Asta asked about the duty of a Magic Knight, after which Magna and the other members answer him. Not long after, Magna reveals to both Asta and Noelle that their first mission will be hunting a boar in Sosshi village because Magna and Yami lost a bet with another man. Magna e decides to come along as their supervisor, but because of Asta and Noelle's disability to ride a broom and Finral's inability to teleport to unknown places, Magna decides to use his broom, the Crazy Cyclone. After they arrive, an exhausted Magna finds that the village is covered in mist, after which he asks Asta to cut it since it is made of magic.

A moment later, they find that the villagers are about to be executed. Magna quickly activates his magic and saves them but discovers that the man who requested the mission has died. Consequently, he confronts the group of mages in the vicinity, but Heath, the leader of the group, launches his second attack. Depleted of magical power, Magna is unable to retaliate until Asta steps in to stop the attack.

During the fight, Magna protects the villagers while Asta is at the frontline. After Noelle casts her protection spell and sees Asta's tenacity, Magna remembers when his hometown heard about his being a Magic Knight, after which he rejuvenates his conviction, steps out of Noelle's spell, and redoes the initiation ceremony with Asta to defeat Heath. Their strategy works and as soon as Asta defeats Heath, Magna quickly casts a restraining spell on their opponents, but one of the mages manages to escape by using a water magic spell. Nevertheless, Magna is determined to bring Heath and his remaining subordinates to the headquarters for questioning. However, Magna fails to fulfill his aim as Heath uses a magic item inside him to commit suicide along with his subordinates.

After completing the mission, Magna, Asta, and Noelle return to the headquarters and give their reports to Yami. Having received his salary, Magna later goes to the casino corner at the black market in Kikka. At the end of the day, Magna loses almost all of his possession, yet he is still adamant to win.
