History
Magnus was born in what was the Dutch East Indies, in the 16th century. He has been cited stating his age at 300 as well as 800, but in actuality he is likely closer to 500 years old.
His mother, who was half Dutch and half Indonesian (as stated in the short story Magnus's Vow), had an affair with an unknown demon. Camille Belcourt states in City of Lost Souls that his biological father is a "Prince of Hell" and it is implied, a very high ranking demon. When questioned about his father, Magnus avoids the question or changes the subject. Previously, he had lived on a farm with his mother and stepfather where it is said that his parents had feared him, even as a young child. When his mother realized what he was, she hung herself in their barn.
His stepfather later attempted to drown him, but, instead, Magnus lashed out at him with his power and burned him where he stood. He was then brought up by Churchmen and raised by the Silent Brothers of Madrid, Spain in the seventeenth century and received his name from them.
The Infernal Devices
Clockwork Angel
In 1878, Magnus is the lover of Lady Camille Belcourt, a vampire. Tessa Gray uses her shapeshifting ability to take the form of Camille and attends a party at the home of London head vampire Alexei de Quincey along with Will Herondale, who is pretending to be her human pet. Magnus acts as their guide through the house, helping the Nephilim determine that de Quincey has violated the Law. During this, he admires Will's blue eyes and black hair, calling it his favorite combination. (This does, of course, match Alec's appearance over a century later.)
Clockwork Prince
Magnus is living in Camille's house and constantly thinking about her since she disappeared and went into hiding. Archer stays and acts like Magnus's doorman, while Walker was taken with Camille. Will visits Magnus, who is helping Will look for a specific demon that placed a curse on him. Due to their failures, he is a frequent visitor.
After the ball at Benedict Lightwood's estate, Magnus appears and interrupts Will and Tessa kissing on the balcony (under the influence of a warlock drug). He whisks them, by magic, off of the balcony and outside. Will then recognizes the demon who cursed him and chases after it.
Later that night, Will made an appearance at Camille's house. He was bit on the forearm by the demon and kept one of its teeth. Thinking that it could be used to summon it, he brought it back to Magnus. He then collapses on the carpet and Magnus carries him to the couch to heal him. Camille returns that night, as well, saying she was in Paris on vacation. Magnus reveals that he tracked Walker to Saint Petersburg where his informants wrote him that she was with a human lover. He realizes that Camille does not want to commit so he says that he is dating Will. Enraged that Magnus would date a Shadowhunter, Camille throws them out. Magnus wakes Will up and kisses him to emphasize his point to Camille. Outside, Will asks if Magnus kissed him, unable to tell reality from fantasy because of the painkilling spells, to which Magnus replies 'no' and explains that the spells can cause hallucinations.
The Mortal Instruments
City of Bones
He is first introduced as the warlock who signed the mind of Clary Fray. He had been hired by her mother, Jocelyn Fray, to erase her memories of seeing anything related to the Shadowhunter World. She initially wished to remove Clary's inner eye, which was providing her sight of Shadowhunter world, however Magnus warned that this would likely kill Clary or in the least drive her to pure insanity. Instead, he casted a spell on her that would cause her to forget anything she saw that was related to the Shadowhunter world. But this spell would fade as time passed, needing to be re-casted every two years.
Clary and the others found him at his New York apartment hosting a party in which Isabelle Lightwood received an invitation from a kelpie in Pandemonium. Magnus, assuming that he was the one who gave them the invitation, said that he "must have been drunk" because he doesn't give invitations to Shadowhunters.
At first, he says nothing about recognizing Clary, but eventually must acknowledge the fact he has known her since she was little, even commenting that he's watched her grow up. At the party, he talks about his tragic past, and Alec Lightwood sympathizes with him and tries to remove the morbid atmosphere, but Magnus brushes it off, claiming that it happened a long time ago. He openly flirts with Alec (flirtatiously asking him to call him and winking at him) who has yet to 'come out of the closet' and sees he is in love with Jace Wayland, his adopted brother. In bonus content from Cassandra Clare, known as "Kissed", Alec confronts his and Magnus' growing attraction to each other and asks him out. Upon learning that Alec has never kissed anyone, Magnus kisses him (resulting in the couple's first kiss with each other) before arranging for a date with him within the week.
At the end of the book, Magnus is called upon by the Lightwoods to heal Alec, who had been fatally wounded while fighting a Greater Demon. Isabelle says that when Magnus showed up he was quite in a rushed hurry to get Alec to a private room in order to heal him.
City of Ashes
Magnus and Alec have been secretly dating, even though Alec still thinks he is in love with Jace. Alec refuses to tell others about the relationship due to how homosexuality isn't approved among Shadowhunters, often resulting in them being kicked out. Magnus takes Jace in to his apartment when he is injured. Magnus is upset by this and nearly tells Jace of his relationship with Alec, but ends up deciding against it knowing that Alec isn't ready for that kind of step yet. In a chapter of the novel, Clary creates a "fearless" rune, which Alec volunteers to have applied to his arm in order to test it to see if it works. In result of applying the rune, he nearly openly tells his parents about his relationship with Magnus as well as his homosexuality, shocking those who are aware of it. However, before he can directly reveal who he is seeing and the importance of it, Magnus quickly uses a spell to momentarily knock Alec unconscious and from revealing their relationship, knowing Alec isn't ready for anyone to know about them yet.
The last scene with them together is on a floating truck, where just after being rescued from drowning. Alec offers Magnus what is left of his strength, who is severely exhausted from using his warlock abilities, so he can continue to use his magic to help the Shadowhunters, who are still on board a ship on the East River. Alec then gives Magnus his strength.
City of Glass
Magnus opens a portal for the Lightwoods so that they can get to Idris, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters. They are attacked by Forsaken, and Magnus is forced to rush everyone through, including Simon, who has been badly injured, even though Downworlders are not welcomed in Idris without permission. Eventually, Magnus ends up in Idris himself (pretending to being the warlock Ragnor Fell, who had been recently killed by Sebastian, though Clary obviously knows it is him).
While he is there, the city is attacked by demons controlled by Valentine, who is bent on wiping out all Downworlders and those associated with them. Magnus is fighting off a horde of Iblis demons when Alec shows up and saves his life. After this, Alec confronts Magnus about ignoring him. Magnus is angry with Alec because he still hasn't told his parents about their relationship and while he loves him, Alec assumes he is in love with Jace (this is the first time either of them confess love to each other) and won't be with someone who loves him "the way [he] does." Shocked that Magnus has directly told him that he loves him, Alec makes a deal with him; if they survive the battle, Alec will introduce Magnus to his whole family (including his parents) to which Magnus, while grinning in happiness, agrees.
A bit later, Alec passionately kisses Magnus (to the latter's shock) in front of a huge crowd of Downworlders and Shadowhunters, including his parents and friends, finally revealing his sexuality and relationship with Magnus. At the end of the book, Magnus is seen off to the side, speaking with Clary. Afterwards, true to his promise, Alec finally introduces Magnus to his parents. In the epilogue of this book, Magnus can be seen talking to Tessa Gray of the Infernal Devices series; she is the girl in the white dress by the tree that Clary somehow recognizes but isn't sure how.
City of Fallen Angels
At the beginning of City of Fallen Angels, Magnus and Alec are touring the world, with Alec occasionally texting Jace with pictures of them together. It seems that they are having a reasonable time, as the photographs depict Alec wearing his usual jeans, while Magnus wears themed outfits for the occasion. At one point, Jace asks Simon if he would like to see a picture of Magnus in Ledorhosen, Berlin.
Their trip, however, is cut short when Camille Belcourt is being questioned, refusing to answer to anyone with the exception of Magnus, thus forcing him and Alec to return to New York.
Despite what can be assumed to be an excellent holiday, sparks begin to fly when Alec soon finds out that Magnus had, indeed, dated Camille centuries before he was born. At this knowledge, Alec listens through the door while Camille and Magnus speak, hearing her compare him to a man named Will. This further upsets Alec, causing several outbursts between the two later on, causing great tension between the couple.
Alec finds himself finally confronting the fact about his mortality in his relationship with Magnus, and how he wants to live with Magnus forever. When he overhears Camille comment that "pretty boys" are always Magnus's undoing, he tells the warlock that he feels trivial to him while also bringing up how he never did anything to be with his previous lovers forever in the past and that he feels that he's just another boyfriend in a long line to him, who will eventually die, as he goes on living. He further states that it is especially unfair, since Magnus is anything but trivial to him. Magnus tries to comfort Alec as he is dragged off to find Camille, who had escaped, saying that Alec is not trivial to him, but Alec is still left unconvinced.
Another issue among the couple is of Magnus not sharing his past with the Shadowhunter. In one scene, it is depicted that Alec angrily asks Magnus if there is "anything that he isn't into" and questions if he slept with a specific werewolf. Magnus inquires if Alec will ask every person he has met such questions, if he's had a relationship with them, to which Alec only answers while still clearly upset, "Maybe."
After the final battle, and everyone is reunited, Magnus finds Alec and they begin to speak. Alec finally confides in Magnus of his fear of eventually aging, and not being with Magnus who will go on to live forever in his youth. He is particularly distressed that they may not even have a chance, and that Magnus has already seemed to have accepted his fate as a mortal. Magnus consoles his boyfriend, telling him that he won't be any more ready to lose him in the future than he is "right now," which he firmly says is "not at all." Revealing he has truly fallen in love with Alec and wants him forever.
The final scene of Magnus and Alec is of them passionately kissing in a corner, wrapped up in each other.
