Magnus / Cinderborne HSR

He had not been subjected to the Happiness Surgery and was not involved in the murders of Skott and the Synwish Syndicate. Magnus meets the Trailblazer and two other members of the Astral Express in-person during their tour of Pearluxe Tower. Later during the tour, he, alongside his Daybreak Squadron teammates, become mock opponents for the Trailblazer in a demonstration of mechatron combat, and he leaves afterward with an autograph from his hero. Sometime afterwards, Magnus attends a gathering of the Research Society of Happy Smiles, and was spotted by Ashveil, who was there alongside Kuchiba to investigate the society's ties to the "New Herald of Death". Though initially noncomplient when asked about the Smiles Society, he eventually reveals the existence of a "Happiness Surgery" that all Society members must undergo. In response, Ashveil firmly advises against undergoing the surgery, before letting Magnus go. Later, he appears alongside the rest of the Daybreak Squadron as actors for a play at Star Rail FEST based on the Xianzhou Luofu. However, things go off the rails when they reveal their identity as Supplicants and challenge the Trailblazer on the spot, though Magnus does so reluctantly. After being defeated, the Squadron retreats to Astral Plaza, where the Nameless eventually confront them with the help of Ashveil and Kuchiba. Despire Ashveil's insistence, Magnus chooses to support his teammates, and assists them with activating the Pom-Pom mechatron and doing battle against the Nameless. After the battle, Magnus begged his teammates, now driven mad with happiness, to see reason. However, Ashveil deems them too far gone and devours them with his "shadow," despite his protests. After being extracted from the torn scroll by Pearl, a remorseful Magnus, now unable to deny the crimes of his teammates and Fulwish and realizing he is merely an actor in the grand scheme of things, is taken in for interrogation.

He's an actor. Cinderborne is the youngest member of the Daybreak Squadron, the lead actors of Planarcadia's popular show of the same name.

He has an idol, Trailblazer from Astral Express, and looks up to her/him. Magnus considers himself too weak, both in combat and in life, always trying to emulate the image of Trailblazer. As a child, he had no one to teach him how to live and fight properly. In high school, he fell in with street bullies, and every time he beat or threatened someone, he considered himself a hero. But seeing the frightened faces of those people, Magnus realized more and more clearly that he was doing wrong. After seeing the story of the Astral Express online, he understood what it means to be a true hero. Realizing his folly, Cinderborne broke away from the bad company.
