HISTORY
In ages past, long before the Academy was conceived, before civilization, before pokemon had even become 'morphs, the world flourished in a simpler age of pokemon. It was during this time that four Magnemite brothers were born. Together, they would explore the world, learning all that they could about it, inseparable. Alas, one day, an accident befell the youngest of the brothers, Magnum, leaving him unable to evolve. As the brothers got older, Magnum could only watch proudly as his older siblings joined together to become a Magneton, but unable to join them.

Time passed, and Magnum watched as the world around him changed. Pokemon got older, and died, and his family was no exception. Magnum could only comfort his brothers as their bodies degraded, and they shut down forever, yet Magnum himself did not seem to be growing older at all. As other species around him began to change in ways beyond just normal evolutions, Magnum remained the same. He found it all to be rather fascinating - he got to learn more about the societies forming, how they interacted with one another.

He watched tribes of pokemorphs build towns, which grew into cities, which fell in wars and were rebuilt bigger. He saw civilizations rise and crumble, and new civilizations rise higher upon their ruins. He witnessed the birth of mathematics, the development of philosophy, the steady growth of science, and the sudden explosion of technology.

Using his knowledge and powers, Magnum created magnetically controlled bodies that would allow him to blend in with these new worlds. With it, he was able to interact with them, make new friends, and integrate himself into age after age. He debated with great philosophers, studied with the scholars throughout history, fought along side those who would become legends, and helped protect the helpless in the Skarmory War of 1032. Though he lost a few bodies, he was always able to build new ones.

When work was complete on the Pokemon Combat Academy, he joined on as an instructor, now going by the name Professor Magnum. It was here that he met, and fell in love with, Mrs. Esmerelda Morgue. He was never able to act upon these feelings, alas, as Morgue was already married. Together though, along with "Buster," and a teacher by the name of Ekewaka, they formed the Academy’s top faculty team, Team Conductor. Named after a train conductor, they were undefeated during their time at the academy. The team came to a tragic end in the Great Fire, in which Esmerelda was killed.

Unable to stand the loss of Esmerelda, Magnum set off into the world once more. He returned over a century later, when he received a called from Buster regarding Esmerelda’s legal battle for custody of the Magnemite-girl triplets. He arrived in time to help her win the case, and decided to stick around. The current faculty at that time assumed he was merely a relative of the original Professor Magnum, long thought to have died in the Great Fire as well.

PERSONALITY
Professor Magnum tends to be rather odd, according to his students. There are times where he seems to be manipulative, like playing a game of chess without a chessboard, while other times he seems goofy, lighthearted, almost like he's got a few screws loose. One thing they do know for sure is that he's rather dedicated to making sure they live up to their fullest potential. To be his friend is to have an ally for life, to be his enemy is ... well, you're really better off not going that far.

He can be very secretive at times, only revealing information when he feels someone HAS to know it. This can be a bit troublesome to those in his plans.

Even though he is still deeply in love with the now ghost-type Esmerelda Morgue, Magnum is unable to bring himself to tell her. He is very happy to have her friendship, and is worried that he might risk losing it.

NOTES
-One of his favorite learned moves is Supersonic. By modulating the frequency and vibration of the sound, Magnum can use this move as a tool in noncombat situations (Ex. Unlocking/locking doors, configuring electronics)
-"The Fighter's Heart" is a lecture course required for all students at the academy to graduate. It is a half-semester course dedicated to finding just what drives a fighter to their goals. The only grades taken in the class are for attendance and participation in discussions. The final in the class is simply the question, "What drives you to fight?"
