Bio:

ERIK MAGNUS LEHNSHERR

Born Max Eisenhardt, Erik has gone by many names. He was born in 1925 in Germany to a Jewish family and was thus a victim of the Holocaust during WWII. His family was rounded up by Nazis, shot, and buried in a mass grave. Max dug his way out and was recaptured. He managed to escape the camp. He went under the alias "Magnus" and one year later he had a daughter, Anya. He was mature for his age, hardened by a rough youth. He was a man in a boy's body.

Magnus and the mother of his child survived the war and kept their new identities. Their daughter grew and began to blossom into a woman. Then Anya was killed in a fire. His powers manifested while trying to rescue her. His wife fled.

Erik assumed a new name and lived among the gypsies. The name Magnus was no good now, as he was outed as a mutant. While living in Israel he met Charles Xavier and began to work with the young telepath on mutant studies. Magneto eventually left the partnership when he realized that his views of human/mutant relationships were incompatible with Charles' in the time they lived in.

Erik spent most of his life organizing mutants. He took in "strays", taught them the beauty of their powers, got them on their feet, and sent them on "jobs." These jobs included interfering with anti-mutant actions (Assassinations, break ins, "riot control"). He donned the alias "Magneto", but his loyal followers never gave his name when they were captured.

He got away with a lot, even murdering the husband of a woman he was having an affair with. Erik hadn't been aware, however, that the woman was on the plane with her husband. He also wasn't aware that their daughter was his own.

He took a brief vacation as Max when he met the daughter of a girl he knew from the Prison Camp. She had been only a child when he had last seen her, but Magda became the love of his life. She was pregnant with twins when she found out that he was a mutant. She left and Erik-- Magnus-- Max-- Magneto-- did not know that she was pregnant. After Magnda left him, Erik returned to his position as a "political organizer."

He was aging now. Erik was losing his youth and with that, his energy. An anti-mutant rally was broken up by some of his old associates and his name was tied to a murder. He was arrested while in a rebirthing chamber. He broke into a facility, trying to gain back his strength and power. Erik shaved at least twenty years off of himself. Erik managed to slide out of that snafu with only a red flag on his MRD file, but he knew that he had two choices. He could either dive head first into the identity of Magneto and become known as a terrorist, or step back and keep his nose clean. Charles offered him a job at the school. Magneto was tempted to reject it, but the idea of educating young mutants, the opportunity to teach them the bitter truth when Charles would just have them live with rose colored glasses, was too appealing. Erik's power was great, but his real strength was always in leadership and organization.

Erik came to Xavier's, where he met up with his children... all three of them. Lorna, who was the product of the affair right before Magda, was the oldest.
