This character appears in 7 books.


  1. The Mortal Instruments: Book 1

    City of Bones

    by Cassandra Clare

    Magnus Bane: The gay High Warlock of Brooklyn, throws lots of parties and wears lots of glitter. Gay with an interest in Alec and not afraid to show it.

  2. The Mortal Instruments: Book 3

    City of Glass

    by Cassandra Clare

    Magnus Bane: The High Warlock of Brooklyn, Magnus is a very powerful warlock. He is sarcastic, hilarious, and affectionate. Magnus has straight black hair that is down to his shoulders but usually spiked up with gel and covered in glitter. Magnus really likes glitter, sparkles, rainbow clothing, leather, bright colors, and so on. Magnus has feelings for Alec (and his blue eyes) but exactly what's going on between them is somewhat of a mystery. Magnus has gotten the Shadowhunters out of trouble many times, and Alec has gotten them out of the exorbitant fee. Magnus is about 800 years old (when Clary asks his age, he flippantly replies that he was alive "when the Dead Sea was a lake that was just feeling a little poorly.") but is forever frozen at the physical age of 19. His great power and wisdom combined with his youthful looks, fashion sense, and sense of humor make him seem in his 20s.

    Memorable Quotes by Magnus Bane:

    “And I love that about you, though I would also love you if you owned, perhaps, one designer suit. What do you say? Dolce? Zegna? Armani?”

    “You should leave him here. I could hang hats on him and things.”

    “Alec refuses to acknowledge that we have a relationship, and so I refuse to acknowledge him.”

    “Your city is under attack," he said. "The wards have broken, and the streets are full of demons. And you want to know why I haven't called you?”
