"I missed? But Magnus Muzzleflash never misses! Gotta shake the rust off from those years behind bars. Bwa ha ha ha ha!"
―Muzzleflash
Magnus Muzzleflash is a boss character in Magical Starsign. He is a soldier and convicted war criminal working for the Space Police, released by chief Abalon Demar to confront the students of Will-o'-Wisp Academy on Erd. Leading a unit of troopers, he chases down the students with the goal of finding the earth millennium gummy before they can, jeopardizing the lives of Erd's denizens and his own allies.
Brazen and overly confident, Muzzleflash is shown to hold little regard to the lives around him. He is shown to be negligent in his aim, attacking his allies with little care as long as he eventually harms his intended target, though he largely blames this on his rather luxurious stay in prison. Nevertheless, he has an extremely violent nature, and is quick to destroy without a second thought.
Muzzleflash is very muscular and has four arms. His skin is blue, and he wears steel-plated armor over his body that was supposedly crafted by the dwarves of Razen. Two cannons are attached to his glider.

Biography
Early life
Some time ago, Magnus Muzzleflash rained fire upon both his allies and enemies in battle. As punishment for his reckless marksmanship, he was sent to prison and labeled an ally-killer, but received little penalty for his crimes.
Muzzleflash was reinstated into the Space Police by Abalon Demar, whose job was at stake, under orders to subdue the students of Will-o'-Wisp Academy and take the earth millennium gummy on Erd. He later appeared at Ships' Graveyard, ordering a unit of troopers to stop the party as they tried to find the earth gummy. He was shocked upon realizing that his targets were just young magicians, but assured the other policemen that no one, not even children, would be shown mercy. The six students' journey through Erd was interrupted yet again when they arrived at Plateau of the Giant, bumping into another handful of troopers in front of an abandoned hangar. Before they could engage in combat, Muzzleflash dropped explosives between the two parties, blaming his rusty aim on the years he spent behind bars. The troopers fled as Muzzleflash carelessly shot at the students until he ran out of ammo; luckily for them, every shot missed, to which he flew off to reload.
Entering the hangar, the students boarded a flying contraption over the desert and onto Uponisbak, a town upon the back of Tektos the stone giant. Just as they were about to set foot in the Path of Five Organs, more Space Policemen flew in, only to be bombarded by Muzzleflash's bombs. This gave the students time to sneak through Tektos's innards, reaching his skull where they met Shallot the brownie. As they discussed Nova and the etherealization process, they noticed Muzzleflash and his crew lurking outside. While Shallot urged the students to stay hidden, Tektos encouraged otherwise, upon which the students unleashed wild magic to make his skull echo. Descending unto Tektos's cheek, Muzzleflash clashed with the students but ultimately lost. Just then, the other officers received word of strong gummy energy coming from Kahve Ruins, assuming it was the earth gummy. As the troops were about to leave, Muzzleflash prepared to ram himself through Tektos's body. Shallot warned Tektos that Muzzleflash's armor was crafted by dwarves using techniques left behind by Craaken, making it impenetrable. Tektos retaliated by charging a plasma laser in his mouth, and by borrowing earth power from Mokka, it was strong enough to completely vaporize Muzzleflash. The gunman's armor fell into the sand along with Tektos, who in his final moments, ordered Shallot to give the students his soul, the earth millennium gummy.
Trivia
Muzzleflash saying "I'm gonna go on a rampage!" (暴れまくってやるぜ,abare makutte yaru ze) in Japanese
In Japanese, Muzzleflash shouts "I'm gonna go on a rampage!" (暴れまくってやるぜ,abare makutte yaru ze) at the start of battle, but this voice clip was removed in localized versions.
Muzzleflash's personality is slightly different depending on the localization. In the original Japanese version, he speaks in a brash yet menacing tone.[1] In the English localization, he is given a drastically inflated ego, refers to himself in the third person, and often yells in all caps.[2]
Nomenclature
His first name, Magnus, means "great" in Latin. His surname, Muzzleflash, comes from muzzle flash, the light emitted by the barrel of a firearm when being discharged.
