Magnus Bane személy
– Isten hozta önöket a megfáradt árnyvadászok számára létesített Szent Magnus szeretetotthonban! – mondta mély hangon, és szélesre tárta a karját. – A vendégszobák arra vannak. Ne feledkezzenek meg a lábtörlő használatáról!

At just over a year old, Max was sleeping through the night most of the time now. This was a relief, but also an inconvenience, because both of Max’s parents kept nocturnal hours. Max, on the other hand, kept military hours, waking every morning at five thirty with a cheerful shriek that Magnus both adored and dreaded.
When he entered the living room, now suitably dressed, he found Alec, arms folded, looking long-suffering. In the far corner of the room, next to the ceiling, Max oated, tumbling in the air. He didn’t seem to be in peril—indeed, he was yelling, “Wheeeeeeeeeee,” and appeared to be having an excellent time.
He turned and saw his boyfriend looking wide-eyed at something to the side, and followed his gaze. Then it took a moment for him to realize what he was looking at.
There in front of a velvet-draped stall — Vampires and their velvet, too, Magnus thought —was a full-size cardboard standee of Alec.
He blinked at it.
The cardboard cutout was in full Shadowhunter gear and had Alec's face. Cardboard Alec was holding up a crystal decanter full of crimson liquid, and a speech bubble emerging from his mouth read, in flowing script, Mmmm! That's good blood!
"Magnus,” said Alec slowly, "do you think maybe I have brain damage?”
“I take full responsibility. They were only helping me with some of my research. I’m Magnus Bane, High Warlock of New York, and I’m going to buy all of these.”
The goblin looked suspicious. “I know of you. You’re only the High Warlock of Brooklyn.”
“Technicalities,” said Magnus. “The point is, sir—may I know your name?”
The goblin sniffed. “Well, if you must know. It’s Kethryllianalæmacisii.”
“Really?” said Magnus. “Well, anyway, Keth—may I call you Keth?”
“You may not.”
They settled themselves down on the ground and placed themselves in their usual sleeping positions. Strange things, sleeping positions, Magnus thought. They get set at the beginning of a relationship, when nobody is thinking about it, and then they are set forever. But now it was true: if Magnus was in bed, as long as Alec was lying directly to his right, there was something of home, wherever he was.
When Magnus approached, Max lifted his arms, in silent demand to be scooped up.
“Who’s a wicked, rule-breaking warlock?” said Magnus, complying with the request. “Who’s my baby?”
Max squealed in delight.
Magnus lifted his son up high. Then he tossed Max into the air in a shower of iridescent blue sparks and watched him laugh, perfectly happy, perfectly trusting that when he came down, his father would catch him.
– Az ég olyan színű, amilyennek lennie kell, látni a csillagokat meg a holdat, az épületek is normálisnak tűnnek, nincsenek óriásbogarak. Én azt mondom, előre.
– Nagyon inspiráló beszéd volt, Magnus – állapította meg Jace.
– Egye fene – mondta Isabelle.
