Due to being injected with vampire blood, Helen also appears not to age or age very slowly. At the beginning of the show, she's over years old. Helen was born in Victorian England. Her father was a scientist. She was amongst first women to be trained as a medical doctor. Together they formed The Five and studied and experimented with untainted vampire blood also called the Source Blood. In the course of the experiments each member of The Five injected themselves with the Source Blood, each having a different reaction to the blood.
Helen aquired longevity, and her blood is known to possess healing qualities. Because an electromagnetic field is active, it would mean whoever teleports inside would be vaporized. Despite this, Magnus believes Ashleys life energy may be in the electromagnetic fields buffer.
When it does not, she is forced to accept that Ashley has died. Because of her death, and other loved ones because of her longevity, she tried to find a way to age at a normal rate again. She finds an elixir used by the Mayans in Honduras, but it has the side effect of turning humans into zombie-like creatures. After being shown the potential consequences of the elixirs release by an incorporeal guardian, she decides to leave it behind.
Later on in the season, her leadership of the Sanctuary Network would be called into question by the other heads of house. In "Veritas", she sets up an elaborate scheme to apprehend a telepath named Emma Erica Cerra, whom she suspects of working against the Network. In the scheme, Magnus forges a mental illness and fakes the murder of her butler, Bigfoot Heyerdahl, and makes Emma believe she kept alive Big Bertha, the most dangerous abnormal on Earth, which Magnus was thought to have killed.
However, it is revealed in the season finale "Kali", Magnus did indeed keep her alive in secrecy, but sedated, as she believes that killing Bertha would jeopardize the planet.
His attempt to kill Bertha only succeeds in angering her, and she launches a tsunami. The third season begins with Magnus forcing Wexford to step down as head of the Sanctuary Network, thereby putting herself back in command, while the rest of the team deal with the tsunami. Though they are not happy that Big Bertha is still alive, the other Sanctuary house heads decide to keep Magnus in charge, while also firing Wexford for breaking several protocols.
She learns from Will that when he talked to Kali, the avatar manifestation of Big Bertha, into stopping the tsunami, he saw her father, who left her clues leading to a map leading to Hollow Earth, thought to be the home of every abnormal species on the planet.
In "Breach" Magnus learns Adam Worth is still alive, and he also intends to find Hollow Earth, having been there before and resurrected.
After finding an entrance to Hollow Earth in Tibet, she and the team venture to the underground city of Praxis, where leader Ranna Polly Walker executes her and her team for trespassing. However, they are later resurrected as she wants their help in saving the city, which is facing destruction because a hyperspecies abnormal is not controlling the citys geothermal energy.
After saving it, Magnus and her team and Ranna part in good terms. It is also revealed Worth also came to the city to steal a power source with unlimited capabilities. Though it was assumed Druitt killed him before he could leave with it, it is later revealed in the season finale that Druitt kept him alive and that he is using the power source to create a time machine and cure his daughters leukemia, which could cause untold consequences on the planet.
His first failed attempt causes the destruction of Praxis, and a time dilation bubble in Carentan, France. Magnus fails to stop him from succeeding, but does follow him through a time portal to London in Magnus pursues Worth throughout London to stop him from curing his daughter Imogene, who is meant to die in the timeline.
During the pursuit she tries to avoid her past self, but fails to stop encountering Watson, who quickly discovers she is from his future, but he promises to keep quiet for the sake of preserving the timeline. When Worth chases Magnus later he accidentally kills Imogene, restoring the timeline. After killing Worth, Magnus ends up in hiding for the next years before she can resurface to help Will dealing with a mass of Abnormals invading the surface.
In the season finale, it is revealed that Helen had been secretly working with several important figures of the 20th Century, including Albert Einstein and Buckminster Fuller amongst others, and had built a new underground Sanctuary. The Syfy website describes Magnus as "beautiful and enigmatic" who has "devoted her life to the practical research of cutting edge medicine and science". Her work is to explore the world of abnormals. While the rest of the world dismiss them as monstrous figments of their imaginations and elements of childhood nightmares, Magnus realizes that they are the worlds triumphs and mistakes.
Magnus hence becomes their protector, but in some cases, their captor. She is also described as "bold and straightforward, brave and no-nonsense, yet she remains proudly true to her formal Victorian English sensibilities". Portraying actress Amanda Tapping described Magnus as a "crazy character" who is "very eccentric and very sexy and very unapologetic". Magnus "adores her daughter Ashley, respecting her independence and self-reliance — but that doesnt preclude some occasional mother-daughter friction".
Tapping has said that there is a "huge amount of respect" between the two characters, adding "Ashley knows that when her mother says she needs to do something then she says it for a reason. And Magnus has a huge amount of respect for Ashley because Ashley can do things that she cant. In the first season Magnus recruits Will as her protege. Hes so idealistic, she sees in him all the qualities that she admires, but all the qualities that she knows will probably get beaten out of him over the course of time.
His idealism and purity of thought and the way he analyses things. There are a couple of episodes where theres been this bizarre sexual tension between the two of them. To actually bring somebody on board who, initially, its all about teaching him the ropes.
However, she proves that living forever is not the best of things and finds it hard at times, calling longevity a curse [23] and admits that "dinner parties are hell" [7] as she can't relate to anyone. She has had to bury countless friends, colleagues, and lovers, making her somewhat reluctant to let new people into her heart as she's learned to not get too close to people anymore over the course of the last century. On more than one occasion, Magnus has searched for a way to try to reverse the effects of the Source Blood as she is so often tired of outliving the one's that she loves.
As a physician and scientist, while some of her procedures and treatments may occasionally be considered controversial by some and or unheard of, Magnus does adhere to the Hippocratic Oath. While she studies and treats a wide range of abnormal beings, she does not use that knowledge for ill-purpose acts such as like the Cabal who try to create and or modify creatures something Magnus is adamantly against. Magnus is very cautious with genetic treatments, especially with her uneasiness to 'fly blind' without having the creator and or also the creator's research and notes to follow [5] [25] considering the possibility that her attempts to undo what has been done may accidentally kill the subject outright.
Presumably due to the affects of the Source Blood giving her a unique blood chemistry, besides having Longevity, Magnus seems to require a lot less of certain things than a normal human being does to still be able to properly function.
This includes:. Other physical traits Magnus has gained from the remnants of Source Blood that still lingers in her system include:. Magnus is abundantly seen to be very comfortable in holding and being adept at using a wide variety of weaponry, including but not limited to:.
With a brief glance, Magnus can specify weapons, such as Starstreak missiles. Magnus replicating Worth's Time Node out of scraped parts from old household appliances. One of Magnus's most impressive talents is the ability to recreate tech devices after only seeing and handling them for a brief period of time: she was able to have Henry recreate the stunner weapon she encountered in the Guardian 's alternate timeline.
Helen looks at the "complete pattern" of her paintings after Will assembles them together. In an implanted perfect dream world, Helen is an at-home freelance painter who doesn't show her work publicly at art galleries, but instead prefers to sell her work privately to buyers through her agent.
Magnus smiling at Tesla in " Animus ", after almost being blown up by the holographic map's particle accelerator.
Of Magnus's countless amounts of friends and lovers over the years, there are only a handful of known people with which Magnus has had romances with, as well as interests in:.
Due to Amanda Tapping's prior acting role as lead character Samantha Carter in the massively popular Stargate Franchise , the premise for Sanctuary was to try to make Helen Magnus look completely different, to not be a Sam Carter 2. During the Web Series , she wore a raven colored black wig. During the reshoot and TV Series pick-up, she had actually dyed her hair dark brunette throughout the entire run of the show. In Episode 1x05 - " Kush ", when Magnus call's Ashley's cellphone from the satellite phone after the crash, the contact photo on the screen is a beautiful shot of Magnus smiling at the camera.
In reality, the phone Emilie is using is actually owned by Martin Wood. BTS, Amanda had called his phone from hers, having the contact name on his phone simply changed from "Amanda" to say "Mom" instead. This photo was taken by Martin when they were sitting at a restaurant for dinner right after Amanda had dyed her hair dark for the series.
Some real world parallels between both Amanda and Helen do exist, such as the decision for Magnus to be a natural blonde who dyes her hair brunette later in life.
It's unknown if Magnus's daughter Ashley was always intended for the character to be cast as a blonde, confirming the heredity. Emilie Ullerup who plays Ashley who won the role by beating out several other actresses due to her impressive ability to pick up fight choreography almost instantly is a natural blonde herself, and thus, so is Ashley by default Magnus being a natural blonde may possibly be partially due to this fact to keep continuity. It's a reference to Amanda changing hairstyles between series short blonde to long brunette.
