Ever since I saw Flashback, I've had this sort of theory that the Magnus from Divided Loyalty and the War Chief from The War Games are different people.

The short version; The Magnus from Divided Loyalty dies at some point, and Koschei, who had always admired him, takes his name of "Magnus" to honour him, a nickname that would stick all the way to Flashback. Eventually, "Magnus" would ally with the War Lords, having heard of them from the original Magnus, and eventually regenerated into Roger Delgado's Master, as seen in the Timewyrm books.
