Magnus Eisengrim

Magnus Eisengrim is one of the major characters in The Deptford Trilogy, written by Robertson Davies.

Magnus is one of the names taken on by Paul Dempster. Like several of the main characters in Davies' novel Paul undergoes a symbolic rebirth which is accompanied by a name change. It is eventually revealed that this name is derived from that of Isengrin, a wolf in the stories of Reynard the Fox.
