"He carefully maintained the blasé air of one who had been here before and had been incredibly well dressed that time too"---- The Bane Chronicles.

Ragnor is a tall man. He has four warlock marks: green skin, white hair, pointed horns on his temples, and extra finger joints. His white hair is curly, his small horns curled inwards. Ragnor was somewhat grouchy and serious. Despite his unfortunate coloring, Ragnor wore it proudly instead of using glamour to hide it. Though he was often considered cranky, Ragnor also had a sense of humor and was kind, and despite his apparent dark outlook on life in general, he can also be quite optimistic.

Ragnor became the High Warlock of London. Around 1872, Ragnor was employed by Charlotte Branwell to keep an eye on the Herondales. He lost track of them when the family moved. Around six years later, Ragnor was called upon by Charlotte, asking him once again to monitor and investigate the Herondales. Once there, Ragnor began asking around about the Herondales and their connection to Mortmain.

Ragnor began living, albeit temporarily, in a glamoured small stone house in Idris just outside Alicante, when he was no longer the High Warlock of London. He then agreed to teach at the Shadowhunter Academy in 1899. Initially doing it as a diversion from his magical studies, it eventually became a regular job and he moved into a room at the Academy, despite his general disdain for Shadowhunters, as he hoped to reform them and their relationship with Downworlders through influence on his students.

In 1953, Ragnor visited Magnus in New York. There, he met Raphael Santiago while the newly-turned vampire was staying with Magnus. Initially mistaking them for a couple, Ragnor was disgusted at the thought of Magnus being with a sixteen-year-old boy. However, when Raphael revealed that he found the idea of being with Magnus revolting, the pair bonded over Magnus' oddity, much to the latter's annoyance. The two kept in constant contact ever since, wanting to maintain good relations between their kinds.

In 2007, Ragnor heard from Raphael that Magnus was dating the Nephilim Alec Lightwood. When Magnus called him for advice, Ragnor expressed his disapproval and refused to become involved.

Ragnor had contacted Magnus to meet him at his home in Idris, not knowing about Clary arriving to ask for the Book of the White with Sebastian. He told Magnus that Sammael was after him as he was an expert in dimensional magic and he wanted Ragnor to find him a realm. Ragnor decided to fake his death, and destroyed his home, knowing it would be blamed on Valentine Morgenstern.

Shortly after faking his death, he was captured by the warlock Shinyun Jung. She locked him in a secret cell in her house and tortured and neglected him. She evidently told him her plans to take Magnus down to which Ragnor told her she would not succeed as Magnus was a formidable foe. When he proved to be right, she beat him and then told him he'd be sorry for it. She went on to say that she had a new plan he would help her with as no one was coming to save him because everyone thought he was dead.

In September 2010, he broke into Magnus and Alec's apartment with Shinyun and stole the Book of the White. While there, Ragnor held Max hostage to get Magnus to cooperate. Shinyun then used this opportunity to stab Magnus with the Svefnthorn though it had not been part of the plan.

By September 2012, Ragnor, as Shade, was at the London Shadow Market. He lied to Hypatia Vex to corroborate Kit Herondale's story that he was on business from Barnabas Hale. He took Kit and the Blackthorn twins Ty and Livvy into his tent and activated the aletheia crystal they found at Blackthorn Hall. He conversed with them while he worked and revealed that he knew Kit was the lost Herondale.

When Kit came to visit him alone one day, Ragnor found out that the Julian Blackthorn and Emma Carstairs had found a cure for the illness and told him to ensure that Catarina and Magnus be the first to get it. When he learned that Magnus was at the Institute, he asked Kit to tell Magnus about him. He then told Kit about his parents: that his mother had been the Herondale, advising him to look into her.

During the battle between Livia's Watch and the Cohort, Ragnor—wearing a shirt with the words "Ragnor Lives"—provided Magnus with his strength to darken the sky with their magic and allow vampires to join the battle. Later, when Kit used his own magic against the Riders of Mannan, Jem and Tessa spread the rumor that it had in fact been Ragnor.

Some weeks later, Alec told him of his plans to wed Magnus as a surprise to Magnus at a party in Los Angeles. Ragnor helped set everything up and even conjured food and refreshments for everyone. When it came time for the ceremony, he and Catarina fought over which of them would walk Magnus to the altar. Catarina won out which greatly upset Ragnor though he quickly got over it and set off marriage rune shaped fireworks.
