Biography: Halmorian, Aulus is typically very thoughtful and deliberate in nature. Often described as stern or intense, he somehow manages to appear so, even when his familiar, a singularly sleepy, lazy rabbit, sits perched atop his head, snoozing. A cat or two often wander with or around him, more in his personal spaces, such as his office. A former Obelisk Agent, adept of the Obsidian Academy, and priest, Aulus brings a variety of experiences to his calling, teaching and instructing.

Aulus favors a system of apprenticeship and practical instruction in fields other than the arcane, to help prepare those who wish to become mages. To him, the actual working of a spell is the easiest and least part of what it is to practice the mage's craft and wield power, and Aulus, even when he was younger, always a student of power in it's myriad forms.

He is the author of the work On Mages and has begun to prepare new copies of the tome for those who study from him. He serves as an instructor at the Arcane University of High Reaches, and has a reputation for treating every apprentice differently, according to their needs and abilities, when they come to him for advanced studies.

His hair is long, in a ponytail, with gray streaking the black, and a trimmed but bushy beard along his jaw. He often favors robes, though more often than not, those robes are laid over the chain of the Obelisk Agents, which does nothing to hinder his ability to work a spell when necessary.
