In contrast to his brash and bold brother, Aurelius is a calm and considerate young man, not gifted in the ways of the sword, but given over to being a scholar and thinker. Overshadowed by his brother, he never learned much in terms of combat, instead choosing to spend his time in the family library and listening to his father's tales. Thanks to his silence, bookishness, and delicacy, many treat Aurelius as if he is an aloof princeling, someone looking down disdainfully on others. Aurelius eventually made his war to the realm of Thalmarkin, arriving around the same time as the Fifth Blight. He immediately gathered a redoubtable troop of men and cast aside his fears of war, joining the fight against the Overlord. He was part of the major offensive of Bisana and was the last noble on the battlefield during the defense of Unger against the Darkest Hour of the North. During the invasion, the need for a dedicated expert on magical items and scrolls, and and organizers for the freemen of the realm prompted the creation of the position of Grand Wizard and the Order of the Cold Flame. To his great honor, the position was bestowed on Aurelius. Thanks to his time in the Fifth Invasion, Aurelius managed to shed his cold exterior and his fear of martial confrontation and became a capable commander and exceptional archer.

After the end of the Invasion, the Grand Wizard settled into his reward - the region of Pellan - and immersed himself in books, whores, alcohols, and all kinds of substances, leading him to accidentally stumble on a ship to the East Continent. Serving in the realm of Dunnera - quite by accident - Aurelius' most notable act was the attempted assassination of a king, before he promptly returned to Thalmarkin.

Now the Second Mage of the Order, Aurelius is a devoted and knowledgable mage, despite his debaucheries and vices.
