== Description ==

Auster is a small man with dark hair and an immaculately styl]]ed goatee. He moves slowly using a cane, gripping handholds ever so tightly for support as he finds it. He is considered friendly (for a Magus) by the Covenfolk, even though he is starting to get a reputation for snap judgments by his fellow Magi. Fortunately, so far he's been more right than wrong, but will that last?

As a descendant of Mari who took the shape of a large goat, he has been gifted with goat's legs (covered by the Lame flaw) and a permanent goatee. The goatee can be shaven off, but will be back at the next sunrise.

== Vital Statistics ==

* '''Size:''' 0
* '''Age:''' 26 (26)
* '''Decrepitude:''' 0
* '''Warping Score:''' 0
* '''Confidence:''' 1 (3)
* '''Sigil:'''  When Auster cast spells they are accompanied by sudden weather effects (a gust of wind, a distant thunderclap, a sudden dampness in the air). This is beyond his control and never large enough to grab hold of through ReAu magic. Depending on the effect, this can be quite unnatural when indoors.
