Aulus
A Gently Gifted Trianoman Bonisagus, hailing from the Rhine. He was Gauntleted at Durenmar in the Rhine Tribunal. He stayed at Durenmar for a couple of years before spending some time in the Stonehenge Tribunal wandering and looking for a new covenant to settle down at. He was summoned back to Durenmar by the Prima of House Bonisagus (Murion) and ordered to join Nova Semitae with the intent on keeping an eye on Julissa, an orbus Bonisagus (now Criamon) maga who was accused of stealing and destroying a rare book written by Trianoma herself.
Aulus has taken Maribus' hut by the rivers as his lab at Nova Semitae.
Aulus became engaged to Jasmine of Mercere in 1219, and married her a few months later.

Companions
In the course of his duties, Aulus has managed to grow his personal 'entourage'. The following are various NPCs affiliated with him. They are presented in roughly the order that Aulus acquired or associated with them.
Sano, Familiar
"Life ain't nothin but fishes and honey." --Sano
History
At the beginning of the Summer of 1210, Sano was discovered to be deathly ill. It became clear that the Cords that bonded familiar to magus had been severed, and that Maribus was likely dead. While his body recovered from the shock, Sano would likely have withered away in spirit after losing the bond to his master, and died anyway. On appeal by Julissa (Maribus' granddaughter and former apprentice), Aulus undertook the bonding ritual for the season in order to save Sano's life.
