BIOGRAPHY
For many years, Aurum served as a soldier under Queen Scarlet during the War of SandWing Succession. However, following her disappearance, he has since come to serve Queen Ruby. After the war ended, he retired his duty as an active soldier and now mostly works in assigning territory patrols and filing reports on the activity observed by those patrols. 
While still a soldier, he met Stormbreak after his squadron intercepted SandWing soldiers attempting to bring orders from Blister to the SeaWings by traveling through the mountains. Luckily, Aurum didn't get stabbed by any stingers, but he did fracture a rib when one of the SandWings charged him in a blind spot. Stormbreak was the healer who tended to him. They talked as Stormbreak tended to his injuries, and they got along very well. Over the course of his time as a soldier, Aurum sustained many injuries, and almost every time Stormbreak was there to tend to him. It got to the point where Aurum was almost hoping he'd break something in battle, if only to have an excuse to be around Stormbreak again. With each meeting, their friendship progressed, and eventually became something more. 
When the war ended and Thorn was named queen, Aurum and Stormbreak got married. However, they don't often get to see each other because Stormbreak is constantly traveling. Despite this, their bond is still as strong as the day they were wed, and they will always be counting down the days until they can next see one another. 
RELATIONSHIPS
Stormbreak: They frequently play chess with one another, and their games often last for hours on end. Aurum has yet to win. Whenever he comes close to winning and loses very suddenly, he has a tendency to start raging and flip the board. Stormbreak, however, finds it amusing whenever he's a sore loser, and will just nuzzle him until he calms down. They're married.
Aurum also likes to make small wood carving a, and sometimes makes them specifically for Stormbreak. The one he's most proud of is a small oak crow that he made into a necklace for Stormbreak.
"When will my husband return from the war?" - Aurum, lying dramatically over a fainting couch.
"Stop being so dramatic, I'm literally in the other room." - Stormbreak
TRIVIA
*Has one braincell, but loses it as soon as Stormbreak is within a five miles radius of him.
