## Backstory

Auldrin's past is partially unknown, however it is known that he met The Dark Lord prior to the Great War. He was the first of the eight GoDs to be recruited, earning the title of "The Sword". He had managed to become the king of Avalor and acted as an ally to Nyriod, though was ultimately serving The Dark Lord.

There are many unexplained events and plots that Auldrin caused. For example, he was resonsible for cursing Agaddon Perditor, a fellow GoD, in an attempt to make the extermination of dragons easier.

He is also responsible for the death of Mordich Durgun's family and Kalladia Sethiss' people as well, having sent his generals, Lawbringer and Sloan to commit mass genocides, as well as many of the events that started off the story.

## Personality

Auldrin is known to be an incredibly racist and cruel man. He hates anything that is not human and believes magic is responsible for all the death and destruction in the world. His is called a hypocrite by many, due to his ban on magic in Avalor, yet still uses magical artefacts himself.

He is also incredibly selfish and power-hungry. Auldrin desires to wipe out the inhabitants of the other lands and take them over for himself. Not only that, but he is also sadistic, taking joy in personally killing his enemies just like he did to Durgun.

## Powers, Skills & Abilities

Being a GoD, Auldrin has been enhanced by the dark magic from Vyktor Mortis. Because of this, Auldrin now has the ability to manipulate what someone sees, from other creatures to entire areas. His magic allows him to trick his victim's brains into perceiving everything as real, for example if he creates an illusion of an apple and someone "eats" it, they will be able to feel taste it despite it not actually existing. There is a weakness to this however, such as if someone has never tasted an apple before, their brain wouldn't know what it would taste like, therefore being able to know said apple wasn't real.

Auldrin is also incredibly smart. He is manipulative and cunning and will always see that he gets what he wants. He has thought of everyway to protect his capital from outside threats and also constantly keeps The Godslayers on the move.
