* Battle

**August** is a supportive NPC character and potential enemy in *Fear & Hunger 2: Termina*. He is a mysterious gentleman who seems to be aware of what is going on more than the rest of the cast. August is one of the fourteen contestants arriving at Prehevil for the Termina Festival.

*Proceed at your own risk!*

## Lore

August is a mysterious sailor who has arrived at Prehevil, having become a contestant in the Termina festival. He seems to know more than he lets on...

According to Karin, he has a journal full of information on the other contestant's psyches, though this cannot be confirmed true since the journal cannot be found.

## Location

* Day 1 Morning: Can be seen jumping over the gate to the city.
* Day 2 Morning: Can be found right below Kefer's shop. Head south of the gate and go left. A half-cocooned man will appear and August will kill him with his bow. You can speak to/attack him here before he leaves.
* Can be found at the cave area of the Foundations of Decay after the boss fight with the Moonless beast.
* He can be found in the Deep Woods, sitting next to the campfire. If player warns him about seeing the Yellow King and reveals the location of the temple site, he will walk away while saying he has an urgent business to deal with it. At Day 2 Night he will not be present at the campfire. If you interact with the campfire it will say that someone camped here recently.
* If the player is defeated by the Decrepit Priest, they may be crucified in the Old Town square. After a day has passed, August will step in and rescue them, allowing them to escape (albeit missing their legs and with their companions dead).
* It is possible for him to appear in the void room of the White Bunker and witness August attempting to stop Kaiser. Unfortunately, it won't be successful and Kaiser will proceed to kill him.
* Day 3 Morning: Can be found at the forest ruins, shooting fecal hounds.
* He can be found in an alleyway left of the Museum if Karin is in your party, this will lead to a cutscene where Karin will be injured by his arrow (and potentially die if you leave her for too long) or August gets killed.
* Day 3 Night: Can be found at his camp in Deep Woods dead, with his throat slit. It is likely that he committed suicide in order to escape becoming moonscorched.

## Trivia

* Stealing from him can result in 3 Bear Traps.
* Searching his dead body can loot 6 Silver shillings, a Bear trap and a Suede jacket.
* It is theorized that August is a descendant of Ragnvaldr. The possible evidence is that:
	+ 1. Judging by his accent when talking he might be from Oldegård.
	+ 2. He holds the Tormented Soul, which contains similar skills to Bloodlust and Devour.
	+ 3. His main weapon is the bow.
	+ 4. August's portrait is nearly identical to Ragnvaldr's, but is missing Ragnvaldr's left eye scar and his long chestnut colored locks (though August's hair is still near to Ragnvaldr's that the difference could only be spotted by Ragnvaldr's battle sprite).
	+ 5. He holds a strong bond with Moonless, calling her a "family friend" and ordering her to back down after the party's fight with her (should he still be alive).
* When playing as O'saa, you will hear Nas'hrah order O'saa to be careful about him. Surprisingly, Nas'hrah used to depreciate every character and called them worms, but he doesn't use any such insults when talking about **August**. Again, hinting that he is a possible descendant of Ragnvaldr, who Nas'hrah had a history with.
* August's name comes from the Latin name, *Augustus*, meaning 'esteemed' or 'venerable', derived from the Latin word *augere*, meaning 'to increase'. It was a title given to Roman Emperors.
* August is one of two Termina participants, alongside Pav, who never become Moonscorched. Though in his case it's by his own hands.
