"*I am made of impossible things . . . Swamps that grow in darkness without the sun to kiss the leaves awake and unfurling. I was born in a lake that had no love for me and demanded my survival. I was given a brother I was never supposed to have. I was an Unseelie King who fell for a Seelie King who wasn't Seelie.*"
―Augus Each Uisge[[Game Theory, Chapter 41: Faith]]
**Augus Each Uisge** is an Unseelie waterhorse, and the current incarnation of the each uisge. He worked as a healer prior to becoming a friend of the Raven Prince, some time after which he was captured and tortured by the Nightingale. Upon his release, he became the Raven Prince's advisor, and concocted a plan to take over the Unseelie Court, unknowingly allowed by the Raven Prince. During Augus' Kingship, he partnered with the Nightingale, and used the Blight to destroy many waterways in the fae realm, killing many and leaving many others homeless, when they still often died. He was defeated by Gwyn ap Nudd, Ash Glashtyn, and an assortment of allies, and Gwyn took him as prisoner in the Seelie Court. During his imprisonment, Augus and Gwyn fell in love, and Gwyn eventually released him to the Unseelie Court. After Gwyn took asylum in the Unseelie Court himself, Augus convinced him to become King of the Unseelie, and Gwyn made Augus his Advisor and Consort. Augus began working to restore the waterways he'd damaged with the Blight. Augus accompanied Gwyn, Mosk Manytrees, Eran Iliakambar, Ash, and Julvia Dubna Vajat on a quest to deal with the ice plague and defeat Olphix. Afterward, he restored his health, and eventually he and Gwyn reconciled and began living and traveling together, having little to nothing to do with Court affairs.

## Appearance

#### Pronunciation

AW-gous (like August) YACH or ACH OOSHKA

When Gwyn first met Augus as an adult, he noted that Augus was lithe “and svelte, tall and lightly muscled. His hair was long and black and straight and gleamed greenish in certain lights, and the waterweed he grew from his scalp was healthy. His eyes burned an emerald green so bright it would be out of place in the human world. His muscles were long, he had a taut waist.'

Although Not-Poignant has said on their tumblr that Augus will sometimes tie his hair in intricate braids, throughout the canon Augus only wears it tied with a single tie, or down, and mostly the latter. His hair is always wet, and drips water at varying speeds depending on his health. The type of waterweed in his hair is a unique species of *Elodea.* He is described as having sparse body hair, and flat, straight pubic hair.

Augus' skin is lightly freckled across his shoulders and cheeks. The freckles stand out more after prolonged exposure to sunshine. When Augus is hunting or feeling strong predatory emotion, his eyes can glow brightly. He has an aristocratic face, and androgynous features, though his jawline is strong. He has black, thick eyelashes and eyebrows. His fingernails terminate in dull, black, hooked claws, which he sometimes files down. He is considered beautiful among fae circles.

'Augus talked almost like a Courtier, but he had a welsh accent'.

Augus has a strong personal style and sense of fashion, and is often seen making his own clothes even in circumstances where he can purchase them (though he buys them too). He prefers to wear formal clothing. He prefers 'water-wicking fabric of the waterfae, that never became damp no matter how wet his hair was. . . . [and] button-up shirts and pants fashioned after the modern cuts of what Ash wore, except in fae fabrics.' Most often, he wears tight, black pants, and a dark green, long-sleeved collared shirt that is buttoned down the middle. He is often seen wearing shades of grey or other shades of green, and will sometimes wear prints or embroidery. He also wears long coats and vests. He also typically wears boots.

During the Masque, Augus 'wore a costume of a stylised blue-violet-black peacock. His waistcoat – over a gleaming black collared shirt – was embroidered with scalloped feathers of blue, and over that, a tailcoat that was decorated at the back with peacock tail feathers, the long quills embroidered, and the eyes furnished with blue-violet nacre and impressive beadwork. At his neck, Augus wore a feathered collar of royal and pavonate blues that became deep green at the base.

The mask itself was a regal peacock of the kind that were thought to be extinct now; the royal peacocks of old, who neither existed in the fae world or the human world. Leather worked finely, painted so realistically that it looked as though real feathers had been used on the mask, shimmering with beads and pigmented dust alike. At the crown, feathers crested. The mask only covered three quarters of Augus’ face, leaving his mouth clear, though deeply shadowed beneath the shape of the beak. His eyes were lined thickly with black kohl, his lashes painted to make them stand out in the brightness of his costume.'

Although generally not given to wearing jewelry, he used to carry a charm that Gwyn made for him to contact Gwyn in times of need, but this didn't quite work out. For a time he wore a hagstone charm on his wrist, described as 'a pale green crystal' or 'a ring of serpentine . . . too large for a finger', that Gwyn made for him. During the last Wild Hunt, he wore 'dark green cufflinks'. During the ice plague, the Raven Prince gifted him 'a necklace of black chain, with a pendant of pale grey crystal', so that Augus could feed off fae. Augus wore it for a time.

While Augus was traveling the fae realm, he accepted some accessories as gifts, including 'a hair clip with a length of faceted emeralds tied along it, to be pinned into his hair. It looked like it could have been waterweed'. He also accepted a 'silver cuff with malachite set in patterns all around it. Black travelling boots with buckles that jingled nicely as he walked. A new water-wicking cloak with a comfortable collar and hood that drew in rather nicely at his waist. A new black belt. A brooch with an enamel waterhorse upon it.'

During the ice plague, Augus wasted away from hunger. 'Mosk noticed the bruises beneath his eyes, the thinness of his chapped lips and thought of the wild creature inside of him that had felt like it was dying of starvation for such a long time.' He was also very pale. When the Each Uisge/his hunger for human flesh takes over, Augus' eyes turn glowing green. He also began to smell so strongly and horribly that you could smell it from outside whatever room his in.

After eating fleshfruit from the fleshfruit tree, 'Augus’ mane was wetter, his skin was less pale, and sometimes his eyes flickered beneath his eyelids.'

Five years after the battle with Olphix and teleportation to the human realm was once more available, Augus was seemingly as healthy as he'd ever been in appearance.

## Personality

Augus is introverted, insightful, and cunning. He is also an accomplished sadist and dominant. and sometimes thinks of people in terms of their vulnerabilities and how he can manipulate them (with the exception being Ash, though he is still very insightful regarding his brother). Augus can also be quite soft-hearted towards those he loves, and will sacrifice a great deal to help those he cares for. He's considered unusually caring for his species, given he adopted and raised Ash as a younger brother, and no each uisge prior to him has ever cared for a brother before.

Augus cares for his clients, and one reason he often avoids seeing them a second time is because that 'care would grow, and Augus liked to stay detached from everyone.'

Augus prefers to conceal his own emotional state, especially if he feels vulnerable. Augus is very private, secretive, loathes gossip, and even prefers to do things like dance and sing in private. He also has issues sleeping around others. He dislikes anyone who isn't Ash or prey seeing him transform into his true-form, or even the thought of it happening. He is terrified of being gagged, potentially in part because it's opposite his now former heartsong of dominance, and his torture under the Nightingale.

Augus has no head for strategy, unless he is helping or assisting someone else. However, when it comes to interpersonal relationships, he is unusually perceptive, and will manipulate relationships to go his way, although sometimes he will help others with their problems.

Augus has a mean streak, and often lashes out at safe targets when he is frustrated or annoyed. Augus can sometimes be cruel for the sake of being cruel, appearing to savour insult even when he regrets it later, or takes it back. He is not given to apologising, but does experience regret.

Augus considers himself a monster, and is somewhat proud of the moniker, in the sense that he's powerful and sadistic, and he's fine with that. He also loathes the open sky.

Augus doesn't 'like to dance in public.'

Augus noted that his inner waterhorse is 'a part of me . . . He is behind my bloodlust and my hunger and my passion to fold lakes into my being and let them emerge whole and hale. But he thinks differently to the way I do. The more I do for him and his pleasure, the more in harmony I feel, the better connected I am to the environment and the land around him.' The Glashtyn also noted that although Augus used to be one being, Augus Each Uisge, Augus and the Each Uisge also split, like Ash and the Glashtyn. Augus noted, 'My Each Uisge – while he wishes we would eat more – has a cordial relationship of mutual respect with me. He knows and trusts that I will eat when I’m hungry, and that I will hunt the tastiest food for us both.'

## Life

### Early Life and Pre-*Game Theory*

Augus was born in a lake in Ethallas forest, near the An Fnwy estate, in the fae side of Wales. Augus has no memory of how he chose the name 'Augus', due to the torture he experienced later in life.

He 'learned to teleport into the human realm before [he] learned [he] needed to eat meat to live.' He was initially friendly to humans, and even befriended one in particular, named Matthias, who was kind to him, and didn't try to capture or bridle him. Their friendship lasted for years, and Augus believes Matthias rescued him at least once from other humans who tried to hurt Augus. Matthias later became the first human Augus ever ate. ‘After that [Augus] realised humans are creatures for consumption, nothing more. . . . [Augus] learned – the hardest way, I suppose – humans are only food, and fae may be friends.’

Augus lived in Ethallas on his own for around five years before the glashtyn was born there, too. Augus did not initially want to care for him, but took him in anyway, dutifully raising and caring for him throughout their childhoods, and in time, they came to consider each other brothers. Augus even named Ash himself when Ash was seven years old and Augus was eleven, after the prickly ash tree. Augus even forced himself to shift to human-form for the first time years before he should have, in order to better provide for the two of them. Ash later did the same.

Ash and Augus lived an often difficult life in their early years, frequently coming close to starving to death. They routinely tried to sacrifice for each other, with Augus winning out as the older sibling, and forgoing food so that Ash could eat. At some point in Gwyn's youth, he discovered Augus and Ash in Ethallas forest while hunting with his hounds. Gwyn recalled the dogs, and then 'made a passing comment about how it was a good thing that no one had pilfered from the winter orange grove down by the frozen river, as it was hidden so well. He’d claimed that those oranges were wonderful in the dead of the season. He’d turned resolutely, called his hounds to follow him, and Ash had muttered with chattering teeth that the boy was an idiot.' Augus and Ash found the oranges, which saved their lives for another winter.

Ash and Augus also had a great deal of freedom in their youth, and liked Augus' lake and each other's company, as well as foraging and 'tending the land'. Ash helped Augus 'try new things'.

Unlike previous each uisge, who were content to live a predatory lifestyle and otherwise remain solitary within their lake, Augus took on a vocation for himself as a professional dominant and sexual healer. His first heartsong of dominance thrived on his mastery over himself, his surroundings, and his clients, and he took great pleasure in healing those who could not afford professional healers. He also taught himself herbalism for healing and is accomplished with wortcunning. He would spend much of his time in and around his lake tending to and harvesting plants, using his growth abilities to make them hardier and, at times, more plentiful.

Eventually, Augus came under the notice of the Raven Prince, who admired his beauty and wished to have him in his Unseelie Court. Augus was not interested in the life of a courtier and so only sparingly visited the Court, preferring the simple but satisfactory life he had made for himself.

Augus was helming the Wild Hunt for the Raven Prince by the time Gwyn approached Augus for help.

At some point, while Gwyn was a regular War General and not the Oak King's personal War General, Lludd Llaw Eraint convinced Gwyn to steal the enchanted sword Creiddylad from Gwythyr ap Greidawl. Lludd lied that it was An Fnwy property. Gwyn defeated Gwythyr, took the sword for his own, and then beat Gwythyr again when Gwythyr returned for revenge. When Nwython, one of Gwythyr's soldiers, taunted Gwyn, Gwyn used Creiddylad to cut open Nwython's chest, ripped out his heart, and then fed it to Nwython's son, Cyledr, making Cyledr go mad. Gwyn fled the site to seek Augus' help in destroying his heartsong of triumph, and planned to kill himself if Augus refused or failed. Augus delved into Gwyn's psyche, and was successful in destroying the heartsong. Gwyn's new heartsong was wildness. Augus told Gwyn that Gwyn was unhappy, and '[a]ny heartsong you gain that isn’t triumph will still corrupt if you don’t take steps to nurture whatever… capacity for contentment that you have.'

After the Raven Prince seemingly redirected the Nightingale's attention to Augus, the Nightingale kidnapped Augus and tortured him for a year in the underworlds, where he underwent excruciating physical and mental torture that deeply scarred him. No one save Ash bothered to look for him. After his release, he went to the Raven Prince and became part of his court, where he obtained the position of advisor. Augus hadn't trained under any tutors prior entering the Raven Prince's court, and while there, learned the rapier under the Raven Prince and tutored with Fluri the Mouse-Maiden on meridians. He also learned Courtspeak and how to erase his accent, to the point that he barely remembers his original accent, as well as 'learning languages and lettering', though he says his penmanship is less fine than Gwyn's.

He spent years seducing the Raven Prince, as part of a plan to overthrow him. When the Nightingale came to the Court and the Raven Prince seemingly welcomed him, it terrified Augus. The NIghtingale continued to torment Augus, whether by his presence or in actuality.

Augus finally confronted the Raven Prince, but the Raven Prince simply appointed Augus as the inheritor for the Kingship of the Unseelie Court without a fight, and allowed Augus to harm him and basically kill him, as part of a ploy to avoid the machinations of Olphix and Davix. Augus used a memoryeater from the underworlds on the Raven Prince, which stole the King's mind. After Augus killed the memoryeater, and while Augus was being filled with the power of Kingship, the Raven Prince transformed into a mindless raven, and flew away. Augus hid the truth of the encounter from everyone for years.

After several years of Kingship, during which he invited the Nightingale to serve at his side, and poisoned many water ecosystems with the blight, leading to the deaths of countless fae, Gwyn, Ash, and other allies came together to defeat Augus. Gwyn demoted him to underfae and imprisoned him in the Seelie Court. Augus' demotion to underfae released much of his core energy into the surrounding area, restoring the dark cavern where he'd been defeated, and keeping it alive and healthy for about a year, and possibly beyond.

### *Game Theory*

Gwyn tortured Augus during Augus' captivity. Augus began to recover from much of the madness the Nightingale had left him with and over time took a more dominant role in his relationship with Gwyn, noting that there was something wrong with Gwyn's mental health. After Gwyn attempted to hunt Augus like an animal, Gwyn took Augus back to Gwyn's rooms, rather than leaving him in a cell, which gave Augus access to a lake. Later, Gwyn was forced to put Augus on Display, where Augus remained leashed, in waterhorse form, as Gwyn paraded him around a crowded Seelie Court throne room. Augus spotted Ash - unresponsive because of his inebriated state - and was so alarmed that the encounter traumatized Augus.

Efnisien ap Wledig accidentally ran into Augus in Gwyn's chambers, and talked about a plot against Ash, which caused Augus to kill Efnisien. After feeding Augus liver and nearly killing him for the murder, Gwyn promoted him to Capital status to save his life. Gwyn then investigated the supposed plot, and discovered there was something concrete to it: Efnisien, directed by Crielle ferch Fnwy as a ploy to unseat Gwyn, supported the rumor that since Ash and Gulvi Dubna Vajat were co-rulers, their power as individual rulers was weaker than a monarch ruling alone, because they both had to share from one pool of power. As supposedly weaker monarchs, they would be easier to defeat, which would strike a blow to the Unseelie Court. Gwyn knew this wasn't true - co-rulers do not share power: they each have the same amount of power as a a monarch ruling alone - but made sure to alert Gulvi and dismantle the conspiracy.

Augus' promotion helped flip the power dynamic between them even more: Augus took even more control over the relationship, and the pair made a number of blood-oaths with each other, which largely gave Augus a great deal of control over a somewhat naive Gwyn. Gwyn's increasing despair over his growing attachment to Augus and the increase of Crielle's control over the Seelie Court only gave Augus more control over Gwyn, though Augus had to later force Gwyn to make a blood-oath that Gwyn would accept aftercare. The pair delved into each other, though Augus largely poked and prodded at Gwyn's past and mental health.

Augus accidentally ran into two of Gwyn's guards: Stornbeck and Uther. They attacked him on sight, though Gwyn came to his rescue. Augus pointed out that if they were allowed to leave, they'd talk about seeing Augus, so Augus killed Stornbeck. When Uther attacked Augus in revenge, Gwyn killed Uther.

When Augus pushed Gwyn into a roleplay scene where Augus tortured Gwyn, which Gwyn felt he deserved, Augus managed to use an ingrit weapon on Gwyn, nearly killing him. The pain of nearly breaking a blood-oath jolted Augus back to sanity, and he pulled them back to Gwyn's rooms, where he helped clean Gwyn up, and they had a conversation about what Augus was going through, and how Gwyn was in danger at the Seelie Court. Augus also requested that Gwyn procure a human for Augus to eat, which Gwyn shortly obliged.

Shortly after this, Augus became more protective of Gwyn. Augus kept pushing Gwyn to talk about his light, despite the fact that it made Gwyn uncomfortable. Gwyn talked more about his past, and Augus was able to figure out that Gwyn was Unseelie, which terrified Gwyn. Gwyn nearly killed Augus over it, so Augus blood-oathed to never tell anyone. This was also when Augus first learned about Mafydd Brant.

Augus tried to hide from the fact that he cared about Gwyn by explaining it away as squaring away the debt of Gwyn saving his life when capturing Augus, rather than executing him.

Gwyn made freeing Augus - and ensuring his survival afterward as much as possible - a priority, which involved consulting with the Old Lore for aid, and seeking out Ash's help in obtaining a Soulbond, so that Augus and Ash would be bound to each other, and Augus would be protected by the fae realm's love of Ash. Gwyn also went to Tigbalan and exchanged his own torture for invisibility, which he later transferred to Augus so that Augus would be able to hide better. Augus was furious at Gwyn's actions, but accepted the invisibility. The torture weakened Gwyn so much that Augus could use compulsions on him, which Augus made much use of. At one point, Augus snuck up on Gwyn using the power, and when Gwyn noticed him, Gwyn's instincts made him badly injure and nearly murder Augus.

When Ash obtained the Soulbond and traveled to the Unseelie Court to meet with Gwyn again and see Augus, Augus was overjoyed to see him, but shocked by Ash's bedraggled appearance. Ash revealed that Gwyn had lied about Augus' imprisonment: Ash hadn't refused to keep Augus; Gwyn had taken him as prisoner. Though Augus was angry at Gwyn for the deception, he wanted to get to the point. Ash presented the unactivated Soulbond, which Augus initially refused. Gwyn presented the terms for the oath he'd drafted, then left them alone to discuss. They completed the ritual.

Augus confronted Gwyn about the Soulbond, still angry about what Gwyn had done to Ash, and for lying to Augus himself. Their argument made Augus realize that Gwyn was hurting, too, particularly when Augus insisted on repaying the debt he owed Gwyn, and Gwyn replied that Augus had repaid it when Augus destroyed his heartsong of triumph all those years ago. Gwyn then left the brothers to converse a little more together before Ash returned to the Unseelie Court.

Augus and Gwyn danced around each other for a few days, before Gwyn officially freed him to go to Ash. Ash promoted Augus to Inner Court, showed him his future new lake, and then they went to Gulvi together. Gulvi attacked Augus, knocking him unconscious.

Six months passed. Augus recovered from his time as a prisoner, consuming humans and resting in a lake at the Unseelie Court. He talked with Ash about what he'd gone through, just a little, and tried to mend their broken relationship. Finally, the Seelie Court sent the news that Gwyn's true alignment was revealed, and Gwyn was likely to be executed. Augus demanded that Gulvi and Ash contest it, and take Augus with them to the meeting. Once there, they discovered that Gwyn had escaped. When Augus became enraged and began demonstrating his power, only Ash's agony made Augus stop and leave.

Augus some time searching for Gwyn, despite Ash's pleas that he give up and rest. While searching, Augus was assaulted by other fae, and upon returning, Gulvi attacked him. Augus revealed that he knew about the two girls she'd murdered while on a bodyguard assignment, because Ash had told him. At one point in the search, Ash pushed a contained bit of home-building energy on Augus, to craft his new home. Augus took some time to carefully construct it, then left to return to the search.

Gulvi was the one who finally pointed out that Gwyn would seek out cursed land, and Augus followed up on her advice and *finally* located him: recovering from injuries, starving, scared, and weak. Augus brought him back to the Unseelie Court. Gwyn was made King of the Unseelie and he chose to keep Augus on his Inner Court in the positions of personal advisor, Magistrate, and primary interrogator, as well as having him preside over Common Work and serve as an overseer of the Wild Hunt.

### *The Court of Five Thrones*

At the start of *The Court of Five Thrones*, Augus traveled to the An Fnwy estate and parleyed with Crielle. He murdered her and all the staff residing at the residence whom he could find. He then sorted through Crielle's papers, looking for her plans, during which he uncovered a plot about shapeshifters who would target Gwyn for assassination. The murder spree created a deep rift between him and Gwyn, as Gwyn was devastated by the deaths of Crielle and a number of the servants.

Augus began healing Blighted land. After Gwyn's suggestion that Augus wear a collar to demonstrate that Gwyn controlled him, Augus wore a collar of his own design at Gwyn's Debut. Tigbalan informed Augus that Augus was unwell at the Debut, and that he should consult Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden for aid. Augus could also tell that his heartsong of balance was destabilizing.

Augus went to Fenwrel for advice, partly so he could learn more about meridians. Fenwrel pointed out that he was badly poisoned by his time in the underworlds, and that healing - if possible - would be limited and difficult.

Augus eventually admitted to regret for how he went about killing Crielle and the servants Gwyn cared for, noting that the 'cost was higher than [he] could have predicted. Too high.'

Some time later, Augus began helping with Julvia Dubna Vajat's healing. He also used compulsions to question Dogwill Borough, before telling Gulvi that the traitor general could be executed. After healing one of the Blighted lakes, Augus was attacked by the residents, and fatally injured. He managed to teleport back to the Unseelie Court, where Aleutia the Rat-Maiden and Fenwrel struggled to keep him and Ash alive. He briefly died, but both shifters sacrificed a little of their own lifespans to bring him and Ash back. Augus woke second, clutching Ash's shirt. He spoke briefly with Ash, barely acknowledged Gwyn, and fell unconscious once more. His healing was slow and painful, and he was racked with nightmares. Gwyn let Augus scratch his arm for some pain relief, which Augus appreciated. When Augus was healthier, he renewed the blood-oath not to kill or permanently injure Gwyn during their scenes. Augus also made Gwyn renew his blood-oath to allow Augus to administer aftercare.

Ash returned to spend time with him, and Augus eventually questioned what was going on with he and Gwyn. When Ash downplayed it, Augus could tell he was lying, and when Ash was dismissive of Augus' feelings towards Gwyn, Augus kicked him out.

Augus spent more time with Gwyn, trying to heal their relationship, and returned to Ash as well, trying to figure out how bad off Ash was with his own underworlds poisoning.

Augus followed Gwyn's orders and took Gulvi along with him to heal blighted land, for protection. While healing blighted land, he discovered that he'd given some of his core of stillness to other fae, but that it could also be regained. He realized his healing could be mutually helpful to blighted land, as well as himself.

Gwyn tracked Augus one day and discovered him feeding what was formerly the Raven Prince. When Augus refused to explain what he'd done to make the Raven Prince how he was, Gwyn ejected him from the Unseelie palace, and demanded a full accounting within a month, or else he would demote Augus to underfae and eject both him and Ash from the Unseelie Court. Eventually, Augus explained the whole story: the Nightingale's torture, how Augus stole a memoryeater from the underworlds when the Nightingale released him, Augus' time as the Raven Prince's advisor, how the Raven Prince named Augus as his successor, and how Augus used the memoryeater on the Raven Prince. Gwyn explained to Augus that it wasn't Augus' fault that their forebears - the Raven Prince and the Oak King - were too cowardly to stand up to the great threats of their time, and that both Augus and Gwyn had been manipulated and misused by those they succeeded.

Gwyn declared his trust in Augus to his Inner Court and advisors, without detailing what Augus did to the Raven Prince.

After Ifir's mutiny failed, Gwyn confronted Ash, revealing his treachery. Augus talked to Ash, and detailed the abuse Gwyn faced throughout his life, made Ash confront his own decision to help defeat Augus, and reiterated that Augus cared for Gwyn without excusing Gwyn's misdeeds against himself. Augus explained how Ash's abuse of Gwyn hurt *Augus* as well, and Ash realized how close he was to losing Augus. Augus left him, then, and went to go find Gwyn, who was badly injured after dealing with the mutiny.

Augus successfully rid Gwyn of his heartsong of surrender - nearly dying in the attempt - and Gwyn obtained his heartsong of wildness. Augus was deeply alarmed by how much he'd hurt Gwyn during the process, and sought out Ash for help.

Augus became more distant from his second lake during this time, and realized it was because he was afraid of being taken from it again by someone, as the Nightingale had done. Eventually, Gwyn cordoned off some land for him, containing the lake of a former each uisge, where Augus built his third lake, and Gwyn built a cabin aboveground.

### *Unwound*

About four to five after the events of *The Court of Five Thrones*, Gwyn became more distant from Augus due to Gwyn's anxieties, and Augus finally intervened to try and get Gwyn to talk about it, and mend things. Augus said that he was afraid that Gwyn would remove himself from Augus' life permanently through a sort of suicide, with some misguided belief it was for Augus' own good. During their time together, Augus pretended that Gwyn had already made good on this plan, and noted that Augus thought of following Gwyn's example: 'I will follow [Gwyn], wherever he went. I’m not even sure he’s alive, and I’m not sure that matters anymore.’ Augus noted it wouldn't really work, because the Each Uisge reincarnates, and he would not remember Gwyn in the new reincarnation, whereas common fae do not reincarnate. Augus always worried when Gwyn disappeared that it was for good, particularly given his time with the Nightingale, where no one went looking for or found *him*. This alarmed Gwyn, as he didn't want Augus to be upset or hurt himself, and Gwyn attempted to reassure Augus, though Augus noted that Gwyn's issue wouldn't be solved with a simple process, and this would likely happen again, but it was hard. They spent more time together, and Gwyn crafted twin hagstones for them, which they could use to check if the other was alive.

### *The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire*

When Eran brought Mosk to the Unseelie Court, Augus used his compulsions to question them both, though he was mostly only successful in questioning Eran about Eran's intentions, since Olphix's geas prevented Mosk from explaining things - Mosk only talked about Augus' memories of being tortured by the Nightingale when he tried to respond. Augus also used a compulsion on Eran to stop Eran from physically hurting Mosk while in the Unseelie Court. Augus later interrogated Mosk in the dungeon.

Augus accompanied Gwyn, Eran, Mosk, and Grip to investigate the Aur forest. He used his compulsions to gain Mosk's cooperation, and forced Mosk to guide them all to the Manytrees family home. When Olphix's spell to block teleportation went into place, Augus was unable to teleport through water. He even attempted to use Grip's drool - which is ice that can melt into water - to teleport, but failed. When the ice plague came after the group, Augus, Gwyn, and Grip were separated from Eran and Mosk. Gwyn sent Grip back to the Unseelie Court, and Augus and Gwyn ran into bandits while looking for Eran and Mosk. The pair later reunited with Eran and Mosk at Gille Dubh's loch, where Augus checked on Mosk's health.

In the meantime, Olphix's spell to block access to the human realm meant that Augus began slowly wasting from starvation. His ability to use compulsions and waterweed grew weaker.

At King Oengus Og's tower, Augus reunited with the Gancanagh, warmly. He later interrupted Mosk and the Gancanagh in bed together, and pulled them apart, then dragged Mosk away, explaining that the Gancanagh was dangerous.

When Olphix stole Gwyn's classless abilities, Augus was very alarmed by Gwyn's euphoria. Augus didn't realize just how much Gwyn was in pain all the time, and was concerned the loss of - or even potentially regaining - his powers would kill Gwyn, and he also worried that Gwyn was too uncaring about the whole matter. A rift grew between them, with Augus becoming terrified he was losing Gwyn, and Gwyn upset that Augus was pushing him away. Augus' health only worsened, in part because he insisted on giving his food to Ash. He began using sign language to communicate, to give his voice some rest.

On the coast as they waited for the Mantissa, Augus used his waterhorse abilities to create a dome for protection, which made him collapse, as waterhorses are only supposed to be able to do that once in their lives.

### *The Ice Plague: Book 2 - The Seething Seas*

Traveling on saltwater made Augus' condition worse, and he spent much time in his cabin, sleeping. Gwyn visited him, and they talked through what they'd been arguing about, and tried to mend things. Augus noted that he'd hurt Gwyn by his aversion to the changes Gwyn was going through, and ordered Gwyn to rest with him. Augus also asked for forgiveness, which Gwyn obliged.

Augus also advised Eran on intimacy with Mosk, ensuring Eran was knew what he was doing, and taught Eran about certain things Eran and Mosk could do together. Eran and Augus grew closer, and Eran worried about Augus' health.

The Raven Prince arrived on the Mantissa and attacked Augus, badly injuring him. Despite this, Augus tried to defend him from Gwyn.

Eventually, the Raven Prince explained what he knew about Davix and Olphix to Gwyn, Augus, and the rest. Afterward, Augus and the Raven Prince talked about their relationship. Augus explained that things were over between them, because of the Raven Prince's actions, and for Augus' own well-being.

Eran sought out Augus after breaking up with Mosk, and Augus took him to task for not setting better boundaries and rules with Mosk, and for not expecting Mosk to relapse. Augus listened to Eran's feelings on the situation, and advised him, particularly in that Eran should give Mosk more things to do for Eran.

When the Raven Prince used the adar llwich gwin to fatally injure Ash in order to nix Olphix's life debt, it badly injured Augus as well. Augus and Gwyn later argued about convincing Ondine to take them back to shore. Gwyn worried about starting a war, and Augus pointed out that he wasn't improving while on the sea. When Augus collapsed, Gwyn became terrified. The Raven Prince gave Gwyn his gifts for Augus when the Raven Prince bid everyone farewell: a stone to protect any outsiders from trespassing on Augus' home, and a necklace that would allow Augus to consume energy from fae by drinking their blood, as a substitute for eating humans in the meanwhile. The Raven Prince also advised Gwyn to seek out the Ratcatcher of Hameln, who kept humans in the fae realm.

### *The Ice Plague: Book 3 - The Ice Plague*

Once the party was back onshore, they debated what to do: Gwyn wanted to travel around to look for allies, as it was unsafe to travel to the Unseelie Court. The necklace from the Raven Prince that would allow Augus to feed on blood still wasn't working, but Gwyn still hoped to get it functional, so that they could avoid visiting the Ratcatcher. When the pendant finally started working, Augus reached out to the others, noting that he couldn't keep feeding from Gwyn. He also noted that he wished he'd been able to thank the Raven Prince for the gift.

They continued traveling towards the Ratcatcher and Taronis (whom the Raven Prince advised might serve as an ally against Olphix). In Summervale, Augus asked Mosk if Augus could feed from him. Mosk agreed, and Mosk began dissociating to the point that Augus asked Gwyn to fetch Eran. Augus talked both Eran and Mosk through Mosk's dehydration and subdrop. When Mosk grew upset enough to apologize for ruining his and Eran's night together, Augus used his compulsions, and Eran berated Augus and the others in their party for being so cruel to and dismissive of Mosk.

Mosk later confided in Augus about Eran, who was closed off and struggling with his own mental health problems. Augus said he and the others were keeping an eye on Eran, and Mosk as well.

Augus went with Ash and Gwyn to visit the Ratcatcher, and was able to sate his appetite to some extent. He gave a debt to the Ratcatcher for it, but it's unclear what it was. The trio later reunited with Mosk, Eran, and Julvia in Oswal-Tay.

When they fled from the miskatin and the Blue Annis in Oswal-Tay, Augus attempted to use his compulsions to make the attacking fae leave them alone, to no avail. He later checked on Mosk's meridians after Mosk used his magic to destroy the remaining enemies and kill an innocent family of fae. Augus noted that Mosk's meridians were damaged and his heartsong was unstable.

When Olphix tried to claim his life debt from Ash, Olphix noticed that Augus' necklace was enchanted by the Raven Prince, and tried to take it. Mosk kept it from him. Mosk fought Olphix off, then collapsed. When Mosk woke, Augus superceded Gwyn's authority to continue onto Arkhel and demanded that they stop at a place where Mosk could get warm and rest. After Julvia added her request that they find a place to rest, Gwyn acquiesced. They found an inn to stay at in Lavenna. When Julvia when into a deep sleep, Augus sought out herbs for her. He also encouraged Eran to touch Mosk more.

When the group arrived at the School of the Staff and met with Taronis, Augus asked if 'no Mages [could still] make portals to the human realm?' Taronis stated this was untrue, but when Augus readied to attack him due to Augus' hunger, Taronis clarified that only Olphix still could. After Gwyn spoke in private with Taronis, Augus attempted to comfort him. Back on their journey, Mosk noted that Augus was wearier, and when Mosk asked why Augus hadn't been asking for blood as much, Augus noted that his starvation was far worse than he'd previously realized, and that now that the Each Uisge knew there were humans in the fae realm, he wouldn't shut up about seeking them out and eating them. Augus also noted that although he and Ash could have returned to the Unseelie Court, Augus could not leave Gwyn alone, though Augus did not feel particularly helpful in his weakened state. Gwyn noted that Augus discovered Gwyn had lost his heartsong of wildness during their journey, and that it had changed to sacrifice, which Augus was not happy about.

While in Trowna, Augus tried to get Gwyn and Ash to rest and take things easier. He spent time with Gwyn in private. Ash noted that Augus had been using his knowledge 'of meridians to block off the worst of the hunger' Ash was dealing with, though it wasn't enough. During this time, Ash asked once more what his heartsong was, and since it was gone, Augus finally revealed that it had been abundance, and was Augus' favourite heartsong. Augus stated his regret for what Ash had gone through over the recent decades, and for his part in Ash's suffering. Ash began to grieve, and Augus did his best to comfort Ash. Augus later explained that he never told Ash his heartsong because Augus 'believed that if he knew his heartsong was abundance, he’d – being so generous of spirit, so *abundantly* generous – become paranoid about finding the best and right way to direct that abundance. He’d…seek to make it foundationally Seelie – with his hatred of his own appetite – and likely corrupt it in the process. [Augus] hesitated because [he] believed knowing would make him lose it. [Augus thought] that’s why no one could guess what it was, including himself. Some heartsongs are stronger when they’re secret.’

Two trows Augus had befriended at the Seelie Court shortly arrived and invited Augus to dance, which Gwyn accepted, and they all danced together.

In Cleat, while Gwyn was busy in the tavern and the rest of the group save Augus and Mosk rested, Mosk started up a conversation with Augus, asking if he needed blood. Augus admitted, ‘I don’t know what to do . . . I feel darkness at the corners of my vision.’ He hadn't told Gwyn, and worried about how much feeding on Mosk was affecting Mosk. When Mosk struggled with his magical training, Augus inquired what was wrong, and they talked about detecting lifeforce leading to detecting magic. Augus helped Mosk view magic a bit differently. Mosk was able to detect lifeforce under Augus' teaching, and realized that Augus had 'magic too. It’s just not the kind [he] can *use.’*  When the Raven Prince's phantom appeared from Mosk's pendant, Augus seemed to see or detect it somehow, and was startled.

Mosk insisted that Augus feed on Mosk's blood, but Augus' inner waterhorse took over and attempted to eat Mosk's arm. Gwyn and Ash arrived to take Augus off of Mosk. Augus/the Each Uisge was furious, and attempted to use compulsions on them all, which were too weak to work. Gwyn reminded Augus he couldn't eat fae, and begged Augus to stop, threatening to send him back to the Unseelie Court if he didn't. Augus eventually settled and left Mosk alone. Augus communicated through Gwyn that he wished to apologize to Mosk.

Augus kept away from the party before they left, but Mosk approached him, which Augus wryly accepted. Augus noted he might 'actually have to hunt in the fae realm' and eat other fae. Mosk noted he understood why Augus attacked and that there were mitigating factors. When Augus explained that, due to his hunger and inner waterhorse, he still wanted to kill and eat Mosk, Mosk became scared, and Augus apologized again. After the group arrived in Dharva-in-the-Forest, Gwyn noted, 'Augus doesn’t seem as interested in targeting Julvia, but I can tell he’s still interested in Mosk. If he… If he needs to hunt tonight, I’d prefer he find a stranger.’ He separated Eran and Mosk into their own hut, for safety from Augus (and Ash).

When Mosk was practicing bringing Davix into and out of the waking world, and finally made Davix visible to others, Augus growled and shot waterweed at Davix, but it went straight through Davix's form. 'Augus’ eyes rolled back in his head. He collapsed heavily.' Gwyn ran to his side. 'Augus’ eyes were closed, he was far paler than normal, his olive skin nearly white, his freckles standing out in dark relief.' Gwyn noted that Augus wasn't 'producing much water'. When Mosk offered to heal Augus, Julvia cautioned him against doing so, adding, ‘Healing takes reserves from the body. He has none left to give. I dread to think what you would do by forcing him to wakefulness now. His body has shut down. It is trying to preserve itself.’ Gwyn said that Augus 'won't wake' and that he suspected that Augus 'wasn’t in his right mind, protective but not…aware.’ Ash offered to change into the Glashtyn to carry Augus, as Gwyn needed to be free to fight, they might need Eran's fire, and Julvia was too weak to do it.

When the gelding Julvia bought refused to go near Augus because Augus 'smells too much like death', Gwyn and the others finally decided that Ash had to change into the Glashtyn to carry Augus. After the Glashtyn appeared, he mocked the Each Uisge, then bit Augus in the shoulder. Gwyn and Mosk attacked to push him away. The Glashtyn promised to carry Augus until the Glashtyn could feed, but noted that once he'd fed, he'd attempt to kill the Each Uisge. Gwyn eventually carefully placed Augus on the Glashtyn's back, and ordered the Glashtyn to stick Augus to the Glashtyn's skin.

As Augus' condition worsened, 'Gwyn had taken to bleeding Mosk of blood and painting it onto Augus’ tongue every evening, after the Glashtyn shuddered heavily and let Augus slide off him.'

Around this time, Augus wished he was dead.

Augus' terrible physical condition encouraged Mosk to create a fleshfruit tree, filled 'with blood, encased in sacks of flesh.' Gwyn fed some of the fruits to Augus, which helped him recover.

When Gille Dubh came to Dharnam, he a gift for Augus, and told Gwyn to tell Augus: 'he’s welcome to my loch any time. He was fair-minded and respectful, not at all what the world remembers of him. I know he is no tamed being, by your side, but he was the Raven Prince’s diplomat, and he is your lover, and the world has marked him with greatness. I know he doesn’t prefer it.’

When Augus woke up, he asked for Mosk, and they met, with Gwyn in the room, to talk. Mosk apologized for summoning Davix, and Augus requested he do so again, so that Augus could get to know him better. Augus also checked in on Mosk's mental health, noting that Gille Dubh can cause hurt. When Mosk brought Davix out, Augus joined Gwyn in questioning Davix about Olphix's weaknesses. Augus suggested Mosk bring Davix back some other time so Augus could talk to him more.

During Evale, Augus was able to walk around a bit, and talked more with Mosk about attacking him. He later rushed to Ash's side when the Glashtyn changed back to Ash, and comforted him.

When Mosk wanted to talk about spirits of the land, he also mentioned he still planned to destroy the School of the Staff, and Augus cautioned him that the school might be salvageable without Olphix and Davix around, and that they'd destroy Mosk if he tried. They also talked about Mosk's family, and how they'd hurt Mosk.

Augus later spoke with Mosk, worried about Gwyn's plans for the battle with Olphix. Mosk said, ‘I can tell you that he intends to do whatever he can to keep everyone alive, and that he does *not* want to die. That’s all I can give you.’ Augus took some comfort in the conversation, though Mosk felt uneasy for hiding that although Gwyn wanted to not die, 'he would, for Augus’ sake.'

During the battle with Olphix, Augus saw Gwyn moving to intercept Olphix before getting his light back, and tried to stop Gwyn from doing it, particularly when he realized Gwyn *knew* he'd die doing it. When Gwyn refused to stop moving forward, Augus used his waterweed to keep Gwyn back, insisting, ‘I’d rather a world without any of us, than a world without you.’ Ash interceded, freeing Gwyn and fighting off Augus. Augus was so distraught he cried, ‘You betrayed me once and now you’re doing it again!?’ in between calling out to Gwyn. Then Augus transformed into the Each Uisge, and Ash changed into the Glashtyn to continue blocking him. It was at this time Augus realized the Each Uisge loved Gwyn, too. The waterhorses began fighting. The forest around them became filled with their power. When Gwyn was struck by the light and died, the Each Uisge screamed, 'the sound shaking the ground all around them, turning the world to swamp and torrential rain and an earthquake more violent than anything Olphix had ever made.'

Eventually, the Glashtyn left the fight, and the Each Uisge changed back into Augus, who proceeding to shout and kick at Gwyn's corpse. Ash pulled him away, reminding him that Gwyn was King and might still come back, and that he and Augus needed to feed. Augus was still distraught, but turned to one of the newly formed pools of water and teleported away.

After a feeding spree, and two years after the battle with Olphix, Augus kept apart from other fae, even Ash, shutting off Ash's access to Augus' home. Augus refused to visit Gwyn's body or the Unseelie Court for a time, and refused Gulvi's and Fenwrel's request to visit Gwyn's body. His hunger was far stronger, and he ate more often. Two years after the battle with Olphix, he visited Gwyn's unconscious body at the Court, and ended up yelling at him, simultaneously mad at him and thinking about how much pain Gwyn likely was in and would likely be in for years, with no one able to do much of anything. Fenwrel had to drag Augus away. They talked about Augus' pain and frustration.

Six months later, Augus went back to his old work as a dominant. After seeing one client, he left his home and traveled for a year. He was powerful and could travel again easily, and dealt with the occasional assassination attempts, but was more often welcomed as Gwyn's consort and a savior of the world, and people tried to give him many gifts, most of which he didn't accept, save for some accessories.

In the fourth year since the battle with Olphix, Augus went to see Gwyn at the Court, and Gwyn apologized to him many times, only to discover that he was vulnerable to Augus' compulsions once again. Augus castigated him several times, told Gwyn Augus hated him and that Gwyn was ugly, and ultimately left Gwyn in tears.

Gwyn avoided Augus and his fury at Gwyn's sacrifice. Eventually, Gwyn moved back to his cabin and came to visit Augus, asking to be one of his clients. When Augus accidentally broke his arm, they talked more about their relationship and acknowledged that things needed to change between them. Augus later visited Gwyn at his cabin, and they discussed Augus' conditions for their relationship to continue: Gwyn would no longer be King in any meaningful capacity, and although there were caveats, should Gwyn be required to fight in wars or go on another epic quest, they were done; Gwyn would no longer permanently reside at the Unseelie Court, and would either live in his cabin or with Augus, and they would go traveling together for a time; and lastly, Gwyn was to change his heartsong, and Augus would no longer help him with that process. Gwyn noted that his heartsong was already gone, and although he had not formed a new one, he would respect Augus' wishes and not include him in the process, and that in other ways he was already partially meeting Augus' conditions, and otherwise willing to learn a new way of living if Augus would show him how.

Gwyn and Augus began spending time together again, and Augus learned more of Gwyn's new limitations. They also traveled a little.

Gwyn announced his retirement in Erna, and was well-met. He and Augus discussed it, and when Gwyn said suggested he might find a new vocation, Augus compelled him to say whether or not he actually wanted to, to which Gwyn admitted he didn't want a new vocation. Gwyn threw a piece of bread at Augus for the compulsion, which was seemingly part of their new arrangement when Augus used compulsions.

Augus and Gwyn visited Eran in the Aur forest five years after Olphix's death. After visiting Eran, Gwyn admitted to Augus that he expected Augus to punish him, because he blamed himself for his sacrifice against Olphix ever since making the promise with the Nain Rouge. Augus told him it was a gift, and Augus couldn't think of other ways to defeat Olphix.

Ash and Augus were still working on rebuilding their relationship, though Ash noted that their acknowledgment that the Glashtyn and the Each Uisge *wanted* to kill each other, and yet Ash and Augus refused to actively do so now that the battle with Olphix was over, while Ash was embracing his Glashtyn side, changed things.

In the ninth year after the battle with Olphix, Augus and Gwyn visited Eran and Mosk in the Aur forest, and told them about news in the world. Mosk invited them to stay at the treehouse with Mosk and Eran sometimes, and Augus and Gwyn were very pleased by the idea.

Gwyn finally talked to Augus about his trauma with being injured regularly, due in large part to Augus feeding on him during their quest to deal with the ice plague and Olphix, though Gwyn was reluctant/in denial about it being trauma, which Augus pushed back against, noting that it *was* traumatic. They talked more about their relationship, and reinforced what they were looking forward to and wanted, and Augus reassured Gwyn that Augus' heart belonged to him. Over time, Augus noted that loved the life they had together.

## Species: Each Uisge

*See: Each Uisge*

As a each uisge, Augus is described as appearing as a large, powerful black horse (on Tumblr, Not-Poignant has compared it to a Friesian) with waterweed in his healthy mane and tail. 'Where the Glashtyn had been small, the Each Uisge was a huge, stately waterhorse that radiated malice.' In his true-form, Augus talks in a 'true voice', which is always shown in italics. Augus in true-form is incapable of charm, and is very direct and bloodthirsty.

Augus must eat humans on a semi-regular basis, or he becomes sick (he will lose physical condition, his hair will be less damp and lustrous than normal). He hunts in human-form and lures humans back to his lake with a combination of conversation, charm, and compulsion. Once at his lake, he changes into true-form and drags them underwater before drowning them, tearing them apart, and eating them whole (aside from the liver, which he leaves fully intact). He takes about five to seven days to fully and comfortably digest his food, though he can force himself above his lake sooner if he must. Often after eating, Augus is shown as dazed and a bit wilder than normal*.*

There is only ever one each uisge that exists in the world at a time. As a result, each uisge are infertile, and reincarnate. Augus is considered the most powerful each uisge to have ever lived. He is also the only each uisge to have been King, or on an Inner Court of any King. Most each uisge are underfae.

When Augus is particularly hungry or his fight instincts are activated while he's in human-form, his teeth can lengthen into fangs. Augus can also use poison when he bites things.

Liver is deathly poisonous to him*.*

## Special Abilities

### Fae Abilities

**Compulsion:** Augus is known to have the strongest compulsions of any fae (though Fenwrel can withstand them, and turn them back on him). While intended for use in hunting his natural prey (humans), it is effective on many of the fae he encounters. Other waterhorses (such as Ash) or those who have trained to resist (Gwyn) are immune to the effects. While the compulsions of other fae generally need to be very specific to obtain the desired effect, Augus's power is so strong that the mere suggestion of what he wants is enough to force the victim into doing or saying exactly what he needs them to.

**Dra'ocht:** Augus noted that his dra'ocht was 'charming when he wanted it to be, predatory at other times. It could evoke fear or seduction, or both, as the situation required.'

**Waterweed:** Augus has the ability to grow and shoot waterweed from his wrists, which he often uses to incapacitate enemies or as bondage. The amount of waterweed along with the strength of it depends on his class. Currently, as an Inner Court fae, his waterweed is strong enough to even keep Gwyn immobilized if necessary.

**Growth:** An innate plant-growing ability that seems common to waterhorses. Augus regularly used this ability in his home lake to encourage the many plants to thrive.

**Water Manipulation:** Augus can sense the presence of water sources, including groundwater, within his vicinity. and manipulate them.

**Invisibility:** Tigbalan's exchange of this power, which Gwyn transferred to Augus, allows Augus to turn invisible. It is described as complete invisibility, not only preventing Augus from being seen, but also from being heard, scented, or otherwise sensed unless he wills it. While the power initially caused discomfort and pain after prolonged use, Augus adjusted more fully to it during *The Court of Five Thrones* and now can use it with relative ease.

### Magical Propensity

Augus notably has no magical aptitude, a trait that has been commented on by many fae gifted in magic. Mosk described Augus as a 'vacuum' compared to the various magical glows he could see from the rest of their party. He has a kind of nature magic, but can't use it. The Raven Prince noted his power is similar to a genius loci, in that he is connected to his lakes in the same way genius loci are connected to their landscapes.

### Skills

**Herbalism/Wortcunning:** Though he has not received professional training, Augus is skilled with herbal medicine. He is self-taught and made use of many of the plants in and around his home lake to create medicines, soaps, and other products which he would both sell and keep for personal use. He takes great pride in his propensity for wortcunning. He is very knowledgeable on the uses of different plants, especially in regards to their effects on freshwater fae.

**Clothing Design and Creation:** Augus taught himself how to design and create clothes.

**Singing:** Gwyn thinks Augus has a lovely singing voice, though Augus keeps that knowledge private.

**Fiddle:** He knew how to play fiddle somewhat before become part of the Raven Prince's Court, and then it became part of his education as a courtier.

## Relationships

### Albion

Augus despises Albion, particularly for what Albion did to Gwyn, and nearly the Unseelie Court, and has little to no respect for him. Albion disagreed with sparing Augus' life after Augus' defeat, and has insulted him on multiple occasions, so it's likely Albion doesn't much care for Augus, either.

### Aleutia the Rat-Maiden

Aleutia suggested Augus apprentice as a healer. Augus appears to respect her to some extent, and, although he takes issue with some of her decisions on herbs, he is deferential to her placement as Julvia's healer. They discuss herbs, which pleases them both. Aleutia sacrificed five years of her lifespan to heal Augus when he temporarily died. Fenwrel pointed out that not only is Aleutia seeing through her duties in caring for Augus' health, but she is also simply concerned for his welfare. Augus believes he has Aleutia's grudging respect at best, but no more.

### Ash Glashtyn

Augus raised Ash as a reluctant pseudo-parent, though they consider themselves brothers. They have a very close, complicated relationship. They currently share a Soulbond, whereupon if one of them is badly injured or killed, the other will experience it as well. The link also allows them to keep each other alive during *The Ice Plague*.

### Autumn's End

For a time, Autumn's End didn't seem to like Augus very much, particularly after he used compulsions on her. Since Augus reconciled with Gwyn, he's been careful around her and listened to her instructions on caring for Gwyn.

### Dogwill Borough

Augus congratulated Dogwill for his daring in betraying the Unseelie Court to the Seelie Court, but didn't seem to think of much of him. Dogwill was so terrified of Augus after the interrogation that even Augus coming near him made Dogwill faint.

### Eran Iliakambar

Eran started out treating Augus with some hostility, but as they got to know each other, they became quite close. They both watched over the other's health. Augus in turn gave Eran advice on how to be a good and responsible dominant towards Mosk, and he was adept at handling and channeling Eran's anger and rage. Augus noted on the Mantissa that he liked Eran, and enjoyed his company, and found the way Eran views the world refreshing.

### Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden

Fenwrel reminded Augus of Fluri, in her grace. He even considered that 'in another lifetime . . . he would have liked her as a client.' Fenwrel noted to Augus that she was aware of the energy between them, but both acknowledged that they have no interest in pursuing it beyond platonic friendship and that of a healer and patient. Although Augus has attempted to intimidate her, she has not fallen for it, even when she was underfae while he was Inner Court, and later as Court. Fenwrel compared Augus to Suvidh, in that they both went through something greatly traumatic and have worked hard to remove it. She is also encouraging of Augus' recovery, and wishes to meet who he was before he was poisoned. The two are friends, and Fenwrel often advises him, and they've both admitted to liking each other. Fenwrel also gave up 50 years of her lifespan to heal Augus when he temporarily died.

### Fluri the Mouse-Maiden

Fluri taught Augus how to use pressure points and understand meridians. Fluri was very fond of Augus, and believed he was poisoned, due to his meridians being blocked, rather than his being simply evil, and she was one of the few to publicly advocate for him, even after he demoted her and her family to Underfae. She spoke of him with obvious affection. Fluri knew that Augus had done terrible things, and had nightmares. Augus seems to think warmly of her.

### The Gancanagh

Augus and the Gancanagh have unknown past history, but the two are easily intimate with each other, and seem to have a warm relationship, though Augus doesn't underestimate the Gancanagh. The Gancanagh respects and appreciates Augus. He also noted that Augus 'kisses like sin.'

### Gille Dubh

Augus noted he has 'much affection for Gille Dubh', or at least the tales Augus has heard about him. Gille Dubh gave an invitation to Augus to come back to Gille Dubh's loch in the future.

### Grip

Augus finds Grip disgusting and inelegant, but appreciates that Gwyn loves him, and the good that Grip does for Gwyn's well-being. He put his foot down on Grip being in their bed (though his level of success is unclear).

### Gulvi Dubna Vajat

Gulvi wanted to kill Augus for destroying her home and killing most of her family, but staid her hand for Ash's sake. The two became more cordial as they conversed more often when Augus was released to the Unseelie Court. Gulvi advised him on his relationship issues with Gwyn. The two even became somewhat friendly, with Gulvi starting to care for him as she worked as his bodyguard while he healed Blighted land.

### Gwyn ap Nudd

Gwyn and Augus' relationship truly began when Gwyn sought out Augus' help to destroy Gwyn's heartsong of triumph, for which Gwyn is grateful, and which gave Augus deep insight in Gwyn's psyche. They later became enemies when Augus became King of the Unseelie and aligned with the Nightingale, and when Gwyn successfully defeated and captured Augus. During Augus' imprisonment at the Seelie Court, their relationship deepened, and turned into love. After Gwyn became King of the Unseelie, he made Augus his Advisor, to 'preside over the Common Work, including all matters relating to underfae' as well as 'dual overseer of the Wild Hunt, as well as Magistrate, and primary interrogator', as well as Gwyn's consort. They also keep each other humble: Gwyn has made a point to emphasize that he was a far better King - on both alignments - than Augus, whether to Augus' face or to others, while Augus often points out that there are plenty of benefits to being Unseelie that Gwyn can find comfort in and enjoy, equally or more so than being Seelie, and that Gwyn is much like his father, with no An Fnwy curse to excuse his predilections.

### Julvia Dubna Vajat

Augus is hesitant around Julvia, clearly feeling some guilt over nearly killing her. Julvia is curious about him, and seemingly even fond of him, over time.

### Kabiri

Augus has 'never met Kabiri before; was no match for him, but he wouldn't mind saying a thing or two about what he'd done to Gwyn's shoulder.'

### Matthias

Augus noted that his relationship with Matthias made him realize that 'humans are creatures for consumption, nothing more. Unlike Ash who persists in the belief that they can be friends and food, [he] learned – the hardest way . . . – humans are only food, and fae may be friends.’ He noted the realization was terrible.

### Mikkel

Mikkel was terrified of Augus, particularly after Augus trapped him against a wall and repeatedly threatened him. Augus was angry that Mikkel's visits with Gwyn left Gwyn emotionally shattered, at least without Augus' notice. Mikkel seemed to warm up to Augus after Augus offered suggestions for Mikkel to use for what Mikkel was up to when he was away from the Seelie Court.

### Mosk Manytrees

Mosk hated and feared Augus for his use of compulsions to interrogate Mosk as well as Augus' personality, and Augus often found Mosk too much of a mess for Augus to deal with - on top of Gwyn - but has often tried to make sure that Mosk is safe. They have slowly warmed up to each other a little, and when Mosk confided in Augus about his issues with Eran, Augus said that the others are watching Eran, as well. Mosk believed that Augus was only friendly because he wanted Mosk's blood, and Mosk equated the blood-taking to being tortured by Olphix and Davix. Augus has also helped Eran and Mosk with their relationship, so that Eran can better avoid hurting Mosk. Both Mosk and Augus are now more favorable towards each other on a physically intimate level.

### King Oengus Og

Although Oengus seemed to think Augus was a better sexual partner than Ash - implying that he and Augus, and/or perhaps Ash and Oengus, have possibly slept together before, or that Oengus at least respected Augus' professional abilities as a dominant - Oengus called Augus Gwyn's 'base, cruel lover'. He was also rather dismissive of Augus.

### The Nightingale

Fenwrel believes that, in regard to Augus, the Nightingale 'was covetous and *jealous*, since he has always been a collector of fine things - all the more to *break* them'. The Raven Prince gives Augus to the Nightingale, potentially to delay the Nightingale's plans, and the Nightingale keeps and tortures Augus for some time. Among his other tortures and degradations, the Nightingale calls Augus 'pony'. Augus promises to become King of the Unseelie Court in exchange for his freedom. The Nightingale keeps Augus for a year, and his torture pollutes Augus' body, gives him PTSD, and 150 years afterward, leads to Augus using a memoryeater on the Raven Prince, and creating the Blight.

### The Raven Prince

The Raven Prince genuinely loves Augus, and is heartbroken that they'll never be together again, though he knows it is his own fault. Augus loves the Raven Prince, of old and still, but Augus also wants nothing to do with him, for his own sake. Augus later noted, ‘I said everything I had to say to him. I…got my closure. I pity him sometimes, and I don’t even think he’d begrudge me of it after everything.’

### Taronis

Augus hates him, and almost tried to attack him to obtain access to the human realm.

### Terho the Mouse-Lad

Augus used compulsions to force Terho to explain how Terho freed the Nightingale. Augus was enraged and attempted to enter the tower where Terho kept shelter, but was unable to do so. Augus later captured and hurt Terho, but Gwyn freed him. Terho urged Gwyn to 'do whatever he could to make sure Augus was rendered unable to hurt anyone, ever again.'

### Prince Vane

Vane seemingly viewed Augus as an obstacle to getting closer to Gwyn, but masked it by treating Augus as a rival, or at least someone holding Gwyn's leash in some way. Even Augus was fooled slightly by Vane's tricks, though he knew that Vane wanted *something* beyond sex, and supported Gwyn potentially taking advantage of Vane's advances. Augus also proposed caution, but even thought that Vane would be a good idea for someone whom Gwyn could reach out to as a friend.

## Quotations

* 'Family was supposed to be family. Ash had taught him that.'
* 'You don't get absolution because it's not a *sin* to be yourself, Gwyn.'
* 'You may *not*, under *any* circumstances, kill me with a *letter opener*, you uncouth creature.'
* 'I’ve said it to Ash, and I will say it to you; you are who you are, Gwyn. Whether you can accept it or not, that is who you are meant to be, and you can fight it, or you can learn to know it and understand it. Do you think my brother was happy when he learned that he was supposed to eat flesh? Let alone humans, whom he still has a fondness for? We are all confronted by things in ourselves that we do not like or wish to know. . . . What you are may terrify you, but it doesn’t scare me, Gwyn ap Nudd.'
* Ash: 'It’s my life, I get to do what I want with it. I want to use it to make you more likely to live. That’s a big deal to me, you know, you being alive.'
* About Gwyn: 'Oh please,’ Augus snarled. ‘Give me some credit. Like I’ve ever been some victim. By the gods, Ash. I was out of the cell and living in my own rooms before the Display. I was upgraded to Capital status shortly after that. I’ve been given a lake. You should be asking me what I’ve been taking from him. . . . You should ask me what he has left to give'.
* To Gwyn: 'Sweetness, I don’t want to leave you here.'
* Fenwrel to Augus: 'But you are a master of avoidance, are you not? I don’t think it’s a coincidence that you ended up in a vocation where you felt the need to show other people’s avoidance to them, to shove the truth of their past and their pains in their faces . . . We all role model what we need the most.'
* About Gwyn: 'I have spent my entire life waiting for someone other than you to see in me something that I could not see in myself. And I see something in him that others do not see. And that is the only truth I know, when it comes to him. Should I judge him based on his betrayals, when I know him to be as Unseelie as any one of us? Should I look at him superficially, judge him for being a captor, when it was obvious that he was more a captive than I ever was? You don’t know him as I do, Ash. He is complex. A lost boy and a fierce man and a beast and an idiot. If you could just try to understand that he is not he is not like the man of shadows at all, I would be grateful.'
* About Gwyn: 'I’m glad you didn’t ask me to choose between the two of you today, Ash. Because you wouldn’t have liked the answer.'
* Fenwrel: 'Now I think you are suffering. You are no longer proud of yourself. The only thing you have ever admitted any measure of pride towards – around me – is your ability to not eat and drink for a long time while captive. Are you not proud of becoming King when no one has figured out how? No. And are you not proud of the common work you are doing? The assistance you offer to Gwyn and the others when you are struggling? No.'
* To Gwyn: ‘Fenwrel has said I should share this with you. Do you know, I have this…concern, that I might wake up one morning in this cursed place, or even in my own home, and I will go to find you, to wish you a good morning, and you will be gone. Vanished. Not to one of your usual jaunts, not travelling or hunting or at war. Just…gone. . . . That you would become certain of a course of action – which you are prone to – and like the blasted fool you are, you’d find a way to disappear from my life forever. And you would think you were doing me a service.’
* To Gwyn: ‘Of the two of us, you’re the one who keeps seeking it. Eventually you will find the quarry you hunt, Gwyn. And even if you don’t – how will I know? I tell myself when you vanish that you are just hunting, and that works for a week. Or two weeks. Then, I start to think- I start to think all sorts of things. I’m…biased, you see. I know what it’s like to have no one look for you, to not be found.’
* To Augus during a nightmare, from a distance: ‘Augus,’ Gwyn said, ‘it’s okay. I swear it. You’re not there anymore. There’s light. So much light. It’s afternoon, your lake is waiting for you, and no one here wants to hurt you.’
* To the Raven Prince: 'What saddens me,’ Augus said with slow deliberation, ‘is that I can see that you suffer, and I can see how easily I could heal it for you. I’m not blind to it. I have an inkling of what it will be, for you, for me to do this to you. . . . I am done with you . . . Not because of Gwyn’s love, not because of my brother telling me I deserved better than your Court running me into the ground, not because I found better things for myself, but because of you. I am done with you, because of *you*.'
* 'I know what it is to grieve a happy, contented life'
* ‘Mosk,’ Augus said, levelling an unimpressed look at him. ‘We *all* hate Taronis. You’re not special because you chose to be the one to mouth off at him.’
* To Mosk about Gwyn: ‘I can’t leave him behind,’ Augus said, his voice so soft now . . . ‘I can’t let him be alone during this, yet I can barely be there for him, so I feel all I do is watch him suffer. He has been brave for me. For all of us. We have faced so much together in the short time that we’ve been lovers, but it is as though this journey seeks to break every one of us.’
* To Gwyn: ‘You’ll think better, on a rested mind,’ Augus said. ‘They wanted to show you their kingdom, Gwyn, you can’t disrespect them by refusing to sleep on a bed they’ve created just for you.’
* 'I miss the time before. Even if the Seelie Court did chafe so. There was a quietness in those days. I swear, once all of this is over, I am going to make that quietness happen once more, and I will kill whomever I need to, to make that happen.’
* ‘Hey, Augus?’ Ash said, his voice breaking. ‘What’s my heartsong?’ [Augus]: ‘Well. It used to be abundance, but I don’t know what it is anymore.’ Ash stilled, then his eyes widened slowly. A single tear spilled down the side of one cheek, and for a moment he couldn’t seem to move at all, and then he took a huge breath and turned to face Augus. ‘Really?’ he said, his voice wet. ‘Yes,’ Augus said, smiling sadly. ‘You made it so beautiful, Ash. It was my favourite heartsong.’ ‘Abundance,’ Ash whispered. . . . ‘You were always too much of everything, weren’t you?’ Augus said, eyes bright. ‘You spread everything in abundance. And what a joy that was for the world around you, with you spilling your love of life everywhere.’ ‘And now it’s gone,’ Ash said, desolate. ‘I regret, so much, what the last few decades have done to you. I regret, so much, my role in that.’
* To Eran, about Augus on their journey: ‘I knew he’d hate it,’ Gwyn said. ‘I knew he’d force himself on this journey while starving, and he’d mask his agony, and do everything he has done – become protective and exhausted and weak. He has done it with far more grace than I could ever have expected, and he is already the most graceful creature I have ever met. But I knew, Eran. I gave him options to turn back, I knew he’d never take them.’
* To Mosk: ‘Everything is alive, in its own way,’ Augus said. ‘Having been to the underworlds – and I suppose you’ve been there too, in a fashion – I know what it’s like to be in a landscape that is truly, truly *dead.’*
* To Gwyn, Ash, and Mosk: *‘How dare you stop me? When I starve? How* dare *you?’*
* To Mosk and Gwyn about Augus: ‘Why on earth are you encouraging him to do anything so energetic when he’s *starving?’* Davix crowed, then burst into laughter. ‘Don’t you even *care?’*
* To Gwyn, thinking about their future and the possibilities: 'Isn’t that what it means, to be made of impossible things, Anam Cara?’
* To Fenwrel, about Gwyn: ‘I don’t want him anymore . . . I don’t want him anymore. I’m tired. I’m tired of feeling this way.’
* To Fenwrel, about Gwyn: ‘There’s no Court for me here without him in it.'
* 'No matter how Augus castigated him, Gwyn probably hated himself so much that it wouldn’t matter. Even that was irritating.'
* To Gwyn: ‘You have no idea the vulgar bitterness I feel at the knowledge that I pushed you into the role of Unseelie King when all I want is for you to be anything but. You begged me then, I realise why now. I didn’t understand at the time.’
* To Gwyn: ‘I’m tired of you sacrificing yourself for others. Whether it’s the damned Court, or the whole world, and even now, with this, with *me*. I know you suffered for those years you were growing into a- into a *person* again. I know you suffered in the months before the battle. You’re stoic and strong, yes, but this benevolence serves only to hide the pain you went through from yourself. You’ll sit there and I’m sure withstand my compulsions and me breaking your arm and a great deal more and tell yourself that you still want me.’
* To Gwyn: 'I feel as though we may have found our way to these stiller waters in a few thousand years, maybe, if we were lucky, but instead we get to have this now. It’s not luck or good fortune, because all that led up to it was *monstrous,* but still, I feel fortunate.’
* 'The times he’d woken from nightmares of starving, only to realise he was in a nightmare of starving, and hear Gwyn’s suppressed sobs by his side, and be too weak to do much more than lay there and curse Olphix and Davix and their entire damned universe.'
* 'This was their present, their future, and Augus loved this life.'

## Trivia

* As a predatory waterhorse, Augus is instinctively calmed when a hand is placed at the back of his head, a trait he shares with Ash. A human placing their hand there will immediately stop a hunt and he will release them. Those are the only humans who have ever survived him.
* Augus' native language is Welsh.
* Augus and Gwyn are both left-handed.
* Augus does not like sweets of any kind, including fruits, preferring to eat greens that other fae find bitter and distasteful. His diet is entirely vegan when he is not hunting humans.
* When Augus was 10 years old, he liked Ash's long hair.
* Fenwrel was the first person to successfully compel him.
* Augus *really* likes the sight of Gwyn in actual combat on the battlefield.
* Augus likes to eat nasturtiums, but craved dandelion flowers while he was sick.
* Ash stated that Augus joined the Raven Prince's Court around 200 years prior to the story present in *The Court of Five Thrones*. Gwyn noted that the Nightingale captured Augus 150 years prior to taking the Kingship from the Raven Prince.
* At the beginning of *Deeper into the Woods*, Augus noted that he was nearly 2,000 years old.
* The plant of Augus' birth is hawthorn.
* After Gwyn lost his resistance to compulsions and grew stronger, Augus compelled Gwyn 3-4 times a week, but Gwyn never really liked it. 'He was never exactly cruel about it, but compulsions weren’t something many people would willingly enjoy or submit to.'

## Folklore/Mythology

'The each-uisge (Scottish Gaelic: [ɛxˈɯʃkʲə], literally "water horse") is a water spirit in Scottish folklore, known as the each-uisce (anglicized as *aughisky* or *ech-ushkya*) in Ireland and cabyll-ushtey on the Isle of Man. It usually takes the form of a horse, and is similar to the kelpie[,] but far more vicious.'

Found 'in the Scottish Highlands, [the each-uisge] has been described as "perhaps the fiercest and most dangerous of all the water-horses" by the folklorist Katharine Briggs. Often mistaken for the kelpie (which inhabits streams and rivers), the each-uisge lives in the sea, sea lochs, and fresh water lochs. The each-uisge is a shape-shifter, disguising itself as a fine horse, pony, a handsome man or an enormous bird such as a boobrie. If, while in horse form, a man mounts it, he is only safe as long as the each-uisge is ridden in the interior of land. However, the merest glimpse or smell of water means the beginning of the end for the rider, for the each-uisge's skin becomes adhesive and the creature immediately goes to the deepest part of the loch with its victim. After the victim has drowned, the each-uisge tears him apart and devours the entire body except for the liver, which floats to the surface.

In its human form it is said to appear as a handsome man, and can be recognised as a mythological creature only by the water weeds or profuse sand and mud in its hair. Because of this, people in the Highlands were often wary of lone animals and strangers by the water's edge, near where the each-uisge was reputed to live.

. . . Along with its human victims, cattle and sheep were also often prey to the each-uisge, and it could be lured out of the water by the smell of roasted meat.

. . . The each-uisge also has a particular desire for human women. Campbell states that "any woman upon whom it set its mark was certain at last to become its victim." A young woman herding cattle encountered a water horse in the form of a handsome young man who laid his head in her lap and fell asleep. When he stretched himself she discovered that he had horse's hooves and quietly made her escape (in variations of the tale she finds the presence of water weeds or sand in his hair). In another account a water horse in human shape came to a woman's house where she was alone and attempted to court her, but all he got for his unwanted advances was boiling water hurled between his legs. He ran from the house roaring in pain. In a third tale a father and his three sons conspired to kill a water horse that came to the house to see the daughter. When they grabbed the young man he reverted to his equine form and would have carried them into the loch, but in the struggle they managed to slay him with their dirks. Despite its amorous tendencies, however, the each-uisge is just as likely to simply devour women in the same manner as its male victims.

The aughisky or Irish water horse is similar in many respects to the Scottish version. It sometimes comes out of the water to gallop on land and, despite the danger, if the aughisky can be caught and tamed[,] then it will make the finest of steeds provided it is not allowed to glimpse the ocean.

The cabyll-ushtey (or cabbyl-ushtey), the Manx water horse, is just as ravenous as the each-uisge[,] though there are not as many tales told about it. One of them recounts how a cabbyl-ushtey emerged from the Awin Dhoo (Black River) and devoured a farmer's cow, then later it took his teenaged daughter.'
