## Appearances

### Pre-Series

Aurelio and Auristela were born in San Fuego. As their mother had no time to care for them, they were cared for by rotating priests and their father before his death. Before the series, Aurelio and Teo once had a wonderful friendship and were once best friends. However, the friendship ended when Aurelio had to go to the Academy with his sister and Ocelo and was told that he could not mingle with Teo, because Teo is a Jade. This led to Teo resenting Aurelio as he believed that Aurelio's status as a Gold led to the deterioration, although Aurelio still kept thinking of Teo afterwards.

### Main Series

Aurelio appears with his sister and Marino to extinguish a fire that was burning in one of Quetzlan's buildings where, coincidentally, Teo was as well. He appears to be surprised when he learns of Teo becoming one of the Trials competitors, often telling Teo that being in the trials is dangerous. He then periodically offers advice to Teo about the ways he can handle the trials and deal with exercising, though the latter often snubs him for having pity or defending him.

During the El Valle trial, he protects Teo from the flames that corralled the mother alebrije. Then during the Bloodless Battle at Opal Oasis, he is partnered with Teo and the two of them emerge victorious as they are the only team that worked together. Following the trial, the two leave the boat to enjoy some candy and share a near-intimate moment with each other before getting caught by Luna and Auristela. Then, during the Laberinto trial, he once again protects Teo when Auristela tries to attack him using the Sol Stone replica, which results in it getting shattered on his golden arm bands. He is then seen at the last dinner before the fifth trial, and when Teo tries to explain the sabotaging of the trials, Lumbre shuts him down. Aurelio tries to act only to be scolded by Lumbre. Later on, he finds Teo by the Sol Stone and apologizes for his earlier treatment towards Teo years ago. He then explains his relationship with his twin sister, Auristela, and some elements of his past. During the fifth trial at Los Restos, he tries to get his sister to come, only to see her lose control and attack the other competitors.

When he learns that Auristela is the sacrifice offering for Sol, he blames Teo and leaves only returning to witness the sacrifice. Teo, however, refuses to sacrifice her, and when the Obsidians return, they take many of the semidioses with them. Aurelio tries to help Auristela but she burns him forcing him to let go. He then tries to get to her only to be stopped by Teo. In the aftermath, Aurelio and Teo, with Niya in tow, decide to retrieve the Sol Stone from Los Restos with the help of the dioses, including Lumbre. The three remaining semidioses then plan on how to handle the apocalypse.

### Physical Appearance

Aurelio inherits much of his traits from his mother Lumbre. He appears as a tall, handsome 17-year-old boy who ties his shoulder-length black hair back in a stylized warrior knot, which Teo jokingly calls a man bun. He also appears to be quite muscular and athletic. His skin is very warm as result of inheriting his mother's fire abilities. He also wears flint-tipped gloves that allows him to conjure up flames. Underneath his golden arm bands, it is discovered that his arms are covered with scara shaped like handprints, particularly from his own mother from all the times of training to be fireproof.

### Personality

At first glance, Aurelio appears to be stoic and detached even somewhat robotic, according to Niya. However, it turns out that his seriousness is a mask that covers his more dynamic personality. Unlike his sister and mother, he is much kinder and more open to others as seen when he brings enough candy for everyone to share with after the fourth trial. In terms of social life, he appears to be socially lacking as he does not grasp puns and jokes. He also does not understand movie references as he has never watched movies before.

He follows his own moral compass, but sometimes chooses to ignore it as seen when he leaves the boat with Teo despite the potential consequences. He tries his best to be helpful and kind (though not without soms trading) to Teo, depite the son of Quetzal's disdain and resentment towards him, and appears to have soms romantic feelings for the him. These types of feelings are exhibited during Teo and Aurelio’s time throughout the trials, within Sol City, and in the aftermath of the Obsidians’ freedom.

He feels closest to Auristela as he believes that she can understand him more personally. He expresses great sorrow and anger as nearly loses her when she is about to be sacrificed by Teo and when she forces him to let go when she and many other semidioses are taken by the Obsidians. As he argues with his mother about his plan to go after the Obsidians and free the semidioses, he does not back down when Lumbre constantly disagrees with him.

### Abilities

Like his sister, his powers and abilities are fire-based. While Auristela conjures flames, Aurelio has the ability to manipulate them. With his hands, he can amplify or extinguish flames. However, it appears that his fire burn resistance is less than that of Auristela's as he continues to feel pain and will injure from fire after certain short periods of time.
