Aurelian

Aurelian is a recurring character in the Yaalheim series. He is a knight and the leader of The Knights Invictus. He is an exceedingly powerful neutromancer, being of equal power to Vermithrax. He is the chosen champion of the nation of The Kingdom of Rozova. He is of an unknown age at the start of the books, appearing first in chapter III.

Appearance
Aurelian's facial appearance has only ever been seen briefly in the story, and is described as having sharp, pointed features, as well as equally dark brown hair and eyes. He stands at an intimidating 6 foot 5, and is suspected to be incredibly muscular, as his armour is an estimated 80 pounds. He wears full body, properly articulated plate armour, coloured an absolute black. The armour is the height of Rozovan technology, and no chain-mail is worn underneath, instead choosing black scale-mail in the few unprotected areas, such as the neck and joints. The gauntlets are massive and clawed, with many interlocking plates allowing the movement of the wrists. The entirety of the armour is incredibly efficient, and the plating pointed to deflect blows. The only non-necessary piece of the armour is the ornamentation of the helm, which is visored, with a very small viewing slit, and large, dragon-like wing protruding from the sides of the helmet.

Weapons and Abilities
Aurelian The Dragonheart, as he is known, is described as being one of the ten most powerful fighters in all of Yaalheim. As he is one of the greater of the 9 champions, he is easily a match for mages like Vermithrax, Galahad, or Cromwell. He is considered the greatest Wellbinder, a gravitational mage, in the entirety of the series. His catalyst is the weapon known as "Truth's End", the traditional weapon of the Knights Invictus. He carries a gigantic black halberd, at 9 feet in length. He fights with the halberd against all non-mages, using the neutromancy only against mages and equally powerful combatants. He is said to be capable of performing the incredibly dangerous technique of duel-wielding singularities.

Personality
Aurelian is a man of simple taste, that taste being the pursuit for absolute justice. He is primarily reserved, though in the face of those he deems to be guilty of evil actions, he becomes extremely agressive, and will stop at nothing to destroy his target. He cares little for the laws of the country or the commands of the authorities, as he believes himself to be an instrument of justice, as is tradition for the leader of the Knights Invictus, but he has taken it to near obsession. He is actually quite caring to those closest to him, especially his subordinate Helene, and holds those he sees as righteous in incredibly high regard. He has seemingly mixed feelings toward the Order of the Roc, as he views them merely as pawns to the Alliance of Nations, but also highly respects some of their members. He is viewed as a knightly rival by Galahad.
