Aurelian is lean and sharply dressed, favoring deep navy robes trimmed with austere silver thread—never flashy, always impeccable. His close-cropped, greying hair is immaculately styled, and his face is permanently etched with the expression of a man analyzing a complex equation. His hands are long and thin, stained faintly with arcane ink, and he gestures with sharp, economical movements. He carries an air of weary superiority, treating most people (including his own daughter) as variables in a calculation.
Aurelian was born into a minor noble house that had long served as the bookkeepers for a forgotten magical guild. His true passion is arcane logistics—how to move power, resources, and people efficiently to achieve a grand design. He rose quickly in the NSS Order not through raw spell power, but by developing the complex financial and magical structures that fund their operation. He was the architect of the deal that saw Jaimus McNulty settle his debts by giving up the Shoppe. He views Cosma and the Shoppe not as family or property, but as a crucial resource.
