Race	Breton	Gender	Male
Resided in		Dunlain College of Winterhold
Appears in		Skyrim

The Augur was once a Breton mage from Dunlain in High Rock and a well-respected, brilliant student of the College of Winterhold. He delved into magic in a way no one had seen before, and showed a particular talent for the School of Restoration. However, during an ambitious, unapproved magical experiment in the Midden, he lost his corporeal form and wound up fused to the magical energies that flow through the College. He thereafter appeared instead as a large sphere of blue-white light, described as an incorporeal "maelstrom of writhing oddness and flame". He has sequestered himself in the Midden, the catacombs beneath the College, ever since, but keeps tabs on everything going on in the College. He possesses a unique wisdom which the College has relied on in times of need.

In 4E 201, he guided the College through the potentially disastrous crisis they faced following their excavation of Saarthal and the discovery of the Eye of Magnus.
