Aulis

Aulis is a thief that attempts to mug the group during their first visit to Moordell.

Combat Skills

Aulis' combat skills are quite limited. He attacks primarily with a short knife, and thus relies on a close distance to fight.

To make up for this, he often travels with a group, most of whom attack with only their fists.

Though he tries to appear threatening, Aulis is actually somewhat of a coward, and will retreat as soon as the tide begins to turn.

Personality
Aulis makes himself appear incredibly confident and intimidating. He approaches any potential victim with threats of violence, and isn't afraid to back them up. As his battle with Cadfael shows, he is even willing to kill for material gain.

Trivia

 * Aulis' appearance was actually based off of reaction to an unfinished sketch of his portrait. Only one arm was drawn, in order to be layered on later, and a guideline across his face did not erase properly.

These traits were eventually kept and incorporated into his signature amputated arm and facial scar.
