Aethlius

Aethlius is married to Ashaar.

He is a devoted husband, and is only very rarely seen without her. In a group he is often quiet but relatively cheerful, but without Ashaar's quieting influence he can become chatty and betray his naivety. He defers to Ashaar and checks his instincts and decisions against hers, constantly seeking her approval. He is affectionate but can misjudge when the best time to show his affection is, which can result in spurned demonstrations for instance when in life-threatening situations. His curiosity and seeming inability to leave things alone, combined with a very kinesthetic way of learning and want to fiddle with things can place himself and others with him in danger. This can, however, often be monitored and restricted by Ashaar's presence and influence.

Minions
Rulrot is his Imp. Jhommon is his Voidwalker. Betanda is his Succubus. Haadhun is his Felhound.

Aethlius is rarely found in the company of his minions when not in combat, and is resistant to summon any without at least one other trusted individual with him.

He is seen most often accompanied by Haadhun or Jhommon when in dangerous situations and locales.

Aethlius does not summon Betanda unless it proves of almost mandatory necessity due to Ashaar's extreme distaste for the succubus; he respects his wife's stance, and believes the demon to be such an intense trigger to her sensibilities due to the sexual nature of succubi.

History
Aethlius is a bear of very little brain.

As a proficient Arcane Mage, Aethlius was permitted to study his craft in Dalaran and therefore was absent from Silvermoon when Arthas' scourge overran the city and destroyed the sunwell. With a great sense of loyalty to his bretheren, Aethlius joined Kael'Thas' followers when they arrived in the city, and was subsequently imprisoned with them in the Violet Hold.

He remained a follower of the Sunstrider Prince and travelled to Outland, where they joined with Illidan and Vashj's forces. As his peers turned to increasingly suspect sources to channel their addiction and powers, Aethlius was unable to resist temptation and the pressure from his kin to accept demonic influence to enhance his spellcraft.

However, once Illidan was unable to defeat Arthas, Aethlius' resolve wavered. Instead of returning to Outland, Aethlius fled from Illidan's forces and Kael'Thas' service, filled with regret pfor the path he had chosen once he was no longer surrounded by corrupting influences.

He shut himself away in isolation and attempted to return to the arcane practices he had held such talent in, but found himself unable to reverse the change accepting fel energies into himself had caused. As a result, Aethlius became detached from the outside world.

Meeting Ashaar
eh

Aethlius does not know how he became a target for Ashaar's assassination.
