== Personality ==
Auxiliary's personality before the Dawnshard killed him is unknown. After the Dawnshard burned away most of his essence, parts of his personality were burned away as well.{{book ref|tsm|12}}{{book ref|tsm|20}} Because of this, he lacks emotions, and is always talking in the same monotone voice.{{book ref|tsm|1}} He is self conscious about this, and often gives a description of what tone he would've used when speaking.

Auxiliary is capable of manifesting as a weapon or tool, only limited by [[Nomad]]'s imagination and understanding of what he wants to create.{{book ref|tsm|5}}
