=History=
==Origins==
When he began the game, he was quickily enslaved by a group of criminals and forced to work on their farms. He would later become a criminal himself and became involved with illicit activities such as slaving and off map travel.
Auel founded his own slave and farming organization, the SEC, and supplied funds to the GDF in exchange for manpower to help capture slaves. It was his first experience with running a guild, and the first exposure to an organized military.
These origins are one of slavery, exploration, illegal activity, and militarism. It's not surprising that such an environment would create the dictator that would be known as Führer Auel.
==The Royal Guard==
When his stint in the SEC was over, he found the potential for something more significant in The Royal Guard. Protectors of the First Auel, the Royal Guard kept peace in the Castle and guarded the King on his throne. It was peaceful times, players came from all over the game to request assistance from the King or request his wisdom to settle disputes. The tower guilds stayed above in their flag room, and the halls were filled with guards, nobles, and people socializing as a Kingdom.
At the time, Auel was known as Arzachel. The King recognized Arzachel for his leadership, and made him Captain of the Royal Guard.
Several days thereafter, a Civil War broke out in the Kingdom between a faction of noblemen and their handful of followers and the King and his guardsmen. Peace was shattered, and everything fell apart.

It was known simply as "The Alliance".

This experience would lead to all State guilds giving up sovereignty and the State being ruled by an extremely powerful central authority: Auel himself.
==Trailblazing and Krung Thep==
The practice of Trailblazing was invented after the fall of The Alliance by Auel. It is a time of intentional inactivity and guildlessness to learn new skills. It is still practiced to this day.
During the first trailblazing, Auel learned how to create graphics, starting with shields, and later swords. He also studied under several glitch masters to learn not how to use glitches, but how to find them.
These skills attracted the attention of the development group: Krung Thep. Lead by Chief of Research, Cae and her brother, Cael. Auel worked on the A6 Project aka Sentinels. Working with other researchers, Auel created the classifications Type 1 and Type 2 invincibility, and worked on projects ranging from a portal system to invisibility. All of these developments would have major ramifications in the future.
Auel met Harau Bascey, a fellow member of Krung Thep, and encountered several Graal Defense Forces members again such as Insignia and his lieutenants, Hawx and Lynx. Auel also met Viral (then known as De Wolf) in Krung Thep briefely.
Chief Cae and Cael dissapeared suddenly, and disbanded Krung Thep. It was later revealed they were working on a project for the organization speculated to be called Veda.
The whereabouts of Cae and Cael are still actively sought today by certain individuals, even more than three years after they vanished.
==The Second Royal Guard and The Rise of Imperia==
After the end of Krung Thep, Auel discussed the idea of starting a Kingdom with his friend from KT, Harau Bascey. Auel would be Captain of the Royal Guard as he was before, and Harau would be the King. Harau already had a family: The Basceyians that would become the Royal Family.

Auel declared that he would make himself a Margrave, acting regent of the throne until a suitible King could be found. Still only wanting to be apart of something bigger, not actually wanting to lead it, Auel continued to act like a Captain of the Royal Guard.
Line 68:
Seeing that if he was to lead effectively, Auel returned to pick up the pieces of Imperia and did not assume the title of Margrave, he became King of Imperia.
King Auel commanded massive forces, Imperia was groundbreaking and new. People rallied to the call "Visi Krusa Imperia" (All Hail Imperia).
The Imperian Standard Military Rank Structure was created by Auel to manage the massive size:
Line 110 ⟶ 84:
Imperian doctrine focused skill over numbers, resulting in a team of highly trained Knights, Captain, and Commanders. As a result, the Imperian Military of the Second Era was probably one of the greatest in graal's history. This doctrine still is followed by many Imperians.
To rally forces, Auel put the focus on Imperia as a nation, as a Kingdom, not on himself, resulting in the Knights, Captains, and Commanders being more independent and self aware, adding to their effectiveness and the ability of the Imperian Military to operate three separate branches of five guilds each, unconnected by guild chat. The awesome feat has never been replicated.

Auel is currently MIA.
==Legacy and Criticism==
Some say that the methods that Auel has used to create The State and his influence make him a tyrant. Notably his ruthless and wanton destruction of smaller military guilds, despite having said on many occasions that he is "fighting to help give voice to smaller guilds". Others call him a visionary leader who pioneered the creation of a revolutionary new era of guilds, a great leader, and arguably the most legendary military commander in the game. Both are subjective: whether Auel was an evil tyrant, or a benevolent dictator.
Auel's philosophy is most clearly shown in one of his quotes: "I don't play fair, I play to win". For Auel, the end justifies the means. He has had no qualms over manipulating, hacking, banning, bribing, coercing, and intimidating others to get his way. His goals are unclear and unknown but to a few, so whatever noble, if even, end that these undoubtedly unethical actions were taken for is also unclear.
==Personality==
After interacting with Auel, many people come to think that he hates them, this is not the case. He comes off as aloof and detached because he does not care about his subordinates. As someone who has lead guilds for so long, he has lost too many subordinates to become attached to them. It is only to a small circle of officers that he cares about and is himself. He has been known to ban several of his own soldiers for the sake of banning a single enemy.
Auel rules through fear and awe. He never brags about what he is capable of, people know through his actions and the rumors from others.
Auel was not always a callous and cold commander. However, as he himself laid down the rules of war that the military follows, he has participated in more wars than any other player in graal. War turned a jovial, friendly and caring fellow soldier who wanted to be apart of something bigger than himself into a disillusioned and ruthless dictator.
He is known for his sociopathic tendencies, especially his drive for power and ruthless methods to dispose of anyone who gets in his way.
==Quotes==
-"Winners win while whiners whine."
-"Only the foolish deal in absolutes. There is no black and white good and evil, only grey."
-"I don't play fair, I play to win."
