Aurelia

Aurelia's History

Aurelia is the current guildmaster of the Boros Legion on Ravnica, ascending after deposing her own 'mother'. Unlike the former guild leader Razia, the Parun of the Boros, Aurelia keeps a close relationship with her guildmembers. During the years of her leadership, she has shown a strong appreciation for the ordinary citizens who are often caught in the middle of interguild violence. True justice, Aurelia argues, isn't merely the enforcement of the letter of existing laws (let the Azorius fret over that), but the establishment of equitable and compassionate relationships among all of Ravnica's people. That means protecting the weak from the depredations of the strong, sheltering the innocents who are threatened by war, and ensuring that enforcement of the law doesn't become oppressive.

When Gideon Jura met with her, she asked him to lead the cleansing of the Ninth District of Ravnica, inviting him to join the Legion. Gideon was looking for help against the Eldrazi and thought Aurelia could help him save thousands of lives. After the cleansing of the Ninth District, Aurelia once again offered Gideon to join the Legion. After his refusal, she told him he was always welcome at Sunhome.

Some time later, Aurelia attended the guild summit on behalf of the Legion, and witnessed its dissolution after the murder of Isperia. Afterwards she was part of Ral Zarek's alliance in an attempt to prevent inter-guild conflict and to get ready for the upcoming war.

During the War of the Spark, Aurelia was one of the generals of the forces fighting Bolas's Dreadhorde, closely working together with Gideon. She served as the representative for the Boros Legion at the resurrection of Niv-Mizzet as the new Living Guildpact. She survived the War and displayed was openly distraught over Gideon's death.
