Auron was a playable character in Final Fantasy X. He was a former warrior monk of Yevon, the Guardian of High Summoner Braska, and is Tidus's caretaker. Auron's complex and mysterious past, revealed in pieces during the game, directly tied into the stories of Braska and Tidus's father Jecht, and helped set the stage for the game's events.
During the Dissidian Wars, Auron was responsable for bringing both Tidus and Jecht into the war to aid Cosmos, however after Tidus later defected to the Chaos side, Auron attempted to bring Tidus back to Cosmos' side. He never returned from this mission yet no warrior of either side has claimed this as their doing.
Auron's Basic Attire is based upon his original Final Fantasy X appearance as shown above. In EX Mode, Auron equips his celestial weapon Masamune and gains an aura of Pyreflies.
Auron's first alternate attire 'Warrior Monk' portrays Auron as he was when younger (as shown in flashbacks in FFX), with a less ragged coat, less scarring and darker hair.
Auron's second alternative 'Fighting Stance' presents Auron as coatless, removing his signature coat and fighting in just his monk clothing with his arm in a ronin sling.
Auron's DLC outfit 'Foreign Guardian' is based off of the artwork [1] of early character prototypes - portraying Auron as younger and bearded, with blond hair, brighter clothing and a scaled katana.
Battle[]
Auron is a Defence Breaker, his attacks are based around his overdrives and techniques to either double damage dealt by him or half the opponent’s. He can also use abilities which stun the foe and allow him to deal double damage, allowing him to create powerful attacks. However, while powerful Auron is a slow character both in movement speed and attack speed meaning that agile opponents can easily dodge his attacks and attack before he can brace himself.
