Biography
Aged between 60 and 70 years old, Auru is one of the oldest member of the Resistance. However, he is still in a good physical condition.

He is fairly knowledgeable about the Gerudo Desert and the evils that reside there. He used to be the royal family's tutor, meaning he was in charge of Princess Zelda's education, but then he retired and has since kept his distance. When he realized that something bad was happening, he came back to offer his help.

He appears to have known the Sages who guard the Mirror of Twilight at some point; aside from knowing that they once tutored the young Princess Zelda, it was apparently they who first told him of the mirror and its location.

Link first meets him in southwestern Lake Hylia at the top of a tall lookout tower. He tells Link that he believes the evil currently plaguing Hyrule is related to the desert - specifically, the Arbiter's Grounds, a prison that formerly housed the worst criminals in Hyrule and is also the resting place of a cursed mirror supposedly used to send criminals sentenced to death directly to the Twilight Realm. Though he tells Link that the road leading to the desert is impassable, he nevertheless aids Link in traveling there, through use of Fyer's cannon. The Memo he gives Link instructs Fyer to send Link to the desert for free, a request Fyer cannot refuse due to the fact that Auru saved Fyer's life a long time ago. It is in this way that Link gains access to the Gerudo Desert and, eventually, the Mirror of Twilight. After completion of the Arbiter's Grounds, Auru can be met at any time in Telma's Bar.
