Aonaurious is the most aggressive and relentless of the qlippoth lords, mercilessly pursuing his prey and yielding to nothing. Both mortals and demons frequently become his quarry.1

Appearance

The Enigma Clot has the form of an obsidian-carapaced insectoid predator with dozens of legs. Four evenly-spaced unblinking eyes around his head give him omnidirectional vision so that no prey is ever out of sight.1

History

Aonaurious spent centuries away from Golarion, instead targeting other planets in distant star systems. He returned to Golarion only recently after Tar-Baphon's escape in 4719 AR, attracted by the imminent bloodshed the Whispering Tyrant would inflict that might empower Aonaurious and increase his following.1

Worshipers

Particularly bloodthirsty hunters, gladiators, and mercenaries committed to increasing their martial skill at any cost sometimes follow Aonaurious. More committed devotees continue to fight and pursue even when suffering grievous wounds, often pushing themselves to an early demise. Due to the reckless nature he encourages, cults of Aonaurious often disappear as each of the members continue to die in combat or from overexertion.1
