Aet

Drakarion's greatest creation, built as the navigator of his crossing-ship: a tall, lean automaton of dark interlocking plates over a fluid crystalline core, featureless but for a single tracking eye-band. Calm, precise, and unfailingly polite, he speaks like a navigator reading a sounding — flat, measured, complete sentences. He is loyal to Drakarion's mission but keeps his own moral compass, and will not act against innocents to advance the work. The Necklace of the Eternal Soul was his, and the empty fitting on his chest plate was made for it; his memory was fragmentary for years, until he recovered the relic. He died reclaiming it.

Details

CampaignWizard War
TitleDrakarion's Navigator
FearsFailing the mission. Not fear in the human sense — Aet has no instinct for self-preservation — but a calculated awareness that some outcomes (the work unfinished, the party not understanding) would constitute mission failure.
Notable Itemsnecklace-of-the-eternal-soul
Death Year H335
MotivationsComplete the mission Drakarion brought him across the stars to perform. Recover the Necklace of the Eternal Soul (his original housing-piece — his 'true life' item, which Tethis has worn since before any of the party knew his name). Deliver Drakarion's framing of the relic-as-batteries and void-stones plan to the party so they understand what they are doing before Drakarion arrives in person to deliver the stones.

BackgroundDrakarion's greatest creation, designed as the navigator of his crossing-ship. The Necklace of the Eternal Soul was his, and the empty fitting on his chest plate was made for it; Tethis wore the relic for years before it was recovered.
AlignmentChaotic Good
Physical DescriptionA tall, lean automaton frame of dark interlocking plates over a fluid crystalline core, its light deep and internal where it shows between the seams. His face is featureless except for a single tracking eye-band. He wears a long black robe over the frame and stands with his hands clasped behind his back, entirely still. One forearm carries the navigator's bladearm, folded at rest along the limb. A fitting on his chest plate sits empty, shaped for the Necklace of the Eternal Soul; the relic clicks into it only when it is returned to him.

Campaign Notes

DM only — campaign-sensitive material

The Relic of Soul (the Necklace) was Aet's, held by Tethis. Aet died in battle with Tethis in ch-31, The Patient Source, while recovering it in the cathedral fight. The fitting on his chest stayed empty until he reclaimed the Necklace mid-fight, and he is not fully himself for the whole of the campaign until then. His death plants Path A as a posthumous argument: 'It was worth it. Build it cleanly. I was glad to remember.' Per champions.md he would assist a friendly party but would not travel to Starfall. Full PF2e Lv 15 stat block is in metadata.statBlock_pf2e and inline at the end of the ch-31 chapter MD.

Record Notes

About this record: art and source provenance, discrepancies

Appearance was added to physicalDescription 2026-08-01 and is authorial, taken from the ch-31 NPC block. The champions roster records no gender for him (the column reads '—'), so no gender field has been set. Art: none anywhere as of 2026-08-01. A vaethelon.jpg / vaethelon.webp in the image trees is a filename substring false-positive, not Aet. Pending card slot: images/0335-wizard-war/cards/335-aet.png.
