Aubrey Fitzwilliam

Aubrey Fitzwilliam is the central protagonist in the Laws of Magic series. He is an extremely intelligent, determined young man with a talent and passion for magic, and tries his best to live up to family and social expectations while forging his own path in the new wold developing around him. Aubrey is the son of the Prime Minister of Albion, Sir Darius Fitzwilliam, and renouned ornithologist, taxonomist, free thinker and fighter for women's rights, Lady Rose Fitzwilliam. At the start of Blaze of Glory, he is seventeen years old.

Physical Description
Aubrey is described as being pale, slim, with dark hair, and dark-brown eyes that are almost black. He is just above average height, and built more like "a poet rather than an athlete" [BoG, 2.] He prefers to wear his hair long and parted in the middle. Due to his magical accident and the strain of hovering on the edge of True Death, he has a weak constitution, and is prone to bouts of physical sickness when under mental, emotional, or physical strain. This usually leaves him with dark bags under his eyes, being unable to put on weight, and otherwise corpse-like when exhausted. After merging with the Beccaria Cage [ToT, 340], his body and soul are reunited, and he is much more physically capable of handling stress and appears much healthier and lively.
