Raxus Aurand is an Auxiliary in the Imperial Legion, he is the perfect soldier. He meets Erik a day before the battle, but through their battles Raxus and Erik will become brothers. He is very patriotic to the Imperial cause, but similar to Erik. He believes the stormcloaks to be flawed more in the fact there is a bigger threat. He doesn't enjoy killing, but it also doesn't bring Raxus pain. He tends to just follow with what the Empire does, a good soldier following orders. Will soon learn that his family will be hit by this war, which will hurt him severely. Largely, Raxus will not only serve as a confident to the Dragonborn, but will also serve as an on the ground example of an Imperial Soldier. Act as if you a patriot to your nation, someone has threatened it's existence and you want to fight for it. You have experiences which would lead you to fight against your own.
