He was a powerful Breton mage from the city of Dunlain gifted mostly in restoration magic. He was fanatically ambitious when it came to his magical experiments, and for reasons that could be purposeful or accidental, he became the Augur you find in the bottom of the college.

What ever he did to become this thing was most likely very scandolous and sinister as the only person willing to give out information on him is Tolfdir.

Given the location of Dunlain in the Western Reach and the strange postioning of human and animal remains throughout the Midden, the Augur was probably actually a Reachman. This reflects his actions being frowned upon as the Reachmen were known to practice taboo magics.
