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, his Breton heritage, 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. I guess that's it.
