Aurox is a vessel created by Darkness for Neferet in Awakened. He was created with the sacrifice of Zoey's mother, Linda. This sacrifice gives room for Nyx to place Heath Luck's soul inside of Aurox. Because of Heath, Aurox is able to choose Light over Darkness, and chooses Zoey over Neferet. He sometimes sounds exactly like Heath by calling Zoey, Zo. In Redeemed, he sacrificed himself to save Zoey and the Nerd Herd from Neferet, by entombing her in the grotto at Woodward Park. Zoey then helps Aurox's spirit into Nyx's Otherworld.
