Terrigenesis, Auran emerged with green skin, green hair, large fox-like
ears and the ability to choose any word and hear that word wherever it
was spoken all over the Earth. Though not confirmed, she also seemed to
have greater agility.
A trained investigator and police officer, Auran was
accustomed to investigating crimes, interrogating suspects and using a
gun when needed.
After dying, Auran was revived by the Reader but she emerged with holes in her memory that overlapped and caused temporary madness before Sterilon repaired the holes.

History: (Uncanny Inhumans I#15 (fb) – BTS) – Auran grew up in New Attilan, a blonde and blue-eyed girl before undergoing Terrigenesis.
(Inhuman I#7 (fb) – BTS) – Auran underwent Terrigenesis, which gave her green skin, agility and super-hearing, allowing her to choose a word and then be able to hear that word spoken anywhere on the planet.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#15 (fb) – BTS) – Auran trained as a police officer in Attilan. In time, she gave birth to twins, Treste and Irelle.
(Inhuman I#7 (fb) – BTS) – Auran served as the chief investigator for Attilan. When Attilan fell, most of her security forces fell and she was one of the few to survive, losing hundreds of friends in the process and barely escaping with her own daughters. In time, she saw Frank McGee enter New Attilan seeking refuge, reporting that he'd been a cop before discovering he was one of the new Inhumans, giving him the power to flash light from his eyes.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#15 (fb) – BTS) – In New Attilan, Auran raised her twins, Irelle and Treste, to be kind young women.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#15 (fb) – BTS) – Auran tried kissing Treste goodbye one morning but Treste, in a bad mood, refused.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#15 (fb)) – McGee went to the bar in New Attilan and the resident police officer there, Auran, sought him out, wanting him with investigations. They liked each other immediately and began working on cases together. Auran came up with new ways for McGee to use his powers.
(Inhuman I#7 (fb) –BTS) – Auran bestowed the name Nur on McGee but he preferred to go by his real name.
(Inhuman I#7) – McGee and Auran found three Inhuman civilians seeking to buy black market Terrigen and they disrupted the sale. Auran sympathized with them, realizing her own twins would be of age for Terrigenesis in a year or so. Auran reported in to Medusa, introducing McGee to the queen, and Medusa tasked them with finding Black Bolt, revealing their former king was still alive. They hit the streets in New York City, where Auran refused to hide who she was even though McGee kept his eyes covered, and they soon entered a bar when Auran heard whispers (of the word "Maximus") that could lead them to Black Bolt. Following leads, Auran and McGee soon found Maximus holding Black Bolt his mental captive. Maximus made Black Bolt speak, which blew up the entire room. Auran was vaporized.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#15 (fb) –
BTS) – Irelle and Treste, after the death of their mother Auran,
interviewed everyone they could who knew her and they assembled a book
in Braille based on all of the memories of her. They then had Reader
"read" the book, which would give life to a new
version of Auran.

Irelle and Treste, after the death of their mother Auran, interviewed
everyone they could who knew her and they assembled a book in Braille
based on all of the memories of her. They then had Reader "read" the
book, which would give life to a new version of Auran.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#15) – The construct of Auran appeared in the Quiet Room in front of Treste, Irelle, Reader, Forey and Frank McGee and she screamed in pain from the noise in her hyper-sensitive ears.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#16) – Auran, realizing her memories were fractured (due to fragmented memories of the original Auran as remembered by others), also realized her powers had changed and that she could hear everything now. McGee drew a gun, trying to calm Auran down, but she grabbed the gun, hit him with his own light blast, then fled. Auran rushed into the Quiet Room and saw a mural dedicated to Black Bolt, the man who killed her, and she drew her gun. Flagman responded with her security force and Auran attacked savagely. McGee and the twins entered and Auran finally calmed down as she started to realize that her memories were broken to pieces, like she remembered having kids but didn't remember giving birth. When Black Bolt entered the room, Auran reacted, striking him, then she realized she had accidentally absorbed the sound of his voice, making her incredibly dangerous.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#17) – Black Bolt kept Auran in control as he had McGee, Flagman and the others evacuate the Quiet Room. Black Bolt asked Flagman if he could keep Auran contained while he reached out for help. Flagman kept Auran tightly contained in his ribbons and he kept her tightly bound even when she made sounds that he found difficult to contain until Black Bolt and Medusa returned with Sterilon, who was able to repair Auran's mind and return Black Bolt's power to the king.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#20/2) - Auran, Treste and Irelle attended a celebration for Black Bolt at the Quiet Room.
(Black Bolt I#8) - When Lockjaw teleported Black Bolt and Blinky into New Attilan, Auran (with gun drawn), McGee, Iso, Grid and Naja responded, assuming that Black Bolt was being controlled by Maximus, but the situation soon de-escalated.
(Secret Warriors II#11) - Auran joined a large group of Inhumans teleported by Magik to help fight Mr. Sinister and his Unhumans. Later, she saw Black Bolt's efforts to make Moon Girl the new leader of the Inhumans fail.

They gathered all of the intel they had on their mother and prepared to get Reader to do a read for them.

Reader reluctantly "read" the book then, as Frank McGee rushed into the room, Reader manifested a new Auran who screamed in pain due to the noise in her hyper-sensitive ears.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#16) – Irelle and Treste began to realize this new construct wasn't their mother. McGee drew a gun, trying to calm Auran down, but she grabbed the gun, hit him with his own light blast, then fled. Reader used his second read to heal McGee then the twins rushed out into the Quiet Room, helping their mom calm down after she was fighting the security forces. They started to understand that creating her from other memories had changed who she was as a person and had altered her powers. When Black Bolt entered, Auran accidentally took his voice away, absorbing it into herself and making her incredibly dangerous.
(IvX I#1) - In New Attilan, Irelle, Iso and Inferno waited to escort a group of children, including Valto, to the chamber for Terrigenesis after Medusa gave them an inspirational speech.

(Uncanny Inhumans I#18) – Black Bolt instructed Auran to remain completely silent or she could kill everyone there. Irelle and Treste stayed behind as the building was evacuated, helping Auran have incentive to keep quiet, and Flagman wrapped her in his ribbons to contain her, struggling to do so when she made some minor sounds. Just when it seemed he could no longer contain her, Black Bolt and Medusa showed up with Sterilon, who helped make her mind more cohesive, allowing her to feel like a whole but separate person and Sterilon returned Black Bolt's power to him. Auran recognized that she needed to make new memories but she wanted to remain with her twins.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#20/2) – Auran, Treste and Irelle joined other Inhumans in celebrating Medusa at the Quiet Room.

(Uncanny Inhumans I#6) – Irelle called and warned Treste that McGee was on his way to the Quiet Room. Treste was flirting with Reader, trying to learn more about his powers, then McGee showed up with Inferno and he chastised Treste for flirting with an adult while she was only 16, as Black Bolt battled Ajaxis and Toz nearby. Treste accompanied the others in investigating the missing Antigen for Marishi Spin (of Ennilux).
(Uncanny Inhumans I#7) – McGee took Reader (with Forey), Treste, Marishi Spin and Inferno to the room where the Antigen was stolen and he used his powers to find a clue: a scrap of fox fur. Forey tracked the fur to the Capo, revealed to be alive and possessing humans. Reader tried to put Treste to sleep to protect her but Capo hit Reader, McGee and Inferno with the Antigen, blocking their powers. McGee shot Capo then Treste pushed Reader out of the way of Capo's claws, getting wounded in the process. Capo possessed a pizza man until McGee threatened his life then Capo abandoned the man, possessed Forey and rushed away. McGee secured the Antigen and returned to the Quiet Room, where he gave the device to Black Bolt.
(Uncanny Inhumans I#10) – Treste followed Reader through New York, revealing herself, and she offered to let him see through her by using his powers.
