Auster Pepperbox

Auster Pepperbox is in the year below Celia in Spachursus. Celia meets him in the third book, Flash of Red, when Mr. Bazemore, one of the faculty members at RAGS, decides to set up a program called the New Inter-coterie Cooperation Exercises or NICE for short. It seperates all the students into a group of five people across grades and coteries so they can better know each other. Auster Pepperbox got put into Celia's group. He's most notable because he can't seem to get out a sentence without saying at least one "um" around Celia.
