Austin Winters

Austin Winters is a main character in the first season of King Of The Golden Sun, portrayed by comic Aaron Fronk.

Early Years
Nothing is stated about Austin's early life except for that he was born in Los Angeles, California. He eventually came under the protection of Mr. Cage at an early age and was to be his protegee. While beginning his hunt for a piece of the Golden Dragon, Austin learned of the Ancient Relics and decided to part ways from Cage by faking his own death. After his leave, Caitlan Thomas became the new protegee to Cage.

Golden Dragon Era
Austin spends his time in Tokyo learning of Toko, a local gang leader. He poses as a superhero, cleaning up the streets of gang members and gaining valuable information. In one such escapade, he is captured by a photographer for a newspaper, leading Cage to find out he is alive. Cage sends Caitlan Thomas to find Austin and the golden piece held by Toko in the Tokyo Tower. Austin meets Caitlan and agrees to help her as he is searching for one of the Ancient Relics, Toko's Sword, also held by Toko in the tower. During this time, he also develops romantic feelings towards Caitlan that aren't returned as she loves Blake Ryan.

Austin agrees to return to the Cage Ranch and join the team in search for the Golden Dragon. His motives are more directed at finding the Ancient Relics, but he keeps this fairly secretive, although Caitlan suspects he is up to something. He enters the 50th Battle Of The Desert, but never competes as himself as he is knocked out by Herrington and left in a storage room. Later, Cage tells him to dress as an old man, leaving Austin to win the tournament and receive the 50th Anniversary Trophy, holding another Ancient Relic within.

During the events of Trouble Down Under, Austin travels with Lyons and Caitlan to British Columbia to examine a pair of royal gems thought to have ties to the Golden Dragon. He and Caitlan then travel to Australia to retrieve Blake, Joshua Jones and Grace Potter. Blake states they need to hide their other treasures for the time being and Austin stops at Winters Island, an island in the South Pacific owned by his parents. There, Austin pulls an ancient shield from his vault, stating it is time to bring it home, as it is another of the Ancient Relics.
