'''Auguste''' is a monk of the Holy Order of [[Entrana]]. He has lived on the island his entire life, learning the ways of [[Saradomin]] and leading a peaceful life. However, Auguste's desire for a more exciting life has finally convinced him to seek something more. He can be found on the western coast of the southern half of the island.<br />
<br />
Auguste has the honour of being the inventor of the first hot-air balloon, and convinces players to help him in this quest to fly around RuneScape in the quest [[Enlightened Journey]]. Once the quest is completed, players have the ability - with the required [[Firemaking]] levels - to use the [[Balloon transport system]] to various towns and places.<br />
<br />
Also, if players have a [[bomber cap]] and [[gnome goggles]] with them, Auguste will sew them together free of charge.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*His name and occupation are a reference to [[Wikipedia:Auguste Piccard|Auguste Piccard]], who was a Swiss balloonist.<br />
*His appearance and character are also a reference to [[Wikipedia:Jean-Luc Picard|Jean-Luc Picard]], a Star Trek character who, strangely, was based on Auguste Piccard. On his collar Auguste has only three gold studs, unlike Jean-Luc Picard, who has four gold studs marking his captain rank.<br />
*He was the original "test dummy" for the updated chatbox faces before the graphics update. Players who completed the quest when it was first released may remember this.<br />
*Auguste says "----, it's been a privilege flying with you." is a possible reference to what some commercial pilots say at the end of a flight.<br />
*Auguste was one of, if not ''the first'' NPC to have an updated chathead.<br />
