Layte Aubury is the owner of the Aubury's Rune Shop in Varrock. He stocks many free-to-play runes, including chaos runes and death runes. Players can also ask him to be teleported to the Rune Essence mines, even if they have not completed Rune Mysteries. When he teleports players, he utters senventior disthine molenko! A friend of Mikasi the Magic Tutor and a close associate with the Archmage Sedridor of the Wizards' Tower, it was Aubury who researched the secrets of Runecrafting so extensively he discovered the teleportation spell to the mine, and is capable of wielding magic for certain spells, such as Tele-othering players to magically closed mines in the northern ice fields.

During the Rogue Trader activity, players will ask Aubury to supply Ali Morrisane with runes, and Aubury will agree. After the completion of Rogue Trader, players might get cheaper runes from Ali Morrisane, provided they are able to solve a puzzle.

As of 2 September 2009, with the personal shop update, Aubury now offers 30 free air and mind runes if the player trades him, much like his friend Mikasi of Lumbridge used to. The runes restock when bought, but rather slowly, at least half an hour's time to fully restock. The runes will not be restocked until the period of time has passed, even if you should change into another world, though your log-out time does count for this restocking period. After the September 2009 update, Mikasi no longer gave out any jobs or runes, but she had heard of Aubury's free samples and suggested that the player go there to seek such supplies. Mikasi has now been removed with the 2012 Evolution of Combat update.

On 4 April 2011, Larriar replaced Aubury as the runecrafting cape seller, and so Aubury does not wear the cape anymore.

2011 Christmas EventEdit

Aubury also attended the 2011 Christmas Event Banquet. Zimberfizz is to the right of him and Wizard Shug is to the left two seats down across an empty seat.

TriviaEdit

• If you ask Aubury, at the 2011 Christmas event banquet, how his shop has been doing, he will say that "It is a lot quieter these days" and "Teleporting people to the rune essence that many times in a day gets tiring". This is a reference to the recent bot nuke.
• It seems likely that Aubury has 99 Runecrafting, as he used to sell the Runecrafting Cape before an update; it is now sold by Larriar in the Runecrafting Guild.
