About Auron.... [definitely spoilers]

There is, of course, the possibility that Auron received a scar over his eye while descending Mt. Gagazet before his death, or he may simply have decided to have the Pyreflies of which his Unsent form was composed make him appear to have a scar, just as he had them make him appear to be older.
