He had powers of telepathy and hypnotism, which he used to commune with the Great One and control the peasants.

Zargo and Camilla appeared to defer to his judgement, but both complained that he had withheld these additional powers from them, which he had promised to share.
Aukon wanted to sacrifice Romana and initiate Adric as a vampire at the Time of Arising. Aukon and the others died when the Doctor launched one of the scout ships into the heart of the Great Vampire. Without the link to the King, Aukon aged to death and decayed. (TV: State of Decay)
