In Three Houses, the identity of Aubin in relation to Yuri, who bears his Crest, is only hinted at, though the connection is made more explicit through Yuri's support conversations with Seteth in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes.
In his self-imposed exile, Aubin continued to live in obscurity in the centuries that followed, and as an elderly man, was taken in by a young Yuri and his mother when they still lived in western Faerghus.
Wise and kind, Aubin taught the young Yuri how to read and write. When the plague that swept through Faerghus threatened Yuri's life, Aubin saved him by sharing his blood, giving the boy his Crest in the process. However, he died shortly after Yuri's recovery due to natural causes.
In Three Hopes, at the end of Seteth and Yuri's support conversation chain, Seteth state's he's gland to learn that Aubin was able to find peace by sharing his blood to save Yuri, despite having always cursed the blood running through his veins.
Additionally, in Yuri's paired endings with male Byleth in all routes of Three Houses except Crimson Flower, it is stated that "informal notes and letters from friends suggested that the pair was extraordinary long-lived and their youth was untouched by the passage of time," hinting that Yuri inherited a similarly long lifespan from Aubin's Crest.
Etymology
Aubin is a masculine French given name variant of Albin, from the Roman cognate Albinus, derived from the Latin albus, meaning "white" or "bright".
