Lore

Lore from the official website:

Nation: Ascalon

Birthplace: Borlis Pass

Age: 32

The son of a huntsman, Aidan grew up with a quiver of arrows on his back. His mother died giving birth to him while his family was on a wagon train from Kryta to Ascalon. As soon as the boy was old enough to hold a bow in one hand, Aidan's father packed up just the good steel heads of their tools and the two men headed off into the wild. They found a spot in the middle of a forest clearing, refitted their tools with hand-carved handles, and built their own home from scratch.

Aidan is a survivor. Nothing is out of the question if it means he and his companions will live for another day. He thinks fast and acts even faster. His inner calm—a sort of simple confidence—has a way of infecting everyone around him. Being the oldest member of the party, he has the wisdom of years his younger counterparts lack, though he never feels the need to lord it over them. But he does feel a certain amount of responsibility to keep the group informed and out of trouble if at all possible. From time to time, he takes on the role of group patriarch, but only if there is a meltdown, and he sees the need for his cooler head to prevail.

Aidan, NPC

In the Prophecies Campaign, he is first encountered at an unnamed fishing village in Wizard's Folly before the Searing. After this, he makes numerous appearances in the journey from Ascalon through the Shiverpeaks and into Kryta.

The Factions Campaign showed that Aidan, together with Devona, Eve, and Cynn, had gone with Mhenlo to Cantha when the latter received a request for aid from Master Togo. They would later travel to the Echovald Forest to seek the Kurzicks' aid.

In the Nightfall Campaign, Aidan and his friends have answered Kormir's call for help. They aided the Sunspears as they sought to avert an apocalyse.

Prophecies
Pre-Searing Ascalon
Northern Shiverpeaks
Lion's Gate	"The Searing still haunts my nightmares, torturing my slumber with memories of the day the sky rained fire and our homeland of Ascalon was left in ruins. Prince Rurik defied his father, King Adelbern, and led the refugees from our land across the Shiverpeak Mountains, home of the Deldrimor Dwarves. And though Prince Rurik died during the trek, his sacrifice let the rest of us reach Kryta in safety. Firstwatch Sergio of the Lionguard and the heads of the White Mantle... that religious group who believe in a new pantheon of unseen gods... allowed us to settle north of the city. Though we left to deal with matters in other lands, I feel at home with Tyrian soil under my feet. I feel the feats I accomplish here are those I was truly destined to perform. Though our homeland lies in shambles and my people face potential defeat at every turn, we have a will stronger than iron! The Ascalons will not break... not now, not ever again!"

Evaluation

Aidan is a moderately good attacker and can take a decent amount of damage. He does not have any defensive or interrupt skills. Also, his elite skill is not of much use. In terms of behavior, he is similar to Reyna, another ranger henchmen in the Prophecies Campaign.

Pros:

• Low priority as a target, since he is usually far away and has relatively good armor.
• Fairly resilient due to armor.
• Consistent moderate damage.
• Kindle Arrows gives him fire damage; very useful against cold-based enemies.

Cons:

• Poor selection and use of skills. One of the most effective ranger tactics is to be a menace for enemy spell casters, but he is not.
• Moderate damage less suited for combat-heavy areas.
• Aidan's elite skill (in Prophecies and Factions) is fairly limited in its use
• Aidan does not have an elite skill (in Nightfall).

Dialogue

Prophecies
-	"I carry nothing that I cannot live without, leave behind nothing that can be tracked, take nothing that I do not need, and make no promises I cannot keep. If you have seen me it is because I want you to, if you have not, then I have already seen you."
Factions
Kaineng City	"I find it hard to breathe in this sprawling mass. There are too many people and not nearly enough trees. Mhenlo was right to bring us here, but I wish he warned me this city would be such a, well, city. If Cynn doesn't strangle him first, I might put an arrow in his rear if we're stuck here too much longer."
Echovald Forest	"The Kurzicks are a beautiful people, with their ability to bring color and beauty where was nothing but gray stone. I would like to have seen these forests before Shiro's wail froze them. Can I help you with anything?"
Nightfall
-	"I saw the Char [sic] destroy my homeland, burn down my village, murder my parents... and I hid in the woods. Later, I did... terrible things to avenge them; to assuage my guilt... until I finally realized the difference between vengeance and obsession. Once he's walked both sides of the path, a man never again blurs the line between darkness and light. I've seen evil. I offered it my hand. Never again."

Quotes

Prophecies
Idle quotes
Shiverpeak Mountains	"Ever since my mother passed away, I've not been fond of the mountains."
Ring of Fire Islands	"I admire the creatures who live here. Nothing but fire and death for as far as the eye can see, and still they manage to thrive." "Not far now. Our goal is at hand." "The hard pumice gives little evidence of a creature's passing footfalls." "There is an odd if admittedly sinister beauty to this place."
Battle quotes
-	"How does this taste?" "If you hear my arrow whistle, it's too late." "Melandru take you swiftly." "Nowhere to run to. Nowhere to hide." "Right between the eyes!"
Factions
Idle quotes
Kaineng City	"I'd like to be out of this city as soon as possible." "This city is full of eyes, and all of them are watching us." "This city unnerves me."

Nightfall
Idle quotes
-	"By Melandru's noble branches! Did you see that hawk? It was as large as a pony!" "If you'd like to spar, I am ready. But don't you think we should be moving on?" "We're not in Ascalon any more." "Would that we could win the battle before swords were drawn. Think how the world would be, if such were true?"
Battle quotes
-	"Be as strong as the oak, my friend!" "Cross blades with me, and you seal your fate!" "I will never fail my comrades!" "I will protect my friends and my people!" "Melandru give me strength!" "One arrow, one kill." "Ready for the fight?" "Surrender and go back to your homes. Your battle is already lost." "The power of the bear, the eyes of the eagle!" "Willing and able!" "You have become the hunted!" "You will answer for your crimes!"

Notes

• Aidan is one of only five henchmen to appear in all the campaigns so far (together with Devona, Mhenlo, Eve, and Cynn).
• His Nightfall dialogue shows an obvious inconsistency with the offical lore regarding his background and childhood.

Trivia

• Aidan is one of only four Prophecies characters to have an official write-up on guildwars.com.
• Seen in the Guild Wars Prophecies opening cinematic.
• Of his group of friends, only Aidan and Devona do not appear on the box art for Guild Wars Prophecies.
