Aidan is a wise and experienced ranger who is a member of the Heroes of Ascalon party. 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.

Behavior
Mostly similar to Reyna.

Tyria

 * "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."

Cantha
In Kaineng Center:
 * "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."

When spoken to in the Divine Path:
 * "It will take some time to track down and destroy all of Shiro's remaining minions. I wish you luck."

Tyria
Idle quotes in the 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."

Other idle quotes:
 * "I'd like to be out of this city as soon as possible."

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!"

Cantha
Idle quotes in Kaineng City:
 * "This city is full of eyes, and all of them are watching us."

Battle quotes:
 * "Almost too easy."
 * "If you blinked, you missed my shot."
 * "Melandru, guide my arrows!"
 * "Right between the eyes!" (same as in Tyria)
