He grew up in a small town in Norland, not too far from Varhelm, with his parents and his younger sister. Aaron spent a lot of his youth in His parents and especially his father, showed little love for him. His father, who was an old veteran, often beat him when he got into trouble with his friends. He's close with his younger sister Alicia, who cared for him after his beatings. Despite his home conflict, Aaron was a very extroverted and positive lad growing up, having many friends and being well known around the neighbourhood. He remained single however, though being popular with the girls his age. He left home on his 18th birthday, travelling Norland for about a year before finally enlisting in the Northguard. He did this because he wanted to prove to his father that he was worth something, as well as to protect his sister. (This is where he currently, a freshly enlisted recruit for the Northguard)
