==Evaluation==
;Pros
* Can provide both protection and damage.
* Can [[energy management|actively manage energy]].
* Uses [[Flesh of My Flesh]], a cheap, full-range, quick [[resurrection]] skill.

; Cons
* Flesh of My Flesh costs Aeson 50% of his health and does not restore targets to full health; it is a risky choice during battles.
* He has the same [[binding ritual]]s (Pain, Shadowsong, Union) which the beginner Ritualists get as a [[Ritualist skill rewards|reward]] for the quests in Shing Jea area. Therefore Ritualists are advised not to use these skills if Aeson is in the party.

==Dialogue==
;Shing Jea Island towns and outposts:
:''"I am Aeson of the Crab Armada. I am something of a rarity among my people, I was born blind you see. Normally I would have been left out on the jade; given to the sea. However Master Togo convinced my father that I had rare gifts, that I could display my strength by binding spirits to my will. I owe the Master a great debt. Did you need something?"''

;Wajjun Bazaar (during [[Mayhem in the Market]]):
:''"It is now time to show what you have learned. This is the true test of one's strength."''

;The Jade Sea towns and outposts:
:''"It is strange to return to my people after being an outcast for so long. They no longer see my lack of sight as a weakness, and treat me with a respect that I am unused to. In some ways I was more comfortable the way things used to be. Did you need something?"''

;Divine Path:
:''"Fighting by your side was quite an experience, (character name). I feel like I am now ready to take my place among my people. Perhaps one day I will even become a champion."''

==Quotes==
;Shing Jea Island towns and outposts:
:''"Even though I am blind, I can see that you could use my help."''
:''"Invite me to go with you and you won't be sorry, my strength of will is second to none."''

;Shing Jea Island:
:''"It is strange to come to a place surrounded by water. I can't imagine that my home on the Jade Sea was once much like this island."''
:''"Soon I will return to my homeland. When I left I was not well respected, thought to be weak. I can only hope that my father recognizes that I am no longer a liability to the Crab."''
:''"When Master Togo first brought me here I was unsure of my abilities, afraid and alone. I have since left such weaknesses behind."''

;The Jade Sea:
:''"I sometimes miss Shing Jea Island and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. The Jade Sea is too silent."''
:''"The Jade Sea is a dangerous place, we should not linger in one place for too long."''
:''"When the sea was turned to jade, countless living creatures were trapped beneath the waves. I can feel the presence of their spirits all around us."''

===Battle quotes===
:''"For the Crab!"''
:''"I will make my father proud."''
:''"I will prove my worth."''
:''"I will speed your journey to the Mists."''
:''"Only the strong will survive!"''
:''"Strength of will should not be underestimated."''
:''"The mists call."''
:''"The [[Spirit]]s heed my call."''
:''"When you meet your ancestors tell them Aeson sent you!"''
:''"You are too weak to survive!"''

==Notes==
*He wields what appears to be a [[Holy Branch]].
*He wears a variant of [[Ritualist Luxon armor]] with no tattoos.

==Trivia==
*His skills were updated in the [[Game updates/20091022|22nd October 2009 update]].
**This added [[Boon of Creation]], [[Disenchantment]], [[Pain]], [[Shadowsong]], [[Spirit Channeling]] (elite), and [[Union]], and removed [[Attuned Was Songkai]] (elite), [[Mend Body and Soul]], [[Shelter]], [[Soothing Memories]], [[Spirit Light]], and [[Weapon of Warding]] from his skills.
