{{Quotation|prophecies|
'''Born in:''' Kree Foothills 
'''Nation:''' Ascalon 
'''Profession:''' Ranger 
'''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. 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.}}
{{quotation|factions|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, with an inner calm and silent confidence his friends find infectious. Aidan has wisdom his younger counterparts lack, though he never feels the need to lord it over them. To [[Master Togo]], Aidan is a youngster, and the Ranger has easily let the mantle of wisdom pass to the [[Ritualist]]. Aidan was glad to join [[Mhenlo]] on his journey to [[Cantha]], though he is troubled nightly by the thought of [[Tyria|his homeland]] having to get by without him. This is not arrogance, but simple recognition of fact.}}

[[Aidan]] (born either 1039 or 1040 [[Mouvelian calendar|AE]]) is an adventurer that travels with [[Devona]], Mhenlo, [[Cynn]], and [[Eve]]. When he was a child, his father was killed by [[Charr]] as he hid in the woods. In search for revenge and to remove his guilt, Aidan hunted Charr after Charr, and soon became obsessed with killing them. After some time, he began to realize the difference between vengeance and obsession and swore never to blur the line of good and evil again.

Alongside Devona, Cynn, and Mhenlo, he met Eve in a graveyard while being chased by Charr and the group later joined [[Prince Rurik]] in an assault against the Charr, eventually joining the [[Ascalonian migration]] to Kryta. Afterward, the group traveled across Tyria, partaking in various world-changing events such as the [[Flameseeker Prophecies]], [[Shiro Tagachi]]'s return, [[Nightfall (event)|Nightfall]], and the rise of [[the Great Destroyer]].

During their travels, Aidan held the position of being the wisest in the group and used his experience in life to aid them when he thought necessary, a position he quickly gave up in Cantha to Togo. While in Cantha, though he was glad to aid Mhenlo, he was often worried about his home having to get by without his aid.

Aidan is last seen with his group during [[Gwen]] and [[Keiran Thackeray]]'s [[The Wedding|wedding]].

==Notes==
*Aidan is one of the only five characters to appear in all 3 campaigns and the expansion. (The others are Cynn, Devona, Eve, and Mhenlo.)
*In the Prophecies manual, he is said to have been born in the [[Kree Foothills]], however in the Factions manual and on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20071217114229/http://www.guildwars.com/gameplay/exploring/tyria/characters/aidan.php official website] (archived), he is said to have been born in [[Borlis Pass]].
*In ''Eye of the North'', with the exception of Boreal Station, Aidan is always seen next to [[Zho]].
*He is labeled as an "[[Archer Henchman]]."

==Trivia==
*[http://www.babyhold.com/list/Celtic_Baby_Names/Aidan/details/ Aidan] is a name of Celtic origin with the meaning of "fire" or "fiery".
*Aidan's battle quote "Fight in the shade all you like. I can still see you," is a reference to the line by the Spartan Dienekes during the movie [[w:300 (film)|300]].
*Aidan's battle quote "I can dance all day." may be a reference to FPS Doug's quote while jumping in an FPS game in the popular internet show [[w:Pure Pwnage|Pure Pwnage]]. Yuun also has a battle quote with an exclaimed "Headshot!" in it, which may also be in reference to FPS Doug's "BOOM! Headshot!"
*Aidan was one of three henchmen in Nightfall who originally did not have an [[elite skill]] at level 20. This [[Talk:List of Nightfall henchmen#Elite skills for Odurra, Gehraz and Aidan in Nightfall|was intentional]], but was changed after the [[Game updates/20081113|13 November 2008]] game update. (The other 2 henchmen were [[Gehraz]] and [[Odurra]].)
**This added [[Practiced Stance]] (elite) to his skills.
**His skills were updated again in the [[Game updates/20091022|22nd October 2009 update]].
***Prophecies: This added [[Incendiary Arrows]] (elite), [[Determined Shot]], [[Dryder's Defenses]], [[Read the Wind]], and [[Distracting Shot]], and removed [[Kindle Arrows]], [[Power Shot]], and [[Practiced Stance]] (elite) from his skills.
***Factions: This added [[Glass Arrows]] (elite), [[Splinter Shot]], [[Determined Shot]], and [[Lightning Reflexes]], and removed [[Kindle Arrows]], [[Power Shot]], and [[Practiced Stance]] (elite) from his skills.
***Nightfall: This added [[Prepared Shot]] (elite), [[Arcing Shot]], [[Keen Arrow]], and [[Antidote Signet]], and removed [[Heket's Rampage]], [[Power Shot]], and [[Practiced Stance]] (elite) from his skills.
***Eye of the North: This added [[Determined Shot]], [[Conjure Lightning]], and [[Lightning Reflexes]], and removed [[Debilitating Shot]], [[Volley]], and [[Whirling Defense]] from his skills.
*Wields an [[Ivory Bow]].
