History: He was born in a small island village. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the island to a summer home near a ruined castle.

His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the island due to the painful memories there. Aldous took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up halberd and armor he uses now. He has drifted apart from his friends and has been working freelance.
