Personality

More spontaneous than his brother, Aiden is impulsive, cocky and prone to violence. Most likely to being abused and mistreated in his youth by his own pack members, Aiden does whatever is necessary to survive, eagerly engages in violence and indulges in using his alpha powers as part of the Alpha Pack to dominate and bully those who were weaker than him. Though the more bloodthirsty of the twins, Aiden does care for his twin and eventually shows remorse when Lydia tells him he is a bad guy. Like his brother he has a sense of honor, as he displayed fealty towards Scott's allies for their conflict with the Alpha Pack.
