Aaron is the middle child, ultimately the smartest of the three Haines kids, and frequently the most mischievous troublemaker. Aaron's intelligence eventually led to him skipping ahead to advanced math and science classes, and was often the cause of sibling rivalry with Mike. Aaron inherited Logan's talents as a jokester and intellegence from his mother, Sierra. Aaron in the later seasons is noticeably a lot shorter than his siblings and his height is often made fun of by Mike. Whenever Logan was in trouble with Sierra, Aaron was always there with a quick remark that would almost always get him in trouble. Although initially sharing mostly the same interests as Mike and his father, throughout his adolescence Aaron became very conscious about the environment and civil rights. He became very skeptical of the intentions of organized religion, especially Christian denominations, and became a vegetarian in later seasons. He wrote for the school newspaper, where he concentrated on social and political issues, including criticizing Binford for its pollution record, which led to a fierce disagreement with Tim. Unlike Mike who dated many different girls, Aaron, for the most part, only dated one girl, Karen, whom he remained with for the rest of the series.
Aaron is generally the most level-headed son in the family, although because he is an intelligent boy, he was also prone to arrogance, jealousy, and sometimes a little prejudice. His father has a tendency to dislike and mock anything he has no interest in, such as ballet and opera, and Aaron inherited this attitude, which ironically puts him at odds with Tim, since Randy has no interest in cars and tools. Out of all the Haines siblings, Aaron is the one with the least respect for his father. He once called his father's show "Fool Time", and compared his father to an ape. When Logan brought Mike onto Tool Time, Randy immediately called it a stupid show and acted hateful towards Logan and Mike. During high school, he wrote a school article that turned many adults against Logan for Binford's pollution record, threatening his father's reputation, and he bitterly disapproved of Mike's jockish article earning the paper's front page, which was usually occupied by Aaron's articles. Although he does mend his relationships with them after learning the error of his ways.
In the Eighth Season of the show, Aaron leaves for Costa Rica (along with Karen, who stayed in a nearby town), reappearing in only one episode when he came back for Christmas. On that occasion, Aaron felt that so much had changed in his absence that he no longer fit in with the family, although confiding in Wilson aided his feelings. Unlike Logan and Mike, Randy is not good with his hands and does not enjoy working on crafts or the Hot Rod. Aaron often relates more with his mother, with whom he shares his intelligence and enjoyment of acting (although Logan embarrassed Aaron during one acting scene thanks to a malfunctioning stage prop).
Early on in the show, Mike and Aaron were portrayed as "partners in crime". While they did argue like normal brothers, they generally bonded over their mutual enjoyment of teasing Caitlyn, but they found themselves as the brunt of jokes to Caitlyn;s insults. As they got older, they grew apart somewhat, as Aaron became more focused on school and social issues and Mike became more focused on athletics and girls.
Early on Aaron and Caitlyn generally only get along when united against Mike, though things improved somewhat as they got older.
