Aeolus, known as in Japan, is an antagonist in Mega Man ZX Advent. He is the Biomatch for Model H, and one of four rival seeking to awaken Model W and win the Game of Destiny. He plans to use Model W to destroy all "fools" and perfect the world. He is fought as the boss of the Floating Ruins.
==In the Games==
=== Mega Man ZX Advent ===
Aeolus debuted in Mega Man ZX Advent. His backstory is left a mystery, but he holds himself with great pride, being overly sophisticated and having a fierce superiority complex.Rockman ZX Advent Official Complete Guide. Capcom. July 2007. When he was approached by Prometheus and Pandora, he accepted Model H and joined the Game of Destiny to rid the world foolishness and imperfections.Game manual, Mega Man ZX Advent. 2007., Mega Man ZX Advent. 2007.
Aeolus first appears alongside Siarnaq in the Tower of Verdure, where they face Grey/Ashe after hearing about them from Prometheus. Aeolus Megamerges with Model H and insults them for their inexperience, before they depart with the Model W core.
Aeolus is next found in the Floating Ruins, where he defends the Model W core responsible for distorting the environment's gravity. He ridicules Grey/Ashe for not understanding its power, leading to a boss battle. Upon his defeat, he retreats and takes the Model W core with him. Grey/Ashe then absorbs Aeolus' DNA data for A-Trans, which also unlocks a Model A cipher that reveals how Albert selected the Mega Men.
After the Pseudoroid boss attack in Ouroboros, Aeolus returns alongside the other Mega Men to defend Albert. Vent/ keeps them busy, allowing Grey/Ashe to face Albert alone. Once Grey/Ashe destroys Albert and triggers the collapse of Ouroboros, Model Z immobilizes Aeolus via Model H, allowing Vent/Aile to escape with the unconscious Grey/Ashe. Aeolus disappears in the collapse with the other Mega Men.
In the bonus Extreme mode ending, Aeolus is summoned to serve Master Thomas alongside the other three Mega Men. The significance of this is left a mystery due to the cliffhanger ending of the ZX era.
