## Biography

### Early Life

#### Childhood

Aodh grew up in New York to a Scottish immigrant single mother, despite that they managed to live a relatively decent life. Most his time at school, Adobe suffered with undiagnosed ADHD, until one of his teachers noticed it and sent him to get diagnosed which greatly helped him once the proper accommodations were put in place. Naturally he was apart of the outcasts of the school and only had a couple of friends.

Once days when he came home from school, he knew immediately something was wrong and that was when the monster attacked. Aodh tried to fight it but was soon pushed out the house by his mother telling him to head to Long Island which he did unsure what would happen to her. While he travelled to camp he met up with a couple of other demigods on the way but he was the only one who managed to make it to camp. As he was trying to get to camp he and the others encountered multiple monsters. Aodh tried as hard as he could but after many attacks, he was the only one who managed to escape.

When he finally arrived at camp he spent a week in the infirmary to ensure was fully recovered before he was sent to the Hermes cabin to wait for his parent to claim him. It took around a year for Aodh to be claimed, in that time he found that he was handy with weapons and making small trinkets so it was no surprise when Hephaestus finally claimed him.

#### Life At Camp Half-Blood

After he had been claimed and moved to the Hephaestus cabin, being introduced to his new siblings, Aodh managed to settle into a routine. He’d work in the forge making weapons and traps for the camp, training with those weapons just really getting used to living in the camp full time. Soon he was made the head counsellor for the Hephaestus cabin after the old counsellor never returned from a quest. He wasn’t particularly close to them but still felt a loss when they died, promising to ensure that every one of his campers felt like they had a place in the cabin.

## Personality

Aodh is a very sarcastic and funny person even though they tend to keep to himself unless around campers that he is friendly with. He is usually very happy to help people unless they’re just wanting him to do stuff for them, and don't stick around for a chat first.
