Aiden Gonoru (MLIII)

Student

Farmer  *(Formerly)*

**Aiden Brando Gonoru** is a Main Character in "*Miracula Luxia III*".

Although he is introduced as the son of two farmers who live in poverty, he is actually the son of Goznor's king, lost in the woods south of the capital three years after his birth.

Up until a year ago, he was often visited by a mysterious and kind man who was revealed to be his older brother, Donovan, but he never knew who he actually was until they met as brothers for the first time.

He is the late younger brother of Donovan Gonoru, the youngest son of Goznor's late king and one of Adam Kaos's most trusted allies. A young man whose candle of life burned away too soon as it was snuffed out by Mordred Darkthrop and his allies.

## Overview

*Aiden is a gorgeous young man whom Gloria really likes.*

*Not much is known about him, except for the fact that he is the son a farmer and has inherited his father's farm, currently working in it and making a living.*

*However, there is something strange about him. Еven though he seems to be a friendly, innocent boy, there is something really amiss which makes everyone suspicious of him.*

***Could he be more than what he claims to be... ?***

## Death

### Killed By

* Himself *(Caused, Sacrifice)*
* Adam Kaos *(Indirectly Caused, Accidental)*

Aiden bravely rushes to fight Mordred Darkthrop himself, although he is well aware that he will likely lose the fight. He manages to surprise and wound him, although he sustains numerous injuries himself.

Just as he is about to lose, however, Adam rushes to his aid. The young hero fails to notice the spirits that are aiming their arrows at him, so Aiden leaps between them to save his friend.

* Mordred Darkthrop *(Caused)*
* ***Mordred's Spirits***

Unfortunately, this twist of fate proves to be fatal for Aiden. As soon as the arrows reach him, he is struck by a large number of them, leaving him mortally wounded and unable to continue the fight.

After bidding farewell to both his brother and his friend and making the latter promise that he will defeat Mordred Darkthrop, he peacefully closes his eyes and dies in his elder brother's arms, satisfied that his sacrifice will not be in vain.

## Killed Victims

* Himself *(Caused, Sacrifice)*
* Steele Brennte *(Caused, Alive)*
* Arun Wynlee *(Caused)*

## Trivia

* Aiden's name is of Gaelic origin. It means "*little fire*".
	+ In addition, it also has roots in Irish mytology.
	+ **Aodh**, a name that has a certain meaning regarding the creation of this one, is the Celtic god of sun and fire. This is a reference to Aiden's alignment and element, respectfully.
* Aiden's surname (*Brando*) is of Italian origin. It means "*firebrand*", "*touch of fire*" and, last but not least. "*sword*".
* Aiden is the first character of the Gonoru family (*as well as the last*) to die on-panel.
	+ This number does not include his father (*The King of Goznor*) as he was already dead before the events of the Story began.
* Aiden is the only member of Adam's group in "*Miracula Luxia III*" to die.
* Aiden is the only character in "*Miracula Luxia III*" whose design changes *before* he is fully introduced into the Story.
	+ His hairstyle is slightly longer (*But the color remains unchanged*).
	+ His eye color is completely different (*From golden to light blue*).
	+ The type of clothing that he wears is changed (*From long-sleeved shirt to hoodie)*, as well as the color that compromises it *(From light red and dark(**er**) blue to blood red and light blue*).
	+ Unlike his previous design, he also wears an inner necklace around his neck.
* Due to his new appearance, Aiden bears a slightly close resemblance to his brother- Donovan Gonoru. This is due to the fact that he has a color of brown that is very close to his and because he dons a necklace that looks similar to the one that he often wears around his neck (*It may also be the same necklace, given to a different person*).
	+ Another interesting fact is that their eyebrows are in the same position and their eyes are of the same color. Also, they both have hair on their chins (*Although Aiden's has yet to grow bigger*).
* Although Gloria clearly has a crush of him, Aiden does not seem to feel the same way for her.
* Aiden is only character in "*Miracula Luxia III*" whose Element changes mid-series (From **EARTH** to **FIRE**). He is also the first one who does so.
* Aiden is mentioned several times in "*Miracula Luxia IV: The Oath*" by his living brother- Donovan- who mistakes Geralt for his own sibling, even though they do not look similar at all.
* Aiden is one of the few characters in the "Miracula Luxia" universe overall who are not put down before reanimation on-panel, but never reanimate.
	+ Since most characters in the storyline reanimate sometime after their demise, it is assumed that a member of the heroic posse (likely Adam or Donovan) put Aiden down before he could turn into an Undead.
