—Aiden to Jesse. ^src

Aiden is a recurring antagonist in Minecraft: Story Mode, who appears as the tertiary antagonist of "The Order of the Stone" and the main antagonist in "Order Up!". He was one of the 4 members of The Ocelots, a team of builders rival to Jesse's gang. He later forms his own group, The Blaze Rods. He is voiced by Matthew Mercer. He is the second episodic antagonist of the series, preceding The White Pumpkin, PAMA, Mevia, Hadrian, and Romeo.

Overview

Appearance

Aiden has brown hair, olive green eyes and slightly desaturated white skin (which appears more saturated and red on the Netflix edition), and wears a black leather jacket with the face of an ocelot (two crossed blaze rods in "Order Up!") on it. Under this, he wears a green shirt with yellow buttons similar to Magnus' armor, possibly merchandise. Later in episode five, he wears armor similar to that of a Roman gladiator, which also resembles the arms and legs of Soren's armor.

Personality

Aiden can be seen as narcissistic and egotistical. Aiden is rude to Jesse's gang in episode one, with him breaking a block, which led him burning Reuben's dragon costume and determinately destroying Jesse's build. However, in episode four, if Jesse lets Lukas leave on good terms and lets him go after the rest of the Ocelots, Aiden will help Jesse's gang destroy the Wither Storm by distracting it with fireworks. Near the end of episode five, if Jesse leads Aiden to safety, Aiden apologizes for his wrong-doings, and then says he will become a writer and start over. Jesse also has the option to instead throw Aiden over the edge of Sky City, which causes Aiden to still hold his grudge. Throughout episode five, he is shown as manipulative, selfish, bitter, and merciless, (shown when Aiden spawns Ghasts and other Mobs and hurting Lukas (determinant)) coalesceing into power hunger during which he enthrones himself in Sky City. However, at very end after Jesse beats him in combat, he shows his true cowardice and determinant repentance for his actions.

Trivia

• Besides Aiden, Otis, TNT Dustin, and the Schoolboy are also voiced by Matthew Mercer.
• Aiden is the first antagonist in Minecraft Story Mode who can directly kill Jesse with a sword if they don't react quickly enough. (While Jesse does have a sword fight with Ivor earlier, Ivor won't kill Jesse if they don't react fast enough.)
• After Aiden is defeated, if Jesse takes him to safety and later tells him to make a new start, Aiden will show interest in building himself a house and becoming a writer.
• If Jesse chooses to send Aiden over or leave him behind in "Order Up!", Aiden will later glare at Jesse rather than speak with them after the descent.
• If Jesse chooses to help Lukas instead of Isa, they have the option to knock out one of Aiden's teeth.
• It is unknown what happened to Aiden after he was arrested.
• Oddly, if Jesse allows Aiden to help defeat the Wither Storm, in Episode 4 Aiden, Maya, and Gill can be seen, cheering in the crowd.
• If Jesse decided to stay in Beacontown in "Above and Beyond" and allowed Radar to complete his monologue, Radar mentions that Jesse received a letter from Aiden, asking for a way to redeem himself.
• Aiden's shirt is supposed to look similar to Magnus' shirt.
• After he had worked off his debt to Sky City he was eventually let out of prison on good behavior. Rather than go back, he would see this as a chance to start afresh free from the jealousy and insecurity he had felt back in Beacontown. As part of his fresh start, he would try to help New Sky City get off the ground (if you’ll pardon the pun) and become an adviser to Isa and the Sky City folks. (Technically the Blaze Rods would be the most experienced ground-dwellers in that whole world so they’d have a lot of knowledge that the others wouldn’t have.) Aiden alludes once to wanting to be a writer, which is a dream he could finally get to once he starts this new life for himself. And when it came time to writing a book, he might just decide to write it about the greatest hero he’d ever known - A hero that he was once super jealous of… but only because of just how much he admired them. He’d write a book all about how this hero conquered the Witherstorm, brought people together, went on crazy portal hopping adventures… And eventually when he was done he’d be all excited to publish it only to realize that Lukas had written the exact same book first. And thus poor Aiden would be forced to repeat the cycle of jealousy all over again.
