Yandere Aaravos

Aaravos is an exceptionally intelligent, cunning, and manipulative individual. He is both mysterious and secretive, but also charming and charismatic. Even Viren finds himself compelled by Aaravos's cryptic words and gifts and is willing to trust him as an advisor, despite being an extremely sharp-minded individual himself.[15] Aaravos knows when to back down from a fight that cannot be won and is very adept at staying several steps ahead of both his allies and enemies. Unlike Viren, Aaravos sees the bigger picture of things and does not fool anyone about his intentions, including himself. In addition to this, he claims to never tell any lies. Aaravos also has shown a hint of arrogance when he reveals his belief on individuals who cannot be reasoned with, claiming them to be simple animals who deserve to be motivated by fear. Despite this, he has shown a dislike of those he considers arrogant, such as Avizandum, who took part in imprisoning him,[16] and the Sunfire Elves who took Viren - an extremely dangerous individual - and brought him right to the Sunforge, their nexus and source of their power. He is also shown to be at least somewhat sadistic, as he revealed the circumstances of Aditi's death to her granddaughter Khessa before killing her as well. Aaravos can be playful and enjoys teasing, but is also able to respectfully maintain an interesting discussion involving both thoughts and emotion. Despite generally withholding information, Aaravos has no issues expressing his distaste for his enemies in Xadia, such as Avizandum, whom he holds a grudge against.[16] Given the centuries-long span of his imprisonment, this malice is made all the more impressive due to how long he has maintained his vendetta. Aaravos is often highly informal in his body language and mannerisms. From resting on the back of his spectral horse in his projection to communicate with Viren to his often circular and airy hand gestures, it appears that Aaravos is a very casual individual when attempting to gain the favor and loyalty of potential allies. Even when committing the act of murder, his body language remains fluid, relaxed, and radiates confidence. So far, it is not yet made clear what his personal goals are or why he chooses to aid Viren. Due to his extensive lifespan, Aaravos is very knowledgeable, possessing a thorough understanding of the cultures, customs, and geography of Xadia and its people. This became evident in his strategy to infiltrate Lux Aurea, as he would require a firm understanding of Sunfire Elf customs to entrust Viren's safety into the hands of his sworn enemies, understanding that he would likely be taken before the Sunforge as part of his purification trial before the Sunfire Queen.[16] This shows Aaravos's understanding of the peoples of Xadia has not atrophied during his centuries-long imprisonment.
