Mental characteristics
Personal history
Aiden grew up in The Sink with Clark, under the impression that Clark was his father. He never had any information about his mother during childhood. Clark, too seemed a reluctant father, avoiding the title of "dad" and showing Aiden little affection though Clark did love him.
When Aiden's Skill didn't manifest naturally, he went through rigorous "testing" from Clark but it was ineffective. These tests involved physically and emotionally stressing Aiden, sometimes leaving him with wounds. While the physical ones eventually healed, the emotional ones never did.
This caused Aiden to grow up cynical and untrusting, unable to get close to people and unable to really love or accept himself the way he was. As he grew into a teen, and it was clear his Skill wasn't coming, Clark sent him to an-expensive CORPs-Run boarding school to help him transition to the life of a True and to find some future in Mech Culture, since Clark couldn't see a future with the savants.

“I think what you meant to says is, ‘Hey Aiden. I’m glad you survived the XCGen bombing and subsequent capture of your brother. Are you okay?’ To which I’d reply, ‘No, but thank you for asking.’”
