Aden Bero is a half-elf, 21 years old, and undeniably striking in appearance.  6'1" and lean, with a Chelaxian sharpness to his handsome, pale features, yet he obviously was raised in Varisia by appearance and attitude.  His auburn blonde hair is wavy, and either falls to his shoulders or to his chin when put in numerous small braids for his performances.  By fire-light, when he juggles for the crowds at the Sandpoint Theater, his hair radiates in the glow.  His eyes, however, are the most exotic feature of this rogue performer, gentle violet with strands of amber and reddish gold flecks.  By firelight, they are nothing near gentle, burning with an eerie glow that resembles crackling molten fire, inspiring confident awe in some, and captivated discomfort in others.

In person, Aden is easy to speak with, but notably quirky as well, perhaps even a bit skittish at times.  Still, he is easily liked by any on his good side, most of which are.

He has a notable and relatively chaotic history during his life in Sandpoint.  As a child he went through a phase of seizures brought on by his viewing of fire, babbling incoherently in demonic, fiery languages.  But these subsided, and he later saved a pair of children lost and stranded in one of the dangerous fogbanks that often swept over Sandpoint, many times since displaying an incredible ability to see through fog, smoke, and fire.  He nearly burned down a barn, and who knows how much of the town with it, when he began to practice juggling burning torches as a teenager.  And soon after Cyrdak Drokkus, grandiloquent actor, gadabout, and proprietor of the Sandpoint Theater took the lad under his wing to provide Aden some focus and elderly mentorship, to the satisfaction of many.  Aden has since become respected as a decently talented and emerging juggler, acrobat, orator, and has been pursuing skill in the crafting of alchemical pyro-technics.  He also spends a significant amount of time carousing or dare-deviling and getting into trouble.

He was suspected of involvement in the chapel burning five years ago.  Belor Hemlock put the heat on Aden so to speak, and the two have kept one eye on each other since.  When it turned out Aden had actually saved a number of people in the fire, he gained a good deal of standing with many Sandpoint citizens, but there are certainly those that don't care for his mouth, which can be cutting when provoked, and disrespectful when earned.
