Overview

General Howard Aarons was the driving force in the creation of the military unit called VIGILANCE, but the unconventional end of the unit forced him to retire in disgrace, shortly after the Rikti War. Now, General Aarons investigates the Sky Raiders for his own personal reasons, providing the heroes investigating the villain group with whatever info he can offer. General Aarons also negotiates peace traties all around the world, including the cease-fire between the Earth armies and the Traditionalist Rikti faction.

In game, he will show up as General Z or General Aarons, and is a Pet level ally with a faction of Soldier.


Heroes can find him:


Villains can find him:


(IMPORTANT, POSSIBLE BUG: During mission Rescue Captives from the Nemesis Army, where he appears as an ally, General Aarons is presented as a Boss; He is not. During my mission, (Heroic, Solo) he had the hit points typical of a Pet of my level, and conned as +1, just like a Pet. His attacks weren't those of a Boss-level mob either. Taking into account that he's a mission objective and must survive or you will fail the mission, my advice is to treat him as a Pet and avoid unpleasant surprises.)

Quotes

During the mission Help with Conference Security, in the peace talks with the Rikti Traditionalists, he's the negotiator for the Earth side:

Briefing

I am General Aarons, government liaison to these peace negotiations. Every time I think I've seen it all, something unbelievable happens.

Not too long ago we were invaded by these Rikti aliens. Worst day in history, worse than Brass Monday or even D-Day when the 5th Column blew the heck out of Independence Port. Sad... sad day.

But now, here I am standing across a table from a Rikti Traditionalist trying to sign a peace treaty. They seem like they mean it, like they want to stop the bloodshed, but if I've learned one thing in all my years, it's that you have to learn to expect the unexpected.

Good day, Character.


During the mission Rescue Captives from the Nemesis Army, he will have been captured by the Nemesis soldiers and must be saved:


Once free: C'mon. Let's get the others

If refound: Alright, quit grinning at the old man having a senile moment, and let's get cracking.

Ambush: Recapture the prisoners!
