The (former) prince of Val Ossus. He saw his father, Nero Whitgor, murdered before his eyes by a mercenary known as Whitesnake, under the orders of Rámon Rubiano and Ricardo Rubiano, on the Night of Hidden Blades.
He was held captive for years, and escaped with the help of old allies of House Whitgor, after which he set out to reclaim control of Val Ossus, together with his new allies.
During his childhood and adolescence, he was inseparable with Maloc. Of the duo, Aryan was generally the more reckless of the two, with the more world-wary Maloc regularly getting him out of trouble.
