Aaron

The Stranger, (later revealed to be named Aaron) is a character appearing in Minecraft Diaries Season 1 and 2. He refused to reveal his name to  Aphmau until S2 Ep.14, but he is on her side.

He has helped Aphmau many times and has also saved her life previously. He was untrusted before, as they knew little about him. Aphmau has gained somewhat of his trust overtime, learning more about him.

Biography
His past is mostly unknown, but he was Lord of a village named Falconclaw. The legend of Falconclaw that people believe isn't true. The legend says that long ago, a Lord went mad and slaughtered every single one of his villagers, and that if you walk over the lands, you can feel the crying souls of the villagers reaching for you. Aaron actually was married to a woman named Lily and they had a son together. (In S2 E42, his son is revealed to be named Jacob as Aphmau experiences a flashback in Aaron's deceased village.) They, along with his entire village, died when he touched the stone in a amulet given to his son by Zane. He was the only survivor and swore revenge on Zane and O'khasis.

The Stranger, aka Aaron, first appeared when Aphmau was being chased and attacked by werewolves. He killed the werewolves immediately and saved her, but spared few words before leaving.

The Stranger makes another appearance many episodes later, thinking Aphmau to be a pawn and spy and not a real Lord of Phoenix Drop- and almost killed her until she confessed. He informed her he had important information about things happening in the village, but in order for him to tell her, she couldn't tell anyone of his presence.

Once she agreed, he explained there was a spy in the village feeding information to Zane. He stayed in a small cave at the shore for several weeks until Scaleswind declared war on Phoenix Drop.

When Aphmau told Laurance of the stranger's presence, he told them he had been tracking Zane for a long time because Zane was responsible for his wife and son's deaths.

He was a extremely valuable source of information on what was happening in Phoenix Drop, and he had extremely fast athletic capabilities, climbing into Aphmau's room without Laurance even noticing. The two then exited her room quickly to spy on Lillian as she was acting suspicious. Lillian talked to Katelyn, boasting of how much of a better job she was doing than Katelyn, and then left. The two then began to apprehend Lillian, but failed as she got away.

It's assumed he helped during the war, although he was never seen fighting. However, afterwards when Garroth attacked Laurence and stole the amulet, he met Aphmau in the forest to help find him.

The Stranger even went into Irene's Dimension with the group and then escaped with them. He defended Aphmau from Zane, but Zane eventually started to gain the upper hand and had almost killed him when Garroth stopped his brother. The group then left the two brothers in Irene's Dimension.

Aphmau stops to talk to him by a tree, asking him, "Are you even bothered by any of this?" He replies to that question, "No, Phoenix Drop did not have any personal attachment to me since I didn't really get to know anyone." Aaron then says says  It would be hard for any regular human being to accept it." Aphmau asks  'Regular Human Being?', then what are you?'' Arron tells her that he is a 'Broken Human' . In S2, E4 "Dance of Swords" he helps Aphmau and Dante fight the bandits and save Nekoette~Tan.

In Season 2 Episode 14, we find out that the Stranger's name is Aaron, as that his deceased wife is named Lily, and what he looks like.

In Season 2 Episode 20 he slits his sword on Laurance's arm to try to get Laurance out of his Shadow Knight Form. Instead, he ends up knocking Laurance out. He carries Laurance back to Aphmau's room for him to recover. Then he explains what he did and why he did it to Aphmau.

In Episode 42 (Aaron's Lament) Aphmau goes into the ruins of where Aaron's son, Jacob and his wife Lily along with himself and many others lived in the past. Aphmau walks into the ruins sees Aaron and then back-flashes play in their heads. Aaron's son Jacob took an amulet from Zane and then Aaron touched the amulet Jacob held, resulting in the death of everyone in the village's deaths except his. Aaron further on said he would devote his life to killing Zane and after that nothing else. Aphmau told him that "You can't just devote your life to that, you saved me and Dante, people who love others and care about others... when I came to Phoenix Drop I didn't know who I was I couldn't remember my past I'm even having a hard time remembering it now. Aaron you just can't devote your life to killing one man. I'll leave you alone now." This event helped fans understand more about Aaron's past.

In Episode 44 (Their Mother) Aphmau finds Vylad in a library burning books, as they are walking back to the tavern they see Laurance and he tells them the only way back is through the forest. Aphmau stops him because they had forgotten Aaron, Laurance says he doesn't want to leave Aphmau there and risk the safty of her for Aaron. So they go through the forest, leaving Aaron behind.

Big Misunderstanding
Aaron is helping Aphmau move into her new house. Garroth and Laurance think that he and Aphmau are dating and keeping it a secret, causing them to steal his clothes and act like him in Olive Garden in one of the episodes. He later asks for his clothes back almost nude while still in the restaurant, and is apparently "so hot he makes all of the girls faint."

Appearance
Aaron wears a black jacket with the hood up, ripped up black pants and boots, and black gloves. He appears to have a red cloth tied around his head which covers his eyes.He also wears no shirt,which lets girls see his "abs"

After revealing his face, it is revealed that he has black hair and black eyes.

In the side stories, he wears a red jacket with the hood up (unless you count when Garroth stole his clothes), black pants, no gloves,and black boots. In this version, he also wears no shirt. (I don't think you can make him wear one.)

Lily

In her brief appearance in S2 E42, Lily, Aaron's wife, is shown to have green eyes and brown hair. She wore a dress slightly similar to Aphmau flower crown one, but in a beige. Aaron gave her a Lily of The Valley flower when he first asked her out, saying she was just as beautiful.

Jacob

Jacob was the son of Lily and Aaron. He has black-brown hair and green eyes. He was the person that Zane gave the amulet to, and Aaron took it from him, saying, "What is that!? Give it to me! What have I told you Jacob, don't take things from strangers..." He seemed to be around Dimitri's age.

Personality
Though secretive and seemingly passive, he seems to have Aphmau's best interests in mind as well as Phoenix Drop's.

He seems introverted and mysterious as he refuses to tell anyone much about himself. He says he is a "broken human" with nothing to lose and nothing to gain. But he does not join Aphmau on her journey to Scaleswind, because he felt as thought he needed to stayed behind to watch and protect Phoenix Drop. But it is later revealed that he followed her after her puppy, Celestia (Celeste for short) comes up to him abruptly in a panic.

Relationships
Aphmau; Aaron and Aphmau are close friends. Not only in Diaries, but in Side Stories as well. Their trust is proven time and time again, though notably when he reveals his name and face to Aphmau in S2 E14. He saved her life multiple times, as well as several other characters. Aphmau thanks him for it many times and they eventually formed a bond. Aaron is still definitely not entirely open about himself and his past, but he does listen and talk to Aphmau more than before. They never showed any "love" interest towards each other.

Nekoette~Tan; Aaron aided in the rescue of Nekoette~Tan and Dante. And after the drama of that event was over she threw an apple at 'Mister', scampering away before he could react. It's pretty clear that Nekoette~Tan is very thankful for his help, and in a cute childish way now attempts to befriend the man.

Trivia

 * The name Aaron is a Hebrew baby name. In Hebrew the meaning of the name varies, and can sometimes mean "lofty", "enlightened", "exalted", or "high mountain". Biblically, Aaron was Moses' older brother (and keeper by God's command).
 * Was given the nickname "Mister" by Nekoette~Tan
 * "Aaron" was also the name of the man who was supposedly murdered around the Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry villages - a case that Aphmau investigated in Episode 31, Season 1. Whether this is the same person or just a coincidence is unknown. Aphmau confirmed that the stranger a.k.a Aaron is not the Aaron who was murdered in Chocolate flavor villages.
 * He might have interests in rock music due to him decorating his house with instrument like decorations. But this could just be because he's a guy.
 * Aaron also has a habit of leaning against walls or any tall object that won't fall over.
 * In Final Fantasy X, there is a mysterious playable character named Auron. He is in many ways the party's mentor as they come to him for advice. His past ties into the past of Tidus (the main protagonist) and Braska's past. He wears a red trench coat (?) and uses a large katana and wears sunglasses.
