Personality: Aaron is a very pragmatic and intelligent man who is used to getting his way. With his pragmatism, Aaron has also become quite patient and willing to wait out certain factors to achieve total success rather rush into things. Aaron believes that there is no reason to allow potential failure by being impatient. To that extent, Aaron is also quite cautious when it comes to setting up arrangements and executing plans. He would rather take all precautions necessary to get the job done successfully than to lament not having the right equipment, strategies, etc. after a failed venture.

While Aaron can be charming and a perfect gentleman, he only does so to further his own goals. People are just like tools to Aaron, you keep them in good condition so that when the time for their use has come, you needn't get new ones to achieve the job. However, anyone that crosses him learns the hard way that beneath the charming exterior is a very cruel man who takes a subversive amount of pleasure from inducing pain into others.

Appearance: At six foot three and two hundred thirty pounds, with an often threatening or brooding demeanor, Aaron's is a tall and intimidating figure. His hair is dark and usually unkempt, unless he is dressed professionally for a major business deal, in which it might possibly have been tamed with a comb and brush. Most often, he sports a goatee that ends in a long beard as unkempt as his hair tends to be.

He keeps his appearance this messy not because he is a reckless man - quite the opposite - but because he feels it makes him look that much more menacing. His dark eyes seem to see all, and even through, everything; his customary gaze could slice through the densest material, and is meant to belittle anyone who might dare think he is inferior to them.

He can be pleasant, though, and the change in his appearance reflects this; he tidies himself up to attend family events such as soccer games and father-daughter dances, and when he is with one of his surprisingly numerous friends, his eyes take on a jovial sparkle and his demeanor becomes far more relaxed and friendly. In these moments he becomes more of an ordinary man, rather than the fearsome giant he prefers to be in the business world.

Aaron is a civilian, and relies fully on his own intelligence, charm, and resources to get him the things he wants. He has no combat or defensive skill to speak of and is only a fair shot; however, he is such a smooth talker that he can - and has - bargained his way out of death. Additionally, he has plenty of money and, when he cannot bribe someone, he simply hires a more physically skilled person to take care of the issue for him.

Also, he's super-sexseh. This helps him get his way with BG's characters many individuals.

Aaron was born the eldest child of notorious crime lord Martin Weissman and his wife Gladys. From the moment he could understand the world around him, Aaron's father groomed him to eventually inherit his criminal empire. Martin's empire was built on "protection" services provided to the middling artisans of Chicago and gambling ring of the upper classes of the city. Aaron learned from his father that one hand of the business built the other, the debts of the gamblers leading to the building up of his forces and equipment, which in turn could expand his territory and create an even more high stakes gambling institutions. Like life, it was circular, and it was to be his, if he met with his father's approval.

Tutors helped augment Aaron's primary education, with Martin not believing the public education system to be successfully building his son to the man he wanted him to be. Aaron was taught the finer points of advanced mathematics and etiquette during his normal education, while Martin taught his son how to torture people who decided to quit upholding their end of arrangements. Aaron found that the feeling of holding a person's life and livelihood in his hands empowering and liked taking bits and pieces from those that crossed his father.

Secondary education was a blur, with Aaron majoring in Business and minoring in Political Science. Earning a degree was one Martin's conditions for Aaron to take over the empire, and wanting control of his father's enormous empire, Aaron dutiful fulfilled his father's wishes. Except, during the time at university he saw the chance to create a better version of the criminal empire and moved to Sacramento after his time at the University of Southern California.

Employing the same methods his father used to create his own empire, Aaron slowly but surely establish his own criminal organization. His initial activities were helped when an associate of his father's granted him the capital he needed to get started. That act by Shawn Johessman impressed Aaron enough to keep he and his family as friends, as his own organization grew to rival his father's.

After the revelation of Specials, Aaron saw an opportunity to gain an upper hand on his rivals, and extend his own organization beyond the confines of California's capital city. Yet like all plans that could enable substantial growth and yield a bountiful reward, he needed to analyze and prepare his moves. Aaron knew he needed to understand Specials better if he was to be able to incorporate them into his forces. To achieve that, he began his plans to capture and study a variety of Specials, starting with certain subjects he was certain no one would be missing if they suddenly vanished.
