Description
While this man boasts a rangy build that stands him to 6'1" tall, it's the incredibly light gray eyes creating a dynamic contrast against his light mocha complexion which steals the show. These gray eyes are tucked underneath thick brows and set above prominent cheek bones that soften downward into leveled cheeks and an angular jawline, face being tipped at the end with a jutting round chin. Aiden's expression is often intense and focused. When he smiles it lights up his face and makes him appear boyish that a lack of facial hair adds to. As for hair, it is black with spiraled tips turning a shade of chestnut as it hangs around in a riot of springy curls that are often home to feathers or bits of down. He doesn't have a particularly muscular build but neither is he overtly skinny. He has the build of one who spends time outdoors, but does not devote his life to physical training. His hands and arms are home to a lattice work of scars from avian talons.

Personality
Aiden is an extroverted introvert, to put it simply. There will be situations that he'll be a man of few words; words that when they come out, are laconic in fashion. It isn't that he hates people, rather, social situations can grow to be too complex and he loses interest or focus easily - or simply put, he finds them emotionally exhausting. People have far more subtle cues that he doesn't fully grasp, and in large crowds, this is entirely overwhelming for him. Certainly he will turn into a wallflower or simply leave when at his limit.
Background
Aiden Grayson is the middle child of Daniela Bisland and Rodric Grayson, born around eleven months after Ainsley and thirteen before Ailys. He is neither as rash as his older brother nor as calm as his younger sister. Much to his parents' dismay he also did not become the politician they were hoping for. It isn't that he did /try/. Aiden did try to be the statesmen they wanted. But by the age of ten he knew he just didn't understand people. Why do they frown like that when saying happy things? Why do they look angry when saying something nice? Why do faces do the things that they do? Faces are weird. People are hard. Aiden doesn't get it. It isn't that he doesn't like people-- he does. He simply prefers the company of his birds because words are frustrating, and people are frustrating. Birds are easy.
At the age of eleven he discovered The Mews at the Bastion, and fell into falconry. It was something to distract him from the frustrations of his studies at the time. Over the years, however, it became his passion. He understands birds in a way that he does not understand people.
He adores his parents and wishes he could have been what they wanted, but like his older brother he chose to walk his own path-- and that was to become a falconer.
