Aedanius was an only child and had a generally happy childhood, being very interested in the subjects of law, alien cultures and politics. In his teenage years, an event occurred that caused a rift to develop in his family, a terrorist bombing in the middle of Libertopolos, killing Muleua and cutting a hole in the relationship between Aedanius and his father.
