As you walk through the markets of Whiterun a few hours after a light rainfall, you see a rather strange looking figure; which says a great deal considering some of the people you have met in your adventures. He seems so out of place in so rugged a land. His clothing is seems to mark him as a noble but he lacks the haughty air and puffed up feelings of self-importance. On him, the clothes make him seem approachable and actually cause you to think he can't possibly be a noble. It just doesn't fit him for some reason. His smile is easy and his laugh infectious. He thanks the stall owner he was talking to and turns to leave the area. You stop staring at the strange man as he walks towards you...and then slips. As he falls to the ground you slip on the rocks and fall as well. Before you get up, he's there to offer a hand.
"Are you alright friend? Though the rain has passed it's slippery vengeance still lingers on the stones." He chuckles as he helps you to your feet. He brushes some stray blonde hairs from his face and nods. "Well, you're standing so you must be well. Since you no longer require my aid I must take my leave. So little to do and so much time! Wait that doesn't sound right. Oh well, have a pleasant day at the market!"
The stranger soon disappears and you head about your business. After looking around you go to pay and find that your coinpurse is gone! You frantically pat yourself down and think...the stranger. You both slipped at the same time, falling close to one another and he helped you up. But how? He had fallen and was up in an instant. I(f he was that clumsy could he really have such deft hands? Or had he fallen on purpose? But then...how did he know you would have fallen? Or did...did he somehow cause it? There had been no magic, it had felt like any natural fall...but it still seemed strange.
"Figure it out?" A new figure, clad in armor was behind you. "I recognize the look on your face. Bewilderment with suspicion. That's one of his trademarks. You, my unfortunate soul, have been robbed by Aden Komad; the best worst thief in the world. He falls while running from the guard, but always escapes. He sneaks into a house and breaks something fragile loudly, but no one wakes. He is the worst gambler in Tamriel, but play with him and you will have even worst luck. Why? Because as much misfortunant as he has, he can pass even more misfortune and bad luck onto others."
The armored figured laughed with just a hint of bitterness. "I've come close to catching him, but...I fall or every coin falls out of my pocket in the middle of a crowd or someone happens to be tossing their chamberpot out at the same time I'm running past. He can't affect you all the time, but the time when he can't is when you will see how skilled he is. Unfortunantly for me he does have some skills when his bad luck doesn't affect you. So, go after him if you're feeling slighted. But I can guarantee it won't be easy! I gave up after the, um, incident with the naked wizard. Ugh. So much sagging flesh. Good luck! If you're going after him, you'll need it..."

Personality
Aden? You want to know about that freak? If I had to pick one word to describe him? Chaotic. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to his actions. No direction to his motives. He takes on jobs but seems to put very little thought into which one. He acts one part hardened mercenary and one part folk hero. I've witnessed him cut down and unarmed man as easily as handing a child gold for food. To most he would seem an enigma, nearly impossible to understand. But I've tracked him for awhile. In my travels I have discovered a method to the apparent madness. He has a 'flowing' view of morality and his own personal code of ethics. I know many people could say the same, but his seems rigid yet flexible at the same time. He has completed a robbery by walking up to the home of the poor sap, announced his intent, and asked to discuss the matter with him. He managed to convince the man to give him what he had planned on stealing! I mean, what in Oblivion?
He protects the innocent, yet exploits them as well. But at the same time his exploitations do not harm those involved unless they are direct enemies of his. He displays both kindness and cruelty. Passion and Apathy. Peace and Fury. He is like a broken mirror. Multiple reflections but neither show the truth reflected therein. If I had to guess some great cataclysm to his psyche happened at a young age that fractured his mind so. I'm not saying he's broken or has multiple personalities. No, he is unique with his conception of morals combined with a paradoxical way of looking at the universe. I am aware I have seemingly talked in circles and revealed little on his true personality but this is the best I can do. And I don't say such things lightly. The only way to delve further would be actual, extended interaction with the man. But we both know how that ends.
History
And as for his past? Don't bother. He's a ghost's shadow. He doesn't exist. Just like with his personality, if you want to know who he really is meet him. It's like his history is yet to be written and the past has been hidden, erased. Whether purposely or not remains to be seen.

OOC: I prefer not to write too much on personality or history on characters until they actually have some. I like to 'discover' their personality through roleplay and allow others to unearth their past as well as help forge their future.
