Aristoles Calm

Personal history
Commander of Helman's Second Army. A man from a noble family who was hailed as a prodigy from a young age, spending the majority of his childhood training to become a Commander within the army. Because of his reputation, few people looked at him as a person, with the exception of Prince Patton and his best friend Hubert Lipton, who were eager to have another boy their age to play with, from that moment on becoming inseparable friends. Later, he also came to fall in love with Princess Siera Helman, who he began courting in secret for some time.



Like Patton, Aristoles grew tired of Helman's government, but unlike his reckless friend considered the best solution to be to reform from the inside, gradually using his influence within the system to change the internal workings of the Empire.

Patton attempted to recruit him into his rebellion, but Aristoles, offended that Patton would abandon his sister for several years without alerting her of his survival, refused his offer, creating a rift between the two that has yet to recover.

He is a cold, quiet and thoughtful man who has spent the majority of his life in solitude, creating a sharp contrast with the fiery Patton. Despite his apparent stoicism, the passion for reform burning within him rivals his friend's, though he is much more reserved about it. He is considered to be a genius soldier due to his skills as both a warrior and as a tactician, with his archery considered to be the best in the Continent.

Appearances
Aristoles is a powerful enemy in Kichikuou Rance and becomes specially aggressive after the player has taken the Princess. In this game he becomes mad if the player chooses to humiliate Sheila.

In Rance IX Aristoles recieves an item from Hanty which causes monsters to attack constantly the border between the human and demon realms. This is in order to prevent the second army, the most numerous of the Helman armies, from fighting against the rebellion troops. Aristoles willingly accepts the item and continues to keep the second army busy at the border until he's discovered and forced to flee to the demon realm or face death at the hands of his soldiers. Unfortunately he's attacked in the demon realm and is found almost dead by Isis,a kalar, who brings him to the kalar village in order to recover. There he meets Hanty once more and is able to tell her that the their strategy failed and that the second army will join the battle against the rebellion forces before, finally, passing away.

Trivia
His hobby is gardening, and his is rarely seen without a flower in his hand.

Aristoles is one of the few characters that have a song in the game named after himself, namely Aristoles theme, this despite him not playing a not too big role in the game itself or being a playable character.
