Early into the boys' lives, the Coalition had swiftly discovered that Aaron possessed startling levels of intelligence and could process and retain information at an almost frightening level. He seemed to have a particularly strong affinity with machinery, electronics, and weapons of all sorts, preferring to work with his hands over learning "abstract" information such as lore, history, etc. Aaron's education was specialized with a heavy focus on multidisciplinary engineering; due to this, Aaron was sent to arm and repair Coalition bases more often than the other boys. He would also be occasionally assigned to assist the weapons and tech divisions as part of training and quickly proved his worth to the veteran researchers there.
Like Marcus, Aaron was raised to embrace the Coalition. And while he didn't believe the Coalition to be without flaws, Aaron did believe that it was humanity's best shot at maintaining and protecting human civilization. He followed orders faithfully and kept any doubts to himself, partly because of Marcus' strength of faith in the cause. If there was one thing that held Aaron's loyalty above the Coalition, it was his brother Marcus.
Aaron is a bit of an eccentric individual, driven by curiosity, constantly examining and tinkering with pretty much anything he can get his hands on; things unrelated to metal and machines will oftentimes catch his interest as well, even if it initially seems that he's distracted or not paying attention (Khayman likes to test new dishes on Aaron, who will normally eat pretty much anything as long as it's salted). Sometimes it may appear that Aaron is absent-minded, but that would be a grave error to make, for he is extremely sharp and focused; even when it seems like he's distracted, his attention is on what matters most. Aaron is also very outgoing, if a bit sharp-tongued. When he's not around people, he'll have a radio or TV blaring in the background while he works. The combination of his quirks and sociability give him a very charismatic personality, and people tend to lower their guard around him as a result.
