Evaluation

 * Pros
 * Can provide both protection and damage.
 * Can actively manage energy
 * Uses Flesh of My Flesh, a cheap, full-range, quick resurrection skill.


 * Cons
 * Flesh of My Flesh costs Aeson 50% of his health and does not restore targets to full health; it is a risky choice during battles.
 * Cannot remove hexes (whereas other henchmen can, including Sister Tai)

Dialogue

 * Shing Jea Island towns and outposts:
 * "I am Aeson of the Crab Armada. I am something of a rarity among my people, I was born blind you see. Normally I would have been left out on the jade; given to the sea. However Master Togo convinced my father that I had rare gifts, that I could display my strength by binding spirits to my will. I owe the Master a great debt. Did you need something?"


 * Wajjun Bazaar (during Mayhem in the Market):
 * "It is now time to show what you have learned. This is the true test of one's strength."


 * The Jade Sea towns and outposts:
 * "It is strange to return to my people after being an outcast for so long. They no longer see my lack of sight as a weakness, and treat me with a respect that I am unused to. In some ways I was more comfortable the way things used to be. Did you need something?"


 * Divine Path:
 * "Fighting by your side was quite an experience, (character name). I feel like I am now ready to take my place among my people. Perhaps one day I will even become a champion."

Quotes

 * Shing Jea Island towns and outposts:
 * "Even though I am blind, I can see that you could use my help."
 * "Invite me to go with you and you won't be sorry, my strength of will is second to none."


 * Shing Jea Island:
 * "It is strange to come to a place surrounded by water. I can't imagine that my home on the Jade Sea was once much like this island."
 * "Soon I will return to my homeland. When I left I was not well respected, thought to be weak. I can only hope that my father recognizes that I am no longer a liability to the Crab."
 * "When Master Togo first brought me here I was unsure of my abilities, afraid and alone. I have since left such weaknesses behind."


 * The Jade Sea:
 * "I sometimes miss Shing Jea Island and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. The Jade Sea is too silent."
 * "The Jade Sea is a dangerous place, we should not linger in one place for too long."
 * "When the sea was turned to jade, countless living creatures were trapped beneath the waves. I can feel the presence of their spirits all around us."
