Dr. Aeon
- This article is about the NPC, Dr. Aeon. For the developer, see Dr. Aeon (Developer).
Overview
Dr. Aeon can be found as an Elite Boss, an Archvillain, or as a Scientist for Arachnos.
The man known as Doctor Thaddeus Aeon AQSA (Arachnos Quantum Structure Association) is without a doubt the most brilliant scientist in the Rogue Isles and probably one of the most brilliant minds of the whole planet. A metahuman genius able to work on literally hundreds of projects at the same time, he is responsible for the creation of inventions such as the NutriPaste and the Power Transference System.
Apparently, he is also the creator of the mysterious structure of unknown purpose in Grandville known as "The Web". Head of the Aeon Corporation based in Cap au Diable, as well as the governor of Cap au Diable itself, he has under his command other scientists of talent such as Dr. Forrester and Dr. Geist... who are almost as crazy as Aeon himself.
Aeon is also known for having developed the Rogue Isles University. Aeon University offers revolutionary courses in 'Transdimensional Shift Phasing', 'Demolitions for a Better Tomorrow', 'Cloning and You and You', and 'Power Sources: Risk vs. Reward'.
Doctor Aeon is also the founder of Architect Entertainment, a company that brought with it the Mission Architect, through which citizens of Paragon City and the Rogue Isles can create and experience untold multitudes of virtual realities.
His less virtuous activities include the killing of an indeterminate number of citizens of the Rogue Isles in his futile attempts to create superpowers, being among the victims the Thermopolis, parents of the young heroine Pyriss. Dr. Aeon is also involved in the creation of the superpowered villain known as King Midas, whose Goldbrickers have been plaguing Cap au Diable for some time now. He is also known to have thrown people into the Shadow Shard for no real reason other than his mind tells him to.
His enemies include the fanatical Luddites from Cap Au Diable, the Arachnos Marshal for Cap au Diable, Leon Brass, and the mysterious man known as Professor Echo. Recently, the Television became a new adversary after forcing Dr. Aeon into writing a scientific report encouraging everyone to watch more television.
Doctor Aeon is a coward man, but he can be a very dangerous if he's found with his combat armor on. That technological jewel allows him to use huge amounts of energy in combat, in melee or at distance, can envelop him in an energy field and can even create copies of himself, which, while not as strong as the original, are still very strong.

- During the mission Fight back Rikti attacks from Serpent Drummer, as a NPC and an Hostage, for levels 40 - 50.
