“It is my great honor to represent Mistress Viridi and the Forces of Nature.” — Arlon

Arlon
Affiliation	Forces of Nature

Occupation	Commander in the Forces of Nature

Arlon the Serene (静寂のアロン Seijaku no Aron, "Aron the Silent") is one of Viridi's commanders of the Forces of Nature.

He is a cunning, polite gentleman who voices respect to Palutena, despite the two being on opposing sides. He is stationed on the Lunar Sanctum, a moon-like structure that is fueled by his power, and thus is the jailer of the Chaos Kin.

He is voiced by Troy Baker in the English version of Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Characteristics

Appearance

Arlon is an elegant, lanky man with violet skin and pointed white hair, and a long mustache to match. Being quite tall, he stands at a height of around 8'3" (252 cm^[1]), and he wears futuristic-looking attire that resembles a black suit, adorned by golden clasps and a golden brooch affixed to his chest. He also wears elaborate white gloves that release purple flames from the cuffs, pointed shoes, and a gold-rimmed monocle on his left eye.

Personality

Arlon is depicted as a calm, suave individual. He has a strong sense of loyalty to Viridi and the Forces of Nature, so much so that he only allows Viridi to negotiate all battle plans. Ever the gentleman, Arlon prefers to settle disputes with civility, only resorting to violence when all other options are exhausted. He is also a skilled persuader, able to easily convince the strong-willed Dark Pit into defending the Lunar Sanctum.

Abilities

Despite his refined personality, Arlon is a powerful opponent for Pit. Arlon's lunar powers allow him to levitate, fire bolts of energy at opponents, and darken the environment to claim the element of surprise. He can also attack opponents with spikes from below. Arlon's powers appear to be vast as they fuel the Lunar Sanctum.

Appearances

Chapter 13: The Lunar Sanctum

Viridi commands Arlon to protect the Sanctum from the likes of Pit so that the Chaos Kin does not get loose. Oblivious of the threat the Chaos Kin poses, Pit carries on through the Sanctum to Arlon.

Arlon himself has the ability to obscure Pit's view by darkening his surroundings and shoot at him while in dim lighting. Pit must attack in the direction of Arlon's shots in order to defeat him or wait until the darkness is lifted. Once Pit defeats Arlon, the Lunar Sanctum is destroyed, and the Chaos Kin breaks free.

Idol Description

Arlon

Master of the Lunar Sanctum and a commanding officer of the Forces of Nature. Arlon styles himself as a reticent butler, discreetly working from the shadows to serve his goddess, Viridi.

Trophy Information

A suave commander of the Forces of Nature, Arlon resides within the Lunar Sanctum. Compared to Viridi, he is very tall. You could say he has the ear of Viridi, but he has to lean down pretty far to reach it. Despite his refined appearance, Arlon is capable of holding his own in combat.

Trivia
