So I dressed him as what, if you saw him on the street, you would assume he was: a middle-aged history teacher who was trying to appeal to the kids more, and whose wife had recently bought him stone-washed jeans to update his wardrobe (see: right). A middle aged man in stockings and a mini-skirt isn't exactly a nuanced or interesting giggle. This outfit in particular quickly became boring, though. Aiden has therefore spent a not inconsiderable amount of time as a Catgirl. He is also a very serious boy with a gruff voice like Ian Hitman.
He is the last of the beardmen and in Watch Dogs Legion even his lack of flavour is as a full buffet.
Aiden is a criminal hacker and accused murderer known world over. They're faceless drones that I categorise by their abilities. You can do this with any playable operative in the main game, but it's somehow nowhere near as funny, because they're not proper characters like in Watch Dogs past. It's one of several hilarious ways the game demonstrates some of London's citizens are socially aware. The "Stay Woke" banner behind Aiden is a bit of set dressing you find all over the place. And that's when I realised I could dress him in anything. He was wearing a beige shirt! So after a while I was like, "Clearly this is a man who would appreciate a sleeveless gilet, and went to get him one at a shop. Like, he still is a badass, who brutally beats people with a telescoping baton, but he also has a sensible haircut and a salt-and-pepper beard. You can make all the jokes about his iconic cap you like (and I will), but he's just kind of aged out of his asymmetrical leather coat oooh-I'm-a-badass look. And since London is set in the future, circa 2030, Aiden is also now deep into his 50s. Like, just bullets everywhere, brutal execution deaths left and right. The DLC is actually pretty smart as a thing: it has a slightly modified version of the upgrade system, it gives you the basic tutorial again under the reasonable expectation that this is going to be the first time a bunch of people have played in a while, and also Aiden is really good at shooting people.
Aiden and Wrench are both after a MacGuffin that will allow human minds to occupy robots, but I have found that broadly unimportant. Bloodlines takes place a step removed from the main story of the game, just after the opening attack on London, and just before its cell of hacktivists Dedsec is reactivated.
