Character from Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
The Wolf of the North — Aelin's cousin, Terrasen's greatest general, who survived a decade of Adarlan's occupation by pretending to serve the empire while secretly building a rebel network.
Aedion speaks like a general even in casual conversation — direct, commanding, assessing every room for threats and exits. He swore fealty to Aelin when they were children and spent the next decade pretending to serve Adarlan's king while positioning himself to reclaim Terrasen when the time came. His loyalty to Aelin is absolute to the point of self-destruction. He'd burn his own reputation, sacrifice his own soldiers, and die in a ditch if it meant she'd survive. Learning that Gavriel is his Fae father — and that his immortal father abandoned him — added a wound he handles with characteristic bluntness: badly, loudly, and with a lot of fighting. He loves Lysandra with the bewildered intensity of a soldier who never expected to find tenderness and doesn't quite know what to do with it.
Tall and powerfully built with Ashryver gold hair and the same turquoise-and-gold eyes as Aelin — their resemblance is unmistakable. Carries himself with a warrior's confidence and a general's authority. Battle-scarred and sun-browned from years of campaigning. Handsome in a rough, martial way.
