Aoren

Personality
The term "curiosity killed the cat" is a defining phrase for Aoren. As a small child, Aoren displayed vast curiosity concerning the world around him, and would often try to learn more about anything he saw. However, that curiosity soon led him to see the harsh reality of the world. Slaughter, corruption, greed, lies and hatred. All these elements had been embedded into his being, leaving a mental scar which would never heal. As he reached adolescence, Aoren's mental faculties began to show, and he became obsessed with knowledge and power. Constantly requesting for the shinobi and elders of the mist village to teach him something, his thirst for knowledge became a growing concern for him. Soon, he fell from grace, as he would perform experiments about life itself, orchestrating various villagers to be assassinated as a means of "research". This ploy would then be discovered by the villagers, who had the young boy incarcerated for two years.

In those years, Aoren's mental faculties had grown worse, and he would threaten other inmates to teach him something or die, leading to isolation several times. However, these mental instabilities would slowly lower as he began to doubt his desires to gain knowledge. He became slightly more sane and laid back, but remained stoic and would never engage anyone in conversation. Upon awakening his Crystal Release kekkei genkai, his psychopathic demeanour resurfaces, and he escapes from the prison as well as Kirigakure. However, the two years spent inside the prison soon led to him encompassing a sadistic and feral nature. He also became powerhungry, going as far as to seek power from Orochimaru, and later betraying the sannin.
