Arlon: Difference between revisions

'''Arlon''', known in Japan as '''Aron''' (アロン ''Aron''), is a new character introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. He is a lunar being that lives inside a giant mechanical moon called the [[Lunar Sanctum]]. As an ally of [[Viridi]], he shows hostility towards [[Palutena's Army]]. Arlon first appears during Chapter 13: ''[[The Lunar Sanctum]]'' as the chapter's boss.

He is a very tall, lanky, elderly-looking being who stands around 260 cm (8'6")<ref>http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/File:KIUCharacterHeightChart.png</ref>. Arlon has lavender-colored skin and gray hair that ends in three points that face upward, and a mustache that is quite long  that points away horizontally. He wears very formal yet somewhat futuristic-looking attire that resembles a black suit with golden clasps and a golden broach below his neck. He also wears elaborate white gloves that release purple flames, fancy pointy shoes and a gold-framed monocle on his left eye. His overall appearance makes him resemble a butler.

He is generally a very suave and intelligent gentleman with a strong sense of honor for Viridi and the [[Forces of Nature]]. His honor goes as far as only allowing Viridi to negotiate all possible battle plans. However he does prefer non-violence, preferring that he and Pit just sit down for a chat instead of causing chaos in his sanctum. Despite this, Arlon is a very capable fighter and can hold his own in battle.

Arlon makes his appearance in [[The Lunar Sanctum|Chapter 13]], where [[Pit]] heads towards his Lunar Sanctum to destroy it, as Palutena believes the Forces of Nature plan to use it to attack the humans. Arlon quickly intercepts Pit and Palutena's conversation, letting them know that he will defend himself against them but wishes to handle this more civilly, however since Viridi is the only one allowed to handle negotiations within the Forces of Nature, Pit and Palutena have no choice but to break into the Lunar Sanctum and defeat Arlon who is using his powers to fuel the sanctum. After much struggle and verbal clashes between Arlon and the heroes, Pit finally makes it to his domain where the battle soon commences. Arlon proves to be a powerful fighter of great skill whose powers leave Pit blinded many times, but in the end Pit manages to overcome this and deal the finishing blow to Arlon, cutting off his power to the Lunar Sanctum, thus destroying the celestial base. However as the Lunar Sanctum breaks apart, the [[Chaos Kin]] escapes from its interior. What became of Arlon afterwards is unknown.   

He is later briefly mentioned by Viridi three years later in [[Palutena's Temple (chapter)|Chapter 20]], where she says that she does not blame Pit for Arlon's defeat as he was just trying to do what he had to. She refers to him in the present tense, which hints that he's likely still alive.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==

===Trophy Descrption===

'''NA Version''': ''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.''

'''PAL Version''': ''One of the leaders of the Forces of Nature, and master of the Lunar Sanctum. Refined and keen on formality, he styles himself as a butler, but he has a hidden quality to him that's rather...vicious. So much so, that apparently the opposing Underworld Army even tried to recruit him!''
