Dr. Aeon
Overview
Dr. Aeon can be found as an Elite Boss, an Archvillain, or as a Scientist for Arachnos.
The man known as Doctor Thaddeus Aeon AQSA (Arachnos Quantum Structure Association) is without a doubt the most brilliant scientist in the Rogue Isles and probably one of the most brilliant minds of the whole planet. A metahuman genius able to work on literally hundreds of projects at the same time, he is responsible for the creation of inventions such as the NutriPaste or the Power Transference System. Apparently, he is also the creator of the mysterious structure in Grandville known as "The Web" of unknown purpose. Head of the Aeon Corporation based in Cap au Diable, as well as the governor of Cap au Diable itself, he has under his command other scientists of talent such as Dr. Forrester and Dr. Geist... who are almost as crazy as Aeon himself.
His enemies, on the other hand, include the Arachnos Marshal for Cap au Diable, Leon Brass and the mysterious man known as Professor Echo. Recently, the Television became a new adversary after forcing Dr. Aeon into writing a scientific report encouraging everyone to watch more television.
Doctor Aeon is a cowardly man, but he can be a very dangerous if he's found with his combat armor on. That technological jewel allows him to use huge amounts of energy in combat, in melee or at distance, can envelop him in an energy field and can even create copies of himself, which, while they aren't as strong as the original, are still very strong.
Heroes will find him in these missions:
- During the mission Fight back Rikti attacks from Serpent Drummer, as a NPC and an Hostage, for levels 40 - 50.
- During the mission Capture Dr. Aeon, in the Statesman Task Force, as a speaking NPC only, without any actual interaction, levels 45 - 50.
- During the mission Capture Dr. Aeon (a second time), in the Statesman Task Force, as an Archvillain.

Description
An unethical scientific genius, Dr. Aeon is not a man to be trifled with. Some think he may soon become a major player within Arachnos, assuming he survives the plans of his enemies.
Quotes
During the mission Fight back Rikti attacks he will be found after being captured by the Rikti, inside the PTS control complex:
During the first Capture Dr. Aeon mission (the second mission in the Statesman Task Force), he is the main objective of the mission:
During the first cutscene, he will show up dressed in scientist clothes and will flee through a nearby portal:
Dr. Aeon:
- AAAAH! Heroes!
- And I don't have my combat armor!
- I know! I'll escape to my secret base through the portal!
- They'll never catch me now! I am a genius!
- Ah-ha-ha-ha!
Soon after, once at the other side of the portal, he will laugh at his pursuers in a second cutscene:
Dr. Aeon:
- Ah-ha-ha-ha!
- You 'Stupor-powered' fools have fallen into my brilliant trap! Allow me to explain:
- That portal didn't send you to a secret base, instead it sent you into the future, where my Web device has allowed Lord Recluse to conquer the world!
- Mwha-ha-ha!
- But don't worry, fools! I've made arrangements to have you captured by some of Arachnos's operatives here in the future. Like Regent Korol,
- Magus Mu'Drakhan,
- Shadow Spider,
- And Viridian,
- Each has part of the code needed to open this door:
- And set this portal to send you back to the present:
- So just sit tight and wait to be taken prisoner.
- And whatever you do, don't even think about fighting them!
- There's no way you could win, so don't even try it!
- I can't believe I just told them how to escape like that!
- Okay, just erase this recording and we'll start again.
Bane Spider Executioner:
- Uh, sir?
Dr. Aeon:
- What?
Bane Spider Executioner:
- Uh... You said you wanted to transmit this, uh, live...
Dr. Aeon:
- AAAAH! Shut it off! Shut it off!
During the second Capture Dr. Aeon mission (the fourth mission in the Statesman Task Force), you'll finally engage him in combat:
