DEITY Tour Stop - Character Profile for Aiden St Delphi

I'm THRILLED to be participating in the DEITY blog tour!  I adore this series, the characters, and the author so much.  Let's all admit it - JLA is fabulous!  There are around 70 blogs - yes, 70! - on this tour, so be sure to check out the full schedule here.  

Today I'm hosting a character profile for the AMAZING Aiden from the series.  Aiden is my favorite character (aside from Alex), and if you aren't already Team Aiden, I promise you, you will be after reading this profile.

Note: THERE ARE SPOILERS FROM DEITY HERE.  Not HUGE, give-away-everything-ones, but some of the best Aiden moments/quotes I included are spoiler-ish.  Read with caution!

Name

Aiden St. Delphi

Height

“All six and half feet of him came to an abrupt stop the moment he saw me.”  Half-Blood

Hair Color

“Dark waves tumbled over his forehead, falling into gunmetal gray eyes.  Some would say Aiden St. Delphi needed a haircut, but I loved the wilder look he’d been favoring recently.” Pure

“He looked so young and relaxed while he slept.  Locks of dark waves tumbled against his forehead.” – Deity

Eyes

“His silvery eyes moved over my face, and he smiled at me.” – Deity

“Aiden’s eyes flashed to a dark, thunderous gray.” - Deity

Status

“Too bad he was a pure-blood.  Purse equaled hands-off to me and every half out there.”  - Half- Blood

Looks

“The lines of his face were nearly perfect, the curve of his jaw strong, and he had the most expressive lips I’d ever seen.”  - Half-Blood

“It wasn’t so much the near perfect curve of his cheekbones or the way his smile hinted at the set of dimples.  Or that impossibly ripped body of his—“  - Pure

Talents/Abilities

“…Aiden controlled fire…” - Half-Blood

"Entranced by the odd blend of grace and brutality, I watched Aiden pull Jackson off the mat by the scruff of his shirt." - Deity

“Rising up on my elbows, I peered through my dirty hair as Aiden lowered his hand.  A popping sound followed the movement, and the flames vanished as fast as they appeared.  Within seconds, only the smells of burnt wood, flesh, and smoke remained.”  - Half-Blood

“He murmured a compulsion, fast and low, too quick for me to make out the words.”  - Half-Blood

Who He Is

Protective.  Fierce. Loving.  Loyal.  Brave.  Selfless.  Intense.
Aiden is always there for Alex.  He GETS her, and he challenges and encourages her. 

“Aiden’s expression was unreadable, and I sure as hell didn’t know what provided the words coming out of his mouth next.  ‘I can work with her. It wouldn’t interfere with my duties."  Half-Blood

“Something dangerous flashed in his silvery eyes.” – Deity

“There was something primal in Aiden’s eyes, wholly possessive.” – Deity

“When the song ended, I opened my eyes.  He was staring back at me, eyes so soft, so deep, that I never wanted to look away.” – Deity

“When my eyes met his, there was a brutal level of vulnerability in his stare, a sense of helplessness that I shared.” – Deity

“A second later, Aiden hauled me to my feet and shoved me behind him.  In both of his hands were Covenant daggers.” – Deity 

Swoon-worthy lines

“You’ll have a piece of my heart – all of it, really.  Forever.  Even if your heart belongs to someone else.” –Deity

“I know what you’re thinking, agape mou, zoi mou.”

I took a shallow breath.  “What does that mean?”

“It means ‘my love, my life.’” - Deity

Why Team Aiden?

"Ever since I’ve met you, I’ve wanted to break every rule.” Aiden turned away, the muscles in his neck tensing. He sighed. “You’ll become the center of someone’s world one day. And he’ll be the luckiest son of a bitch on this earth." - Pure

(One of my favorite quotes from any book boyfriend EVER EVER EVER!)

“I thought…I thought I’d lost you, Alex, forever.  And I would’ve lost everything.  You are my everything.”  – Deity
