He was infused with aether from the lifestream and in this experiment, his eyes changed color and his subconscious was linked to a shade of another realm; where his counterpart was a first class candidate for the ShinRa SOLDIER program. He often confuses the memories of his counterpart with his own as he was forced to fight as a soldier for the Garlean Empire.After witnessing so much world devastation, Renji fled to Ishgard where he arrived in the midst of the Dragonsong War. Meeting a battleworn highlander named Aaric Roar, the two became as brothers in service to House Fortempts. In the gruesome attack, Aaric Roar was mortally wounded; and Renji took on his friend's name to commemorate his deeds as a guardian to the free peoples everywhere from tyranny.Now reborn Aaric Roar looked to the rebellion in Gyr Abania, Doma, and Bozja. He dedicated much of his time as a freedom fighter before retiring from the war front to become a wandering sellsword and hired hunter. He has dedicated his current time to the Loreseeker's Trust of Ishgard, and as a mentor in the wolves den.
