Aarik has brown hair cut short on the right side and dropping to shoulder length on his left. He tends to wear a cape along with utilitarian clothing, including a number of leather pouches at his belt. During the events of ''White Sand'', he has tanned skin, likely stemming from his exposure to UV light on the [[Darkside]]. The sword he uses was given to him as a gift from Kenton, and is supposedly rather valuable.

Aarik is quick on his feet, proving himself able to evade an armed enemy in very close quarters without needing to make use of his own weapon. He is, however, a skilled swordsman {{book ref|ws1|4}} and
== History ==
He became friends with Kenton at a young age, giving him a basic understanding of the [[sand mastery|sand master]]s. His father--Lord [[Raagent]]--disowned Aarik for unknown reasons. Approximately three years ago, Aarik traveled to [[Darkside]] in hopes of becoming a successful merchant.{{book ref|ws1|6}} He has returned to Lossand after little apparent success.
Aarik believed Kenton to be dead for two weeks before hearing that his friend had survived. Aarik arrives at the [[Diem]] shortly after Kenton is named acting Lord Mastrell. The two are reunited and spend some time catching up. Aarik spends the night in Kenton's apartments.{{book ref|ws1|6}} When [[Drile]] arrives in the morning, Aarik seems skeptical of Kenton's suspicion that Drile was behind the Kerztian attack on the Diem.▼

Aarik goes with Kenton to many of the Taisha when Kenton is petitioning for their favor, trying to sway their votes to keep the Diem alive.{{book ref|ws2|2}} This includes Raagent, the Lord General. During the events of the hunt, when Aarik rescues his father from the karak, the two appear to mend their relationship somewhat, and are seen on friendly terms when Kenton is leaving.{{book ref|ws2|3}} After another assassination attempt and a search for the diem's missing funds, he realized how dire the situation is and considers leaving Kenton to his fate. Ultimately, he chooses to stay on the account of their friendship and Kenton's cause being just.{{book ref|ws2|5}}
